Biografia:
Okkervil River é um grupo de folk formado por amigos de segundo grau em Meriden. Após cada um tomar sua direção para a faculdade, todos se mudaram para a cidade de Austin, no Texas, para morarem juntos e formarem a banda. A formação incial contém o compositor Will Sheff, o baixista e bandolinista Zach Thomas e o baterista Seth Warren. Na banda em que a guitarra lidera o som e possui elementos perdidos do pop, há, na voz doce e suave de Will Sheff, letras sobre barcos, livros, referências a artistas como David Bowie e R.

Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
G
We need a myth
Bm
We need an amethyst bridge
Em
We need a high hanging cliff
Jump, fall and lift
C
We can make it
But we need a myth
We need a path through the mist
Like in our beds, we were just kids
Like what was said by our parents
G#m
A myth
C#
'Cause what we're after is just this
A myth
'Cause what we're after is just this
A
We need a myth
C#m
I feel my heart's like a fist
F#m
Words spilling out of the blessed lips
D
Of any prophet or goddess
I need a myth
Brought back to life by a kiss
Scrape away grey cement
Show me the world as it was again
As it was in a myth
A red ribbon to reconnect
The lady's head to her neck
And to forget that her throat was ever slit
Bb
'Cause what we're after is just this
Eb
It's a myth
'Cause what we're after is just this
G#m F# E
And I'm sick of all these picture books that try
To steal some old reflections for their light
But desperate measures point to desperate times
F#
And that's why
We need a myth
B Ebm G#m E
(Instrumental)
B
We're cut adrift
Ebm
We need a mass uplift
G#m
The world is trembling and weeping
E
Just at the point of believing
In a myth
The sun that shines on my head
The moon that lights me to bed
Were two identical twins
Inside of a myth
I heard the voice of a friend
On Lethe's banks, wading in
And he said, "Before I forget...”
C#
We need a myth
Fm
As we lean in to kiss
Bbm
To get two nails through the wrist
F#
To get covered in blood
And to get covered in spit
C#
And to forgive
And if all we're taught is a trick
Why would this feeling persist?
And with the truth closing in
I must insist
We need a myth
--------------------------
As the song progresses, they use barre chords further up the neck; for example, even
though the last set of chords has an F-minor in it, you'll want to do it at the 7th fret
instead of the 1st if you want to be as accurate as possible.
