Explosions in the Sky Day 5 Lyrics

day 5: in years past, we have occasionally remarked to each other about how we would like to make the saddest dance record in the world. there is something about that concept that appeals to each of us. on this day we decided to try and see if we could actually do it. we did not completely fail: this is a dance song. however, it turned out to be the opposite of sad. this song does hold the distinction of probably having the most instruments we have ever used on an individual track: several layers of delayed guitars, e-bowed guitars, bass, piano, xylophone, hand bells, electronic drums, real drums, tambourine, and jingle bells. we are hoping someone will want to use it in the uplifting conclusion to a movie that takes place in a high school.
