The Microphones foram uma banda lo-fi de Olympia, Washington e tinha como líder Phil Elvrum.
Em 2004, Elvrum anunciou que o nome The Microphones seria mudado para Mount Eerie. No entanto, no final de 2006, lançou um single utilizando o nome antigo da banda "Two Songs" dos The Microphones, causando confusão se o nome seria readotado ou não.
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!
FAm I thought I felt your shape but I was wrong DmG Really all I felt was falsely strong FAm I held on tight and closed my eyes DmG It was dumb I had no sense of your size
AmG It was dumb to hold so tight FC La da da But last night
FAm On your birthday in the kitchen DmG My grip was loose my eyes were open AmF I felt your shape and heard you breathing DmG I felt the rise and fall of your chest
AmG I felt your fall your winter snows FC Your gusty blows your lava flows AmG I felt it all your starry night FC Your lack of light with limp arms Am I could feel most of you
DmG I hung around your neck independently FAm And my loss was overwhelmed DmG By this new depth I don't think I've ever felt
AmF But I don't know my nights are cold AmG I remember warmth I would have sworn F I wasn't alone
