A poetic longing for innocent times.
The sound pays tribute to Joy Division, with a bouncing bass and dark synths.
Although not being played live very often, front man Sam Herring would sing it a capella when – in their earlier, more DIY years – the band was struggling with technical issues during...
Swept Inside Lyrics
[Verse 1]
By the shattered calls of a mother's arms
All swept-inside like the rosary
That fell away when her girlish charms
Cried out to take on motherhood
She waits by the windowsill
All wrapped in white and puzzling
What happened to the child inside?
Who ran the streets and the days at night...
[Chorus]
She says, "Nothing seems the same."
And, "I can't change a thing."
"My body's like a wave, breaking to the sea."
She says, "Everything seems strange."
Locked behind the years
But life is ours to find, in the days at night
[Verse 2]
There passes a stranger every eve
Who walks himself on a silver-leash
And in his head, the worlds asleep
Or, so the wrinkles in his hands believe
When he was young, he had a dream
To be a star, on the movie-screen
Now it all seems a silly lie
As he walks alone
And, the days on fire
[Chorus]
He says, "Nothing seems the same."
And, "I can't feel a thing."
"My bodies like a wave, caving in on me"
He says, "Everything seems strange."
Holding back the tears
And he smiles just like a child
In the days at night
[Refrain]
Mother of song
You'll find the right way
To cherish in dreams
All of the small things
Father in time
You'll find a world
That's so perfect and calm
All of the small things
[Refrain]
Mother of song
You'll find the right way
To cherish in dreams
All of the small things
Father in time
You'll find a world
That's so perfect and calm
All of the small things
[Refrain]
Mother of song
You'll find the right way
To cherish in dreams
All of the small things
Father in time
You'll find a world
That's so perfect and calm
All of the small things
[Refrain]
Mother of song
You'll find the right way
To cherish in dreams
All of the small things
Father in time
You'll find a world
That's so perfect and calm
All of the small things

What did Future Islands say about "Swept Inside"?
William Cashion: In retrospect, taking that break and taking our time on the record let us really nit-pick all of the details, all of the subtleties of the record. For example, at the end of ‘Swept Inside’, mixed very low, is an instrumental song that Sam wrote called ‘A Song For You While I’m Away’...
