    They Might Be Giants’ Glean captures the first part of their epic 2015 Dial-A-Song year. From the folk-pop majesty of “Answer” to the manic violin-driven “Music Jail, Pt. 1 & 2” to the bluesy bass-grind of “Underwater Woman,” Glean is uncompromising in range and unrelenting in quality; this is a must-have set of tracks.

lyrics

How thoughtless of me
How dumb can you be?
Hopeless, wasn't that
What you called me and in fact
It was even more true than you knew
Where did the end of the rope go?
I forget now, did I let go?
After you left me hanging on your words
Which hung down like a rope
Where did the end of it go?
I'll never know
You're gone, but I'm still there
Clawing at the air
Now it's curtains for me
And I'll spend eternity
Doing joyless cartwheels in the void
Where did the end of the rope go?
I forget now, did I let go?
Long ago you left me hanging on your words
Which hung down like a rope from the sky
Where did the end of it go?
No one can ever know
Where did the end of the rope go?
I forget now, did I let go?
Once upon a time you left me hanging from your words
Which hung down in the ether like a rope from the sky
Wherever did the end of it go?
No one can ever know
