lyrics

It’s not the words you say but how you say it
I saved a picture where your hair was braided
They found your wallet in the cemetery
You told your daughter she was ordinary

You hate the name Junior
your husband loved his computers
Your mother never was one
the eldest of seven children

If you don’t have it then you’ll never give it
And I don’t blame you for the way you’re living
A little boy was born in February
You couldn’t sober up to hold a baby

You hate the name Donna
You love to judge strangers’ karma
We drove from New Jersey
the trucks always made you worry

Hold my hand now, time to
go to bed it’s way too late

You hate the name Donna
You love to judge strangers’ karma
We drove from New Jersey
the trucks always made you worry

You raised a saint Donna
You love to judge strangers’ karma
You’re prayin’ for a funeral
You sang it like hallelujah
You sang it like hallelujah
You sang it like hallelujah
You sang it like hallelujah
You sang it like hallelujah

Notos
by The Oh Hellos

supported by 4 fans who also own “Donna”

The Oh Hellos sind was besonderes für mich. Ich mag die Wechsel zwischen den ruhigen, atmospherischen Passagen und den rhythmischen Passagen. Ich mag wie ihr Spannung aufbaut. Ich mag die Stimme von Maggie und Tyler. Ich mage den unisono Gesang der ganzen Band. Ich wünsche mir eine neue Produktion von The Oh Hellos und Surfjan Stevens; und eine Tour mit einem Konzert im Westen von Deutschland. Kert Goéland

Paper Window emotionally captures me with every listen. It houses my favourite song ever written and keeps me together when all hope feels lost. Keith Porteous (they/em)

The Oh Hellos have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since. ladyoforion

Allison Lorenzen & Midwife team up for a gooseflesh-raising cover of this ’90s radio staple, rendering it profoundly unsettling. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 20, 2023

Tempering existential heaviness with gentle melodies, Madeline Jonston's latest is the sound of heavy music at its most featherlight. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 16, 2021

For all its digital effects and carefully manipulated textures, the core of "Forever" is its broken human heart. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 10, 2020
