Revisiting: The Walkmen - You & Me



What I really love about The Walkmen's latest album You & Me is that it harks back to the Walkmen sound that I fell in love with back in 2003... drenched with haunting, beautiful organ sounds, pierced by Hamilton's distinctive pessimistic growl... it is an album that induces sigh after sigh as each song pulls you into a memory you might rather forget, though not regret.

One of my favorites on the album is the closer, "If Only It Were True," where Hamilton sings, "If only it were true, I'd go with you... if only it were true, I'd say I do... so don't come calling for me, 'cause baby my dream ain't through, and when, when I've had enough, oh then I'll die in dreams of you." So. Good.
