“To learn what kept us together, is what kept us alive.” Great lyric if we can learn to live with someone else, we should be able to live with one’s self in the end
*patiently waiting for lyrics guy* Fine, here it is: Baby, I love you But that is not enough Pulling away is being unbearably buff I ran up the mountain Out of your sight Snow peak was just unbearably white The city was freezing An elegant flow The wind at the doorway was unbearably cold You walked to the bedroom And sat down to write The page of your notebook was unbearably white There's an avalanche coming Don't cover your eyes It's what you thought that you wanted It's still a surprise It's hard on the body It's hard on the mind To learn what kept us together, darling Is what kept us alive Sooner or later The story gets told To tell it myself would be unbearably bold Presented with darkness Return to the light Could've been smart, but just unbearably bright There's an avalanche coming Don't cover your eyes It's what you thought that you wanted It's still a surprise It's hard on the body It's hard on the mind To learn what kept us together, darling Is what kept us alive Called it a day Called it a night Callous and cold And just unbearably white Called it a day Called it a night Callous and cold And just unbearably white Called it a day Called it a night Callous and cold And just unbearably white Baby, I love you But that is not enough And pulling away has been unbearably buff I ran up the mountain Out of your sight Snow peak was just unbearably white Called it a day Called it a night Callous and cold And just unbearably white
There can't be anything better than waking up at 11 in the afternoon to two new vampire weekend songs and a warm day of just hanging out with friends feeling like kids again.
All of them are great, but Harmony Hall is honestly still my favorite. This is coming from someone who has been a fan since around the time Contra came out.
Lovely! I also define or have a season vibe for music. For me it is: Vampire Weekend = Spring Contra = Summer Modern Vampires of the City = Winter (but I can actually listen to it all year round) Father of the Bride = Spring/Summer
@@chunkywillo5392 So I guess Vampire Weekend is Summer (big summer vibes from the guitars), Contra is Winter (already mentioned), MVOTC is Fall (idk honestly), and Father of the Bride is Spring (sunflower, spring snow, release date of early May)
It's criminal a song this amazing song only sits at 1.4m views. It could be a 5 minute long loop of just the guitar part and I'd I'd still listen to this daily. Take note people who keep using "underrated" wrong. This is an example of legitimately underrated.
one of those things where the colored lettering on the unbearably white background stays there for a second after it goes away. Bravo Vampire Weekend, bravo.
Love when artists put extra creativity into the videos for their singles that aren't actual music videos. Those little ski bois really tie this thing together and drive in the straight white cover.
I've been listening to this album on repeat since it came out, this is one of my favorites from it, this was the track that made me realize Erza had to be the brains of this group from the start.
I just listened to them at the Hollywood Bowl and when I heard 1:13 live for the first time I had goosebumps that never ended and teared up to a beautiful part of the music.
Verse 1] Baby, I love you But that's not enough And pulling away has been unbearably buff I ran up the mountain Out of your sight The snow on the peak was just unbearably white The city was freezing An elegant flow The wind at the doorway was unbearably cold You walked to the bedroom And sat down to write The page in your notebook was unbearably white [Chorus] There's an avalanche coming Don't cover your eyes It's what you thought that you wanted It's still a surprise It's hard on the body It's hard on the mind To learn what kept us together, darling Is what kept us alive [Verse 2] Sooner or later The story gets told To tell it myself would be unbearably bold Presented with darkness We turn to the light Could've been smart, we're just unbearably bright [Chorus] There's an avalanche coming Don't cover your eyes It's what you thought that you wanted It's still a surprise It's hard on the body It's hard on the mind To learn what kept us together, darling Is what kept us alive [Bridge] Call it a day Call it a night Calloused and cold And just unbearably white Call it a day Call it a night Calloused and cold And just unbearably white Call it a day Call it a night Calloused and cold And just unbearably white [Verse 3] Baby, I love you But that's not enough And pulling away has been unbearably rough I ran up the mountain Out of your sight The snow on the peak was just unbearably white [Outro] Call it a day Call it a night Careless and cold And just unbearably white Call it a day Call it a night
@@Aaron-vr4yr Ezra acknowledged that the song is derived from "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unbearable_Lightness_of_Being
@@Aaron-vr4yr The irony of her celebrating Heems...who I liked until he dropped a homophobic verse. Obviously to her that's fine for a minority to do, to oppress a minority like me? And MIA's politics are really problematic. I say that as a fan, but she's fine with excusing terrorism, even though I think there is just cause there, that is not good.
@@Aaron-vr4yr also putting an American 10's lens re: racism over Belle and Sebastian's Scottish/UK very 70's-80's based work is all kinds of wrong. That band references a very different time, and also culture and place. I don't think dropping desi beats and going reggae would really suit their schtick! And would be appropriation. So people cannot talk about their own worlds? I thought that was the key thing about rap or artists, they talk about their own experiences, rather than pretend it was all multicultural and mixed, while Scotland has less apartheid/segregation than the US it also very white back then, and still is mostly.
Amazing! Rainbow Rowell’s best book in my opinion. It’s set in the US in 1986, and Eleanor and Park sit next to each other on the bus and slowly fall in love. The writing is beautiful (so much so that I’ve gone over my favourite quotes with a rainbow highlighter!) and is written so that it feels real, and imperfect, and full of confusion since they are still only 16. I’ve read it multiple times now, and I love it so so much. I could go on about it forever but I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up (in case it’s not their cup of tea) and I think it’s best read not knowing too much about it. I got it for Christmas a few years ago and I remember just sitting by the fireplace for hours, just curled up and reading this book.
I love that, I laughed out loud. I just picture the whole band and the audience doing some kind of synchronized movement together. Such a cool use of the 'Orchestra Hit' sample, it's like the Wilhelm scream of music lol.
I found this song by coincidence, and now I put it on an endless loop. Unbearably joyful to join yalls never-ending weekend parties, vampire band! you have a new fan.
