in the years before we really knew we would get lowered
half of our cats ran off or got run over
all day we look back in wonder
all day we look back
and the house we grew up in went missing twice
I slept on the hallway floors in unfed daylight
the back of my throat’s all scratched and red for this
choking the lightning cutting my ribs
our dog on our carpet breathes low and soft
maybe this is where we need to be
I’m still feelin’ just as lost
give me regrets I can hold and examine in the light
all my reimagined pasts, one undiminished life
all day I’ll look back and wonder
all day I’ll look back
What are we looking for when we look back? Do we ever really see our lives as they were? Could it all have turned out differently, somehow? These are the questions at the heart of the latest release from Thank You Thank You, UNDIMINISHED LIFE.
“Undiminished Life” was conceived during recording sessions in 2015, initially an acoustic sketch inspired by listening to Mount Eerie and messing around in an open tuning. Left unfinished, traces of those original sessions remain; the song slowly grew into what it is, passing through a host of seemingly-unrelated collaborators—many of whom never met one another—in a manner not unlike crafting an exquisite corpse in slow motion. Dreamt up as a companion piece, "Look Alive" similarly smears the contributions of different musicians into something not strictly identifiable, more ghostly than merely ambient, an imprint of the performances that comprise it. With this work, Thank You Thank You further explores the porous nature of collaboration and the inimitable forms that result whenever distinct voices combine.
