American Football’s a pretty good candidate I think.
Gold mine gutted by the bright eyes
the whole of The Silver Gymnasium album as well
I mean it’s about whiskey and cocaine but it still has a halcyon days feel
Eels have a lot of brutal ones.
CHVRCHES’ new album opener, Graffiti, pretty much fits the bill.
Also, the entirety of Let’s Eat Grandma’s I’m All Ears, but that might be cheating, what with them still being youth and all.
I will be grateful for this day, I will be grateful for each day to come is a good look back on youth. Plus stuff on a collection of songs and letting off the happiness cos he was a teenager when they were written.
I like how goldmine gutted lyrics ‘Well I lagged behind, So you got ahead’ mirrors I will be grateful for this days ‘So you got ahead of me, And I guess I’m still dragging behind’. I think there are loads of bright eyes songs that really romanticise the past, but you just know at the time he probably hated it at the time
Yes, I was going to mention that one as well. Very nostalgic lyrics.
I hate the ‘so it’s 5 hours before 1998’ bit as I think what was I doing in 1998, listening to feeder, with a center parting wearing a fleece
The first two albums by Japandroids always sound a bit youthful and nostalgic at the same time to me.
“Twin Falls” by Built to Spill fits.
