Welcome the night - the Ataris

Can we understand life
And live it at the same time
Where is this purpose you speak of?
Are we the background in this photograph
The soundtrack to this night
And we are fading out, before our eyes

Close your eyes and welcome in the night
Close your eyes and welcome in the night

If heavens so wonderful
Why are we all so afraid of dying young
We are dying young
We are the patterns and the shapes
The patchwork from the window on this place
We are alone, alone, alone

Close your eyes and welcome in the night
Close your eyes and welcome in the night

This television static burns my eyes
And there is no one here
That can keep me warm tonight
Where is this purpose
Where is the lie, the lie, the lie

Close your eyes and welcome in the night
Close your eyes and welcome in the night

Welcome the night is underated

[NervousBird444]

@eusousuperior Why? Because Kris transcended his musical output so far beyond the confines, repetitive nature, and dull formula of "pop-punk"? I think this record created a crystal clear divide between the open-minded and narrow-minded fans. Just because you and so many others can't adjust to such a dramatic change doesn't make it "horrible". The albums "challenging"... but it's a fucking gem... A brilliant revelation. A luminous sanctuary for anyone who's ever been consumed by hopelessness.

@NervousBird444 I totally agree with you ! When bands make such a drastic change they really do draw a line between open minded listeners or people who wants to be fed with the same stuff. Its kinda funny how when people don't complain for a style change of a band, they complain because they made the same record again eheh
