Lily is a big brass band/Who fills the air with song
from Lily lyrics by Benjamin Gibbard
Kissed acoustically with traces of Death Cab‘s “I Will Follow You Into The Dark,” Former Lives‘ a cappella-curtaining aside, this tambourine shake of a love ditty is Gibbard’s shortest solo sentiment, a sweet ode to a character named “Lily,” who takes on a handful of cheeky, rose-colored metaphors.
