It’s official: I have found my new break up album. Noah and The Whale’s sophomore album to their successful indie album Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down, The First Days of Spring is so much more monumental since it’s the final album with lead singer Charlie Fink. The album as a whole departs from their much-beloved single upbeat “Five Years Time” to a more grand, dramatic sound.

Including a full on orchestra, the album is a narrative that follows a break up and continues with the days, even months, after. “It’s the first day of spring / And my life is starting over again … For I do believe that everyone has one chance to fuck up their lives / But like a cut down tree, I will rise again/And I’ll be bigger and stronger than ever before.” As a beautiful running metaphor for life and relationships in general, The First Days of Spring delivers a beautiful and haunting look on your own life. Better put by Fink himself in “Blue Skies,” “This is a song for anyone with a broken heart … This is the last song that I write while still in love with you / ’Cause it’s time to leave those feelings behind.”
