I remember being 13 and sitting on my back porch with my mom. It was late spring and finally hot out. We were drinking tea and listening to this. Almost 10 years ago, and my heart aches for that time so bad. Also finding out that Jenny and Shannyn are both part filipina makes it more special bc my mother and I are filipina. This is so near and dear to me. When life is hard, I go to that memory and it's a safe place for me.
I think I was a freshman or sophomore in high school when this song use to come on every morning on VH1 before I got up for school. I was so depressed lol.
+TheCloudsandTheSkies I have only discovered this band 8 or 9 minutes ago, the length of time it took for Elephants and this to run, and well, I'm not gonna say I'm an instant fan, but at least they've caught my attention so far.
Your brown eyes are my blue skies They light up the rivers that the birds fly over Better not to quench your thirst Better not to be the first one diving in Though you caught me and you know why You breathe in the deepest part of the water [Chorus] What’s the matter? You hurt yourself? Opened your eyes and there was someone else? Now I’ve got you in the undertow Now I’ve got you in the undertow Why you wanna blame me for your troubles? Ah ah ah you better learn your lesson yourself Nobody ever has to find out what’s in my mind tonight [Verse 2] Let tonight pass us by Do you really want to be the one to fight? And I said, “You’re better not to light that fire It will take you to the darkest part of the weather” [Chorus] What’s the matter? You hurt yourself? Opened your eyes and there was someone else? Now I’ve got you in the undertow Now I’ve got you in the undertow Why you wanna blame me for your troubles? Ah ah ah you better learn your lesson yourself Nobody ever has to find out what’s in my mind tonight Nobody ever has to find out what’s in my mind tonight Nobody in my mind, nobody in my mind I feel it in my heart tonight [Bridge] I lay on the floor, pressing in my eyes Seeing little lights Please light these decisions that only one could make I wanted to stay home but I went Running running running running from the troubles Running running running running from the troubles Running running running running from the troubles Running running running... What’s the matter? You hurt yourself? Opened your eyes and there was someone else? Now I’ve got you in the undertow Now I’ve got you so Why you wanna blame me for your troubles? Ah ah ah you better learn your lesson yourself Nobody ever has to find out what’s in my mind tonight I went running running running running from the troubles Running running running... Running running running running from the troubles Running running running...
Just like many others, I have only discovered this group of beautiful young ladies and their wonderful music this week. I was at a used record store and the cashier put a Warpaint LP on the stores sound system. That's what I took home. Every song on this album is a wonderful piece of work!
This song reminds me of Polly by Nirvana - “you hurt yourself”, and Marlene on the Wall by Susanne Vega. Googled it and it turns out Undertow is the name of a Susanne Vega album.
"Undertow" is the title of songs used by many others, namely progressive rock from the likes of Genesis and Pain of Salvation. Although Suzanne Vega I enjoy.. Nirvana?..blech.
Video Director did a marvelous job, I don't know how the hell did she get that amazing contrast and filtered look...but I'm now officially a fan..if anyone knows any other videos this Shannyn Sossamon person done in the past, please forward
Saw this band play again last nite in Boston, about 3 months ago they played to about 100 people, this time there were close to 1250 at the Paradise. It's about time people recognize talent...
This song is so addictive. Found out about it yesterday and I can´t stop listening. Such beautiful lyrics and the way they sing... *love struck* ! More Warpaint, please :-)
I really love singing, "Better not to quench your thirst, better not to be the first one diving in..." "What's a matter? You hurt yourself..." Oh, man. This song sounds really sexy.
Real music with complete substance. Love this band along with other true artists like PJ Harvey, Bjork, The XX, Massive Attack, Radiohead, Saul Willaims, Portishead, Nine, Ghostpoet,Tricky, Allflaws
I have fallen completely in love with this song. It reminds me of being a really lonely little girl. It's unearthing some pretty horrible memories, but it's good. Thanks Warpaint. X
For me there is nothing not to understand in this video. Childhood memories, that age when childhood ends. You fall in love but are not so sure what to do about it. It just seems like very strange form of friendship and attraction. Beautiful strong emotions, but our age places us far from that, on the other side of the door. We can have it just like a memory and understand it when we see other kids going through something similar. Like in this video.
I think it's about two childhood friends who start developing romantic feelings for each other as they get older and all the confusion and emotion that comes from that
Wonderful simplicity in it's rythym, chord structure and vocal harmonies. This song just shimmers. The lady's are keeping alt/indie rock going strong: Warpaint, Land of Talk, Metric, Feist, etc. Time for the guys to step up their game--been laying low for too long.
Conheci essa música através da série Life&Beth, no episódio em que ela dá o primeiro beijo, memórias preciosas e delicadas...fui capturada por essa canção imediatamente, que música linda, que vozes! A série tem músicas incríveis e é maravilhosa também, quando duas coisas se encontram sendo boas é tão raro, depois de uma certa idade nada mais nos apaixona assim.
Yes I made it :) got to see them in Leeds. would have enjoyed it a lot more if a guy dressed for mountain climbing hadn't decided to stand in front of me !!
