of Montreal is an indie pop band which formed in Athens, Georgia, United States in 1997. The band is fronted by Kevin Barnes, who writes, composes, and plays most of the music for his albums.
They were among the second wave of groups to emerge from The Elephant 6 Recording Company and the group has a style that is typical of many Elephant 6 bands due to their interest in combining musical experimentation with the basic tenets of pop i.e. catchy melodies and sing-along choruses.

B When I met you I was just a kid E hadn’t built up my defenses B so I gave my heart completely E vaseline over the lenses C#m memories don’t go away F# I remember every day
BE I never ever stop wondering BE Wondering if you still think of us BE I don’t need a photograph C#mF# cause you’ve never left my mind C#mF# No you’ve never left my mind
I remember feeling like a ship whose captain was too drunk to steer and you watched as I was sinking waving sadly from the pier
C#m It’s such a burden to carry ’round EB the vestiges of dead dreams C#m and I don’t want to make a wake out of my life F# I just had to let you go
