r/coheed's Song of the Day #72: Away We Go

Away We Go is yet again another smash. That's 6 in a row, folks. Pretend Subtraction is better than it is, and you've got 9 killer songs in a row! If you're a fan of Mothers of Men, it's 12 in a row. Wow. This album, man. Anyways, Away We Go has a classic rock vibe to it that really sells me. The lyrics are once again so good. Claudio is getting better with age, surely. The ho ho, ha's and what not rock, and the whoa oh's are a nice throwback to days of old. The chorus is so pretty... Goddammit, this song is another favorite. It's kinda hard to process so much good at once. Sinking into this beautiful undertow, together with you. HEY! Whoa oh oh, whoa oh. Love the super high pitched OOOOOHHHH

The Fiction- Dr. Straight and his team have done everything they can to save Meri Amory's life after the car wreck, but it all proves fruitless; she cannot be saved.

Her life begins to flash before her eyes; Meri feels herself guided by a mysterious presence through a strange landscape. The world morphs around her and suddenly she finds herself in a familiar place: the Jersey City dunes, on her way to meet a boy she's only met once prior. She is anxious; she has lived this before and yet she feels her heart beating faster and faster as she approaches her destination.

And there he is, at the end of the dock: a young Sirius Amory. The two embrace, not saying anything, happy to be together. "It's nice to see you again, Sirius," she says; and when he opens his mouth, there are no words. She is enveloped in a warm glow, as she is transported into the limbo of the Keywork, content but unaware of what her afterlife holds.

The Real- Claudio reminiscing of days of old with Chondra, most notably her driving 17 hours to meet him for a date in New Jersey. He canceled a show, citing sickness to see her. CUUUUTEEE

The Part- The way to music drops downward with the lyrics in the chorus. So good!

EDIT: I'm of the opinion that Number City, Gravity's Union, and Away We Go should be a song suite. I know they didn't do it that way because of Key Entity Extraction, but dammit if The Collision II: Gravity's Union or some other Coheed-esque name wouldn't rock.
