way back when the forest was a tree
you knelt down and kissed us tenderly
and from the dew, far as the eye could see
grew the grapes, grew the grapes
a vintage sweeter than the finest flora
on a tongue so sharp, it came and almost tore you
and in the place that we now know as california
we fell asleep, fell asleep
mother, were you weeping when the sun went down?
mother, did you hold us in your arms?
are we sorry enough?
we used the sun and starlight as a tent
the legends and inventions came and went
a hundred thousand years were scored and spent
digging graves, digging graves
if we dreamt, we only dreamt serenely
but when we woke, the sound was all machinery
and everybody made it look so easy
to be calm, to be calm
mother, were you weeping when the sun went down?
mother, did you hold us in your arms?
mother, will you show us how to mend the scraps of this bridal gown?
pour your wine on your tablecloths and clothes
raise a glass for our glorious, scoffing toast
here's one for the jowls of our host
we'll let her weep, let her weep

Though I have just as much nostalgia with Volume Alpha, I think this one is a little more nostalgic for me. I was primarily a creative mode player cause I sucked at survival mode for a while and I played the console versions a lot. It was not until quarantine came around that I played survival mode often. I own the CD and I pre-ordered the vinyl cause I love this album. AG319 Alt Acc
OK so there are albums that are so good they'll knock your socks off, and then there are albums THAT WILL CAUSE SOCKS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY TO ACTUALLY FORM INTO A SOCK ROBOT THAT C418 USES TO TAKE OVER LONDON. Sorry. oliverblueish
I think the most comfort I've felt in this life was being fifteen and playing this game at 2am. Words cannot describe how much this game meant to me caracalled
