Deerhunter - "Helicopter"

'Deerhunter' are a four piece indie rock/ambient band from Atlanta with a fast growing fan base, particularly after the release of the 2010 album 'Halcyon Digest'. The lead singer and songwriter Bradford Cox also records solo material under 'Atlas Sound'. 'Halcyon Digest' is an album of nostalgia... like a digest of memories, as Cox has described it. "Helicopter” is a haunting reflection... a well constructed piece of indie pop that was one of the highlights of 2010.



Take my hand and pray with me

My final days in company
The devil now has come for me
And helicopters circling the scene

And I pray for rest
Could you pray for us?
We know he loves you the best
We know he loves you the best

The light's inside my cave
I'm tired of my cave

Oh, these drugs, they play on me these terrible ways
They don't pay like they used to pay
I used to make it day to day

No one cares for me
I keep no company
I have minimal needs
And now they are through with me

Now they are through with me
