Wolf Parade - What Did My Lover Say? (It Always Had To Go This Way) 

11 years later and I still can’t get enough of this album

For us old who misunderstood but have the utmost love and appreciation for its never having to say I'm sorry "it always has to happen this way "? Is the shame we bare in our hearts forever!!

What did my lover say when she was driving with you? I could not see her face from my new bed. I don't think I should be sorry for things I do in dreams. Just let the tumbling birds come tumbling down. I've got a sandcastle heart made out of fine, black sand. Sometimes it turns into glass when shit gets hot. I wonder if all the beaches in all your holiday towns will turn to giant shining earrings against the cheek of the sea when, finally, this supernova goes down. Just like my love said, say, "It always had to go this way". I sleep all night with the light on and dream about the sun maybe because of the light, maybe because of the sun. I've got a friend who's a genius, Nobody listens to him. I've got some friends that got famous: la la la la la. I don't think I should say sorry for things I do in dreams. Some people live like they're falling, Some people die in their sleep. "It always had to go this way."

just got home from seeing them live!

Favorite song on the album. The guitar is fucking epic. "Some people live like they're falling...some people die in their sleep!"

Like Bowie, like the bravery, like the strokes, like really really good !!

I have it at 320kbps and it sounds amazing. Hearing all the instruments is mind blowing.

Amazing band!

"I opened the window and the fly flew in like there was more room in here than there was outside. It wasn't any cooler in here than in the shade outside. I cry when I cried." ,dan'

That chorus is sick!

just awesome song

@DrBreakfastMachine The complexities of the cinematography in this video is truly the work of a master of his craft!!

YOU GUYS SHOULD HEAR THIS SHIT IN HD, so amazing.

best band, best song

"Tackle catches a fish, and depending on the defense can be applicable to any position in football." ,dan'

@biggles132 I agree with you. I'm a huge fan of Big Country. They were absolutely underrated, but today many groups are using their sound. However I love also Wolf Parade. They are great, especially in concert.

@basehead617 So true, has a real Cure/Bowie feel. Love it. Restores my faith in the musicians of this era.

sounds great

so good.

Carpenter’s Gothic is a novel about William Gaddis. The science fiancée writer.

"Merry Nightmares. May disfunction not haunt you with happiness or unpoveriscousness." ,dan'

gorgeous

can't wait for this album!

The guitars sound like the sort of thing Big Country were doing in their day.

reminds me a little bit of Bowie awesome song

diggin this song!

"It takes 100 days to make a friend otherwise you're desperate and invitational." ,dan'

@leonardowp Big Country are my all time favourite band. I thought it may have just been me but I hear their guitars in so many bands lately. Wolf Parade are great.

thanks!

Damn this video is so deep, it is what it is.

the howlin voices of Mr Spencer ! ;)

@JayFroFive So sorry, JFF. I believe they're playing at First Ave. If it makes you feel any better I got kicked out of First Ave last year during the opening act for CSS and The Go! Team. I was a minor, as was the girl I was with, but she had a fake and kept slipping me unsolicited drinks which eventually got us both kicked out. No CSS. No Go! Team. Not a glimpse. It blew. Feel better. Glad you dig this song. MPLS! B\

"When it looks as though it appears that I am retreating, I am actually trying to diffuse your third eye." ,dan'

@DrBreakfastMachine and the other half of the majority are people complaining about people saying there's no video. Well done genius.

Much better video in 480p!!!!!!!

nice

"No respect for the dreamworld, no respect for the afterlife." ,dan'

@SDRElp I dont know how you can say that man, one of the most original bands out there.

"And he hears, sees, and they talk it through carefully.",dan'

I've got a friend who's a genius. Nobody listens to him. I've got some friends who are famous... Sha la la la la la la la.

I thought that the sentence "not the video" was about "it always had to go this way"

"Learn to be dead." ,dan'

some people live like they're falling , some people die in theyre sleep.

This is a perfect song. B\

that's a great video, the still motion is amazing

@JayFroFive man that blows. you'd be a good campaigner for no drinking advertisement: "If you drink you miss Wolf Parade concerts. and NO ONE wants that".

i don't know why i also hear some Cure in this too, of the mid 80s variety

I clicked on this video and though, "gee, the video for this song is a little bland, being only a still image." Luckily I then read the full title which clarified that it's not, in fact, the video, and it all made sense.

"Climb into the cracks that make forever's knot forever not." ,dan' (we got Satan in a noose over here. What'd you say you got over there that is more important)!?

what was the budget for this music video?

@jiniton what video? its just a pic...

"If you don't need to feel sorrow for a dream than another may not feel pride's certainty eternally for theirs but just so long as you want to be a bitch then go ahead Spencer." ,dan' (silence isn't only for the virtuoso anymore)

"Fight me but be as capable at the arts as I am and I think you'll find I'll kill all you dudes until I get to Carey Mercer." ,dan'

Dan Boeckner was swallowed by Ali the alligator while he was out in the swamp trying to learn guitar parts for Wynn Butler.

its a one picture video

Howard Bilerman thumbs up.

@UNSUBSCRIBING Who care about a vid if you got a kick ass song?

"Wolfparade meets Deerhoof." ,dan' (so far as good ideas go I got the best ones and you need to shut up because humble takes as long as it needs)

@UNSUBSCRIBING They resurrected Andre Bazin for this one.

this sounds cool (not the video)

damn, this song is cool...gotta say though, the video is just a little bit boring

so good.
