Something I just noticed: In Torches, Father Ignorance and Mother Fortuna are mentioned, being told to make brothers and sisters of us all while also painting each other in a negative light. Later on in Eurus, Fortuna is mentioned again in the second verse, described as sitting “idly by” with how “she finishes her cake and takes a bite of mine.” Notice also how it’s only the male singer in Eurus, and he says he “spin[s] her wheel with all [his] might.” Spinning a wheel is also mentioned in Torches. I’m starting to think that the male singer is Father Ignorance and the female singer is Mother Fortuna, and the albums of the four winds, along with all the other messages they tell us, are sharing the story of Father Ignorance and Mother Fortuna and how they’re possibly turning over a new leaf with each other, starting off in the album of Notos discrediting each other, and then ending off in the Zephyrus album with building each other up. The final song, Rounds, is both of them singing together, where before, for the most part, they sang separate with the other occasionally singing backup vocals. I can’t believe I’ve never noticed this storyline before now.

I had always imagined a different pair being the two singers, interacting with Father ignorance and mother fortuna, but that's a very cool way of looking at it!

Something about the music that The Oh Hellos make just fills me with a childlike awe/happiness that nearly nothing else does. Excellent music for writing fantasy!

Shimmering not with flakes nor particulates, but with the very magic and essence that world with its cream-colored skies and gossamer clouds, diaphanous dew and magisterial fauna, was born into.

Holden Caulfield once said, “What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.” Well, it just happened to me. I finished listening to these songs and immediately wanted to sit down with the writer and discuss all the “interpolations.” I imagine it would be a fun, fiesty conversation where we wouldn’t always agree, but a lot would be learned. I have so many questions, so much to say. I love it when that happens. God bless!

dude putting ambiance on in the background to match with each theme (ocean for Notos, auttumn for Eurus? winter/wind for Boreas and a forest for Zephyrus) really adds to it all.

so something that hit me while listening to Notos at like- 2 am, was a possible storyline. in notos, there are several mentions of natural disasters, from flash floods to earthquakes, my theory, is that it's a child coming up with fun fantastical ways to cope with evacuating in an earthquake.

The wind goes round and round, spinning it's cycle all the way round, it's an ever turning way, it's a constant change, renewing and constant chance of improvement and redemption, it is the spring cleaning that keeps coming round, and rebuilding ourselves. there is the hopeful summer, harvest of fall, despairing winter, and renewing spring, and our wheel will keep on spinning until we finally reach our end, but it gives us as many chances as possible. a living cycle will solve the dying waste

I just found this album last week, during a really rough time dealing with losing my dad. I'm absolutely floored by this. I've been speechless, I've been in tears. This album keeps surprising me again and again. Since I discovered the entire quartet at once and listened to them back to back driving home, I think I experienced it a little differently than the OG fans who had to wait between releases. So it was easier to see the quartet as one continuous album than four EPs. And as a whole, I took them more like a person's cycle through the good and bad of life. In Notos, you have the "good times" of summer... or so it seems. The singer is seeing the status quo and questioning it, and just then, the storm comes rolling in. I love how Notos is almost *encouraging* the subject to just... let it rip. The storm is coming from within. It comes exploding outwards, like a scream or a shockwave, and the next instrumental is "Mandatory Evacuation"... honestly my favourite instrumental in the series. Eurus is next, and I really feel like Notos, New River, and O Sleeper are the exact same cataclysmic storm, from multiple perspectives - the singer of New River is the catalyst who drowned in it, New River is reveling in the cataclysm, and the ones in O Sleeper make it to high ground... only for the rest of Eurus as a whole to kick in. Changes are rocking their world as the leaves turn colours, for better or for worse, and all they can do is hold on. But then, as Passerine comes, the singers realize it's going to get *even worse*. The changes will leave carnage in their wake, and the cold will be unforgiving. And that's where we have the winter, Boreas. Our singers are struggling in the aftermath. Those changes were inevitable, they *had* to happen... but God, does it ever hurt. This one turns inwards to the speakers/singers, showing how deeply they've been wounded by the tearing down of the world they knew. It's gutted them, stripped them bare, left them wondering how they'll survive the winter. How they'll make it one more night. But they don't give up hope. And just when it seems they can't take any more, springtime comes. (Zephurys opens with the metaphor that absolutely ROCKED me, comparing baby Moses to an illegal immigrant being floated into the USA down a river...). But I feel like Zephyrus as a whole is... almost like a quiet hymn to me. One of thankfulness for the will to go on, for relief that they've made it, with a desire to reach back in time and reassure their old selves that it was all worth it. There's a sadness here, in acknowledgement of the fact that things will never be the same. But there's beauty in the differences. We emerge in the spring not as our old selves, but as something radically, beautifully changed, still glimmering with reflections of the fire that forged them. And there's also an acknowledgement that this may not be the end of this... Rounds comes in and knows that it might all happen again. But we know that this cycle CAN be survived. And survive we shall. Hands down, Zephyrus is my favourite song on the album. Brings me to tears every time. In my mind... Notos is the wind that brings the storm to shatter what was. Eurus is the wind of tearing down everything that remained of that world. Boreas is the wind that blows straight through you, chilling the world to its bone in the aftermath of what happened. And Zephyrus is the wind of rebirth - a breath of life with the warmth it takes to start over and try again.

Absolutely love it when people find meaning in music. Im sorry to hear about your dad; it's always hard losing close family.

My thoughts and feelings about the meanings behind this album: The theming of the first two albums doesn't continue one to one into the second two, notably because of the large gap in between times they were released. Notos and Eurus were realesed in 2017 and 2018 respectively, and feel like a continuation of one another. Boreas and Zephyrus were released later in 2020, during covid, which greatly effects the mood of the album. As such, I believe that when talking about the theming of the album it is important to separate the frst half from the second half, as they have themes that are different enough it's worth talking about seperately. I am of the opinion that the theme of the first half of this album is a dismantling of Christian beliefs and questioning why they are the way they are. The Oh Hellos themselves have stated that they wrote the first half at a time when their own Christian views and beliefs have been increasingly used as justification for great atrocities, and that the album is a dismantling of that. Going through step by step, I feel it is very easy to read the album in this light. Some of the songs don't line up 1 to 1, because it's an album and has a general theme instead of a concise storyline. I think the first EP, Notos, is about dismantling the old systems, using a great storm to justify rapid and violent change. Starting from On the Mountain Tall, which is about how people use Christianity to justify violence, and ultimately beliefs grounded in anger, and a quieter, softer interpretation of god. "Whisper to me we words in a voice so small, like the one that to Elijah called," refers to God's voice being quiet small and soft. Meanwhile, while describing people who's faith is tied to anger and fury they write "He was not within them." There is also an interesting couple of lines in here about the duality of Christianity and how it both wants you to love God and fear God. I think Torches is one of the easiest to interpret with this thought, specifically being how hate and prejudice are passed down from generation to generation, likening it to passing down torches and the spinning of wheels. Wheels come up an awful lot throughout the album, and are a very important motif about cycles and the passage of time and repeating of patterns. Constellations is about drawing meaning from nothing, "clinging to the faces and shapes in the silence" referencing how constellations are ultimately just patterns drawn by people, instead of having some greater meaning. The last stanza of the song is extra interesting, as it describes a shift in constellations and a change in beliefs, harkening back to the theme of the album. Notos is very interesting, as it describes a great storm, which may be a metaphor for a sudden change. However, the song uses "I" to describe the storm, that they are the change that is coming, their voice a great storm that is shifting belief, and an incredible anger and fury as they dismantle the old world. Ultimately, the song ends repeating "you gotta let go" while fading out. New River is about change, specifically that change will always come and that you have to except change, even if it can be scary. Again, this relates back to the theme of the first EP, a destruction of old systems in a great storm that wipes away the old. This song states that change WILL come, and the only thing you can do is change with it or drown in the new river. If the first EP is about recognizing that there is a problem and asking for rapid change, I think the second EP, Eurus, is about trying to understand the problem, and recognizing what needs to change. O Sleeper is about after recognizing that something needs to change, "waking up," and starting completely over. Turning the tables in the temples on their side, burning the pillars of the old world, cutting away the mountains and filling the dales below. Grow is about accepting the natural world as holy, and embracing nature. This is a reoccurring theme as well, nature being inherently holy shows up many more times in this album. Simply put, Eurus is about capitalism. It likens the grind of work and importance of wealth to Sisyphus's boulder, an impossible task. The gods in this song represent the wealthy, and how they exploit the underclass, and the wheel of Fortuna is essentially gambling if your born rich. It also has lines about how people hurt and exploit each other for money. Hieroglyphs is the burning of the wheel established in torches. It's about the beauty and faith in the natural world, and how the world is "both sacred and dust," and how it will destroy the old systems. Passerine is about how Christianity is used both to justify joy and hatred. Passerines are a classification of bird that notably includes both songbirds and birds of prey, and the song is about how because so many Christians are so hateful it has made it harder to connect with and believe in god, as well as the guilt that comes with denouncing other people who should share your beliefs. The birds looking like centurions instead of messiahs is the most obvious example, but also pruning feathers could be a metaphor for deciding what to believe in, and the chorus is about how the guilt has made it harder to connect with religion. When he comes knocking at my door refers to god (in general "he" without a specific person will always be god) and how they won't know how to reconcile these conflicting truths. Update: Alright, second half leggo. So, the first thing that strikes me with the second half of the album is just how much sadder it is. It's traded the storms of notos and eurus for a much softer melancholy. It opens with "a kindling, of sorts" which doesn't have much lyrical symbolism but is a wonderful tone setter. Cold is about slowly becoming separated from emotions and more melancholic. About how you don't even notice as you get sadder, and how it eats up and silences the happy things in your life. Also, some good classic oh hellos beating on capitalism. The final stanza is a strengthening of resolve. Finding the will to do something, anything, instead of doing nothing. Lapis Lazuli is about how hard it can be to accept change, and specifically about challenging world views and growing out of harmful ones. It's also about how, even though it sucks, there is beauty in change and the ability to challenge worldviews gives you the ability to "see the blue." Rose is probably my favorite song in the entire album. The first thing I notice is about shrouding of language and how words are used to alter meaning. Then it talks about the hypocrisy of religion, pots and kettles. And than the third thing that jumps out at me is about accepting the pain of love (platonic and otherwise) and yet still seeking it. Understanding that even though it hurts sometimes, and even though you have to be venerable, it still has value. Boreas is a very emotionally resonant song for me. For a bit of context, I have been diagnosed with depression, and this song reads aggresively as a depressive episode. About the monotony of simple tasks, about no longer keeping tidy, about wanting to do something, anything else. The second half of this song is about wanting to leave something behind after you pass, about wanting your life to have value and meaning. Glowing is about rebirth, and finding new meanings. About how things that once had value become paper-thin overtime and overcoming them. It talks about how the old systems have refused to take responsability for their negative aspects and for the harm that they've caused. So, that's all of boreas. A little sad, a little depressing, but hopeful. The album is desperate for a break from monotony, for something to be different, for it's overwhelming melancholy to leave. And than, when suddenly you find the strenth to continue, it feels like rebirth from some kind of dying. Zephyrus is the ending of the cycle, the last of the four winds. It's about questioning if the entire cycle meant anything. Rio Grande is *very* political, very first thing that I notice is the comparison it draws between immigrants crossing the Rio Grande and Moses as a baby in a basket on the Nile. It's about budging just a little bit, and becoming a little bit more accepting of the world. Theseus is about fixing the broken stuff. Things break, rot and decay, grow old and die, and Theseus is about finding value in patching up the broken parts. Things change, and there's beauty in that. Zephyrus is about wanting to find meaning. Ultimately, I think it comes to the conclusion that things matter because they *are*. We are breathing, we are matter, and it matters. Even though it's not the saddest song in the album, Soap is the one that makes me cry the hardest. When I was younger, I struggled hard with suicidal ideation. I thought I had no value, that the world had no value. I no longer feel that way, mainly because of a lot of soul searching and therapy. Soap came out when my mental health was at its worst. This song was the song I listened to when I didn't have the strength to go on. Soap tells us that we are good enough, we have value, our sums and our pieces are enough, and we are worth holding on to. It's the little bit of reassurance that you need to hear sometimes. That even tho the world hurts, it's worth holding on to. It's the conclusion of everything, the meaning the entire album has been searching for. Rounds is the final song in the album, the final peice of the cycle. The cycle continues. It will keep going on until everything ends, there will be ups and downs, but it will keep going. And so, like the four season, the album is a cycle, it loops back to the beginning. So, what does it all mean together? Ultimately, the four winds is about accepting change, challenging the systems we currently live in, and finding meaning in the world. TLDR: you too can be a cottagecore lesbian.

You can say that because you are not in their position, but not everyone can afford to say something so absurdly optimistic without sounding stupid and unrealistic. I'm sorry, but as much as I would like to believe in a man-made earthly heaven I could not do that without sacrificing the superiority of the Biblical picture of heaven and it's implications. Don't be an idealist, want it or not we are subjects of humiliation, some to a light degree, others to an unbearable one. But God hears the voices of the victims, and justice will be given upon the wicked and the unbeliever, and everything will be made new. Sinless bodies, all-new creation, seeing and praising God face to face; that is heaven.

@@The_Mythical_Geek Sorry in advance if this is really long- All the gods are siblings. Notos is the god of Summer, the ocean, and of course The South Wind. They are usually happy, bright and bubbly, but when upset, they can get very angry and/or sad. They the youngest of the siblings. Eurus is the god of Autumn, The mountains and The East Wind. More calm, yet somber and closed off. They are the middle child, being twins with Zephyrus Zephyrus is the god of Spring, The forest/plains and The West Wind. They, much like Eurus, are more calmer, but more joyful and content with everything. Boreas is the god of Winter, The tundras and The North Wind. They are colder, snappy, but with moments of love and gratitude showing through. They are the oldest sibling. They're all mostly good for a while (like thousands of years), kingdoms and followers forming around them. But then one mortal (unnamed for now) decides "hey i want power. i am going to kill the gods" and then he goes on this whole quest and eventually he does, gains their power, and then dies immediately after. (maybe a lesson about how too much power can lead to your demise?) Their souls are all scattered, and while cracked, they all find themselves in different mortal bodies with no previous memory of their god life. The whole place is plunged into war for a long time, around 200 (?) years. Might change that idk. All the kingdoms fight against each other because they don't know who killed the gods. The siblings are all raised in their respective places (Notos, by the sea, Eurus, in the mountains, etc etc) away from each other. Neither one knows of the other sibling's location, or that they even exist. But, even though they have no memory of their (somewhat) immortal lives, they still have vague feelings of each other. Memories they can almost grasp, but it slips out of their fingers again and again. That's the most of what I've come up with for now, but the idea was that they all eventually find each other, stop the war and become gods once again. again, sorry if this was long! hands went brr

I especially like the personalities ascribed to them, I think they really fit both the season and the type of terrain that you assigned them!

i enjoy :D

Love all the biblical theology references in these songs. Didn't notice years ago since I had no idea about it but now that I'm learning about it through the Bible Project, man the lyrics here are so amazing. All the references to Babylon, firmaments, and even other Genesis stories from the cultures around it are very cool. :))))

Cool

my faves: On the mountain tall, passerine

I know these are biblical but I cant help but wa der off to a worth full of elves and worriors

Oddly enough these aren't biblical. According the the group the songs are about losing faith in your religion. Coming to terms with that and trying to figure out which of those beliefs are worth keeping.

Yeah I'd eat these albums

This is obviously country music, but it feels like a specific kind(think of how there's Punk Rock, Heavy Metal Rock etc...). I'm not sure what the specific genre is called, but I've personally called it "campfire country." Songs similar to the ones presented in this video would be Red Hands by Walk Off The Earth and Renegades by X Ambassadors.

@@Jayghopkins I did more research and it seems that Country music is a style of folk music, which would explain my difficulty in distinguishing them. Would you agree that Red Hands by Walk Off The Earth and Renegades by X Ambassadors, fall under Folk music?

@@thevisitor1012 I'd say they more folk inspired. Like folk pop. But they are a similar sound.

NOTOS IS A MASTERPIECE !!! stands for oh hello as powerslave stands fo iron maiden or black album stands for metallica.

Okay, I've been digging deeper to figure out the meanings of their songs because they are like nothing I've ever heard... I take a Biblical/Christian perspective becasue A) that's who I am, and B) that's who they are. Lapis Lazuli - I believe it's talking about the struggle of trying to convey anything from the Bible without being lost in translation, or disconnecting with the person you're talking to. Trying to convey something beautiful (Biblical truths) without using buzzwords and "Christian language" that make it sound high and mighty or ridiculous. People turn away and shut off when you begin reciting scripture directly. So trying to translate concepts into terms they may understand/connect with. The struggle of trying to simplify and make concise without watering down the power of the word of God. When you start rambling on, it can start to sound like made up nonsense to the person you're trying to connect with. Learning to slow down, and let change come naturally. Not trying to race time and make sure they understand all of the Bible NOW. But letting the conversation come organically, consistently over time. It can be an intrusive, uncomfortable process to hear the truth for the first time. It's also about change, and how it can hurt, and it always seems to go too fast or too slow. But it's vital to life and growth, and we need to embrace it. If you hold onto what you know or pretend change isn't happening, you'll miss beautiful new things. Calls back to other songs like Dear Wormwood. It can be an intrusive, uncomfortable process to hear the truth for the first time. Also, remembering that you don't know everything. It's impossible to convey it all, because you miss things. Especially when you're so focused. Remembering to let God open your eyes to see new beauty and truth.

Some of the choruses remind me of Adriano Celentano's song "Prisencolinensinainciusol."

nothing, its supposed to just sound like sending a message into the void, thats what i heard the band said atleast

The music and lyricks surely are great, especially for certain mood.. But after listening to this few times i am starting to think that most songs sound very simillar, same chords/progression/vocal patterns used.. Maybe that's a feature of the janre?

The songs Notos, Eurus, Boreas and Zyphyrus are written from the perspespective of Greek gods of their namesake. If you look at the meanings of their names you"ll realize they're the names of the greek gods of the four winds, Notos is the God of south wind, Eurus is the god of east wind, Boreas is the North wind and Zyphyrus is the god of west wind. The south wind (Notos) brought heat, drought and crop failure to Greece so that is why the song "Notos" is describing destruction and change because it's written from the perspective of the God Noto's himself. Same goes for all the songs Named after the wind Gods. In Zypherus he wants the land to become green again since Zyphyrus was the God of the west wind and it brought good conditions for plant growth to Greece. Boreas was the god North wind and brought cold weather to Greece that's why the song is more melancholy.

Another good artist is xipishi

I wish I could could skip seasonal depression with the same ease as I skip Boreas. (Boreas is still fantastic - I just prefer the other three!)

It sucks that I have to ignore the majority of the community of this band, because I've been listening to them since they released "in the deep, dark valley" and I thoroughly love their music, but whenever I try to find a community for this band it's polluted with dream stans
