Cover art for The Movement of a Hand lyrics by Bright Eyes

The road has made a vacuum where our voices used to be. Understanding seems inaudible, for Conor never writes of speaking at all in this song. It seems all very centered around clarity.. Soon all the joy that pours from everything makes fountains of your eyes because you finally understand the movement of a hand waving you good-bye. That for every good bye, there's a hello to some new aspect of life, and this joy and optimism found in new experiences is so overwhelming, yet welcome.
