Swims歌曲歌词：
I can’t get the image out of my head
Of when I held you right there
And watched you die
Upstairs in the back bedroom of our house
Where we have lived for many years
Your last gasping breaths
I see it again and again
As the breeze blew in
The room I still don’t go in at night
Because I see you
Your transformed, dying face will recede with time
Is what our counselor said
Who we walked to every Monday holding hands
Slower every week with your breathing
Until we had to drive
But then only two months after you died
Our counselor died
All at once, her empty office with no light on
As if her work was done
We are all always so close to not existing at all
Except in the confusion of our survived-bys grasping at the echoes
Today our daughter asked me if mama swims
I told her, “Yes, she does
And that’s probably all she does
Now.”
What was you is now borne across waves
Evaporating

Mount Eerie简介：
小简介
Mount Eerie is an Anacortes, Washington-based band fronted by Phil Elverum. Elverum is the principal member of the band, but he has collaborated with many other musicians on his records.
History
Following the release of The Microphones’ Mount Eerie album, Phil Elverum announced that he would no longer use the Microphones moniker, opting instead to record under the name Mount Eerie, after the area in Anacortes, Washington called Mount Erie. In an interview with CITR-FM’s Discorder in September 2003, Elverum gave his reasons for this change: “Mount Eerie is a new project. The Microphones was completed, or at least at a good stopping point. I did it because I am ready for new things. I am new.”[1]
Shortly after this announcement, Live in Japan, recorded during three days during Elverum’s tour in Japan in 2003, was released by K Records. Despite the fact that the album contained all new material, the album was credited to ‘The Microphones’. The quotation marks contained in the release are credited to the fact that Phil Elverum considered this to neither be a Microphones project, nor a Mount Eerie release.

Elverum has also created a 3-LP recording of Mount Eerie titled Live in Copenhagen, released by Burnt Toast Vinyl in late 2004. The first Mount Eerie studio album was “No Flashlight” Songs of the Fulfilled Night, released on Elverum’s own label, P.W. Elverum & Sun, Ltd. at What the Heck Fest in Anacortes, WA on July 16, 2005 and commercially released on August 16, 2005. Released domestically on vinyl LP (although the LP version contained a copy of the CD), the album contained an extremely large sheet of paper containing track-by-track liner notes and pictures.
July 2007 marked the release of another ambitious project, Mount Eerie pts. 6 & 7 a 132-page, hardcover coffee-table book of his photography, packaged with a 10″ record. This book is the first large-scale publication of his photography, and possibly presents closure to the Mount Eerie song cycle started in the album Mount Eerie by the now-defunct Microphones.
