Lyrics Old familiar way Of Montreal

 1.011

Old familiar way


Neither the flowers on the hill
Or the moonlight on the sea
Have ever looked so blue
And everything looks new again
In that old familiar way

The view from my room
Of the ships on the bay
Had come to bore me through and through
But they suddenly seem new again
In that old familiar way

The delicate ballet of blossoms falling off a tree
Had long gone unnoticed by me
I'm stunned by what now I finally see
It's amazing the wonders you can find
Just by stepping outside

There's a skip in my step a divine state of joy
In everything I do
Cause I am feeling new again
In that old familiar way

When I'm awoken from my dreams
By a cuckoo on the roof
I always join in too
And every sound sounds new again
In that old familiar way

The life I used to know
When I was busy always on the go
Left me with nothing to show
Now I feel that I can honestly say
I'm living a suitable life
I'm glad I finally got it right

Welcome to the Gay Parade

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics OLD FAMILIAR WAY of OF MONTREAL is also present in the album The gay parade (1999)

Biografia

Of Montreal is an American musical group formed in 1996 in Athens, Georgia, by visionary Kevin Barnes. The band's name comes from a relationship of Barnes with a girl from Montreal that ended abruptly. Barnes founded the band after leaving his previous group, The Gerbils. Of Montreal is known for its psychedelic and pop sound, characterized by catchy melodies, surreal lyrics, and complex arrangements. The band is closely associated with the Elephant 6 collective, an indie rock movement of the 1990s that gave rise to numerous underground artists. Throughout their career, Of Montreal has released over ten albums, including "Hissing Fauna Are You the Destroyer?" (2007), considered one of their most influential and critically acclaimed works. Other important albums include "Satanic Panic in the Attic" (2005) and "Lousy with Sylvianbriar" (2010). Among Of Montreal's most representative songs are "The Past is a Grotesque Animal", "Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse", "Ghetto Love" and "Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games".
