lyrics
you were staying with your grandparents
in tennessee for the summer
we were 15 and we'd been together
for a little over a year
i didn't know what to do with myself
you emailed me everyday
told me it took you about an hour
to send each one of them
because they only had dialup
where they lived out in the country
you hated it there on the farm
your uncles always told you stories
about how the previous owner
hung himself out in the barn
and it kept you up all night
all we talked about was turning
18 and getting married at the court house
your parents coldn't stop us then
you sent me some pictures
you took while you were out there
there was one of you smiling while you
posed next to your grandpa's old blue ford
that didn't run anymore but there was
a mountain of coke cans in the back of it
goddamn, i've never seen anything so beautiful
in tennessee for the summer
we were 15 and we'd been together
for a little over a year
i didn't know what to do with myself
you emailed me everyday
told me it took you about an hour
to send each one of them
because they only had dialup
where they lived out in the country
you hated it there on the farm
your uncles always told you stories
about how the previous owner
hung himself out in the barn
and it kept you up all night
all we talked about was turning
18 and getting married at the court house
your parents coldn't stop us then
you sent me some pictures
you took while you were out there
there was one of you smiling while you
posed next to your grandpa's old blue ford
that didn't run anymore but there was
a mountain of coke cans in the back of it
goddamn, i've never seen anything so beautiful

Turns (the song, in particular) is precisely the music I wish I could write. It has a melancholic/introspective feel while still having drive behind it.

Hymn Binding
by From the Mouth of the Sunsupported by 54 fans who also own “Courthouse Wedding”
Incredible atmospheric cinematic ambient like neoclassical beauty. If blissful serenity was an album this would be it. simply can not give it enough credit. Such a deep, emotional and mesmerizing experience. Your thoughts will drift into it so effortlessly. A mix of melancholic and hopeful songs with incredibly soothing and expansive soundscapes. It really does wonders for ones' mental being and brings such blissful joy that by time it's over you won't feel the same in the least. Magnificent
