“Let’s Get Out of the Romance” is the first song from the SINGERS LP, released in 2005. It deals with Phil’s idealistic expectations moving to Norway and isolating himself, and the subsequent acknowledgement of his own misleading romanticism. Its refrain is reprised in Lost Wisdom’s “Flaming Home”.

Let’s Get Out of the Romance Annotated
[verse: Phil Elverum]
So I managed to make myself cold
Just like I wanted to
So I managed to be buried in snow
I thought that wearing white
Would make me good
Bring out my eyes
I thought virtue could be mine
We already know that there's no rock
To buy the things we need to live
So we must open our mouths
And close our eyes, and tilt back our heads
And lift up our arms
Traveling north to winter nights
Was how I planned on getting pure
And frozen white, soft and snakey northern lights
I stood, and yes, I managed
To wash my face there in the snow
Clean the crud from my eyes
And gasp and see dawn
The first rays of light coming over the hill
Clearly belted out..
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
But still I had my hopes
Of how picturesque I would be
Watching the sunrise, so the sun surprised
Rose on the other side. I gasped
I turned, re-opened my eyes
And felt size rise
To clear and towering words
I sang along...
[chorus: Phil Elverum and SINGERS]
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
All the sweetness in the world just looks gross in that disguise
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
All the sweetness in the world just looks gross in that disguise
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
There's only one way
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
Say "Goodbye" and "No"
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
Forget it
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
Forget sacred paths
Let's get out of the romance
Forget scenic views
Let's get out of the romance
Forget, forget, forget, forget truths
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
Forget golden friendships
Let's get out of the romance
Forget [?]
Let's get out of the romance
Forget your own name
Let's get out of the romance
Forget [?]
Let's get out of the romance
Forget [?]
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
All the sweetness in the world just looks gross in that disguise
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
[outro: Phil Elverum and SINGERS]
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
On and on
Let's get out of the romance
On and on
Let's get out of the romance
This is it
Let's get out of the romance
This is what it's like
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
Let's get out of the romance
