Got the Flac and also Audio Technica R-70x headphones with a good amp. But I came here to get the link to send to my mates. Some have better headphones ... some worse. I still spread the love!
I will let Moses explain in his own words, the meaning of the song (taken from the podcast, Song Exploder): “I was thinking about the distance between people of different social groups. The song is about power. And it’s about two people in a relationship who are from different backgrounds and so that could either be race or class or gender. Looking back in my life at relationships that I had had with people from different backgrounds who saw us as equals and who didn’t realize that in the broader scope of the world, their perspective was appreciated on a wider scale, shared on a wider scale, and elevated, and so they were coming from to the table with a social power that they were discounting in the personal relationship. So this song essentially, “Quarrel” is about the idea that you can’t call a disagreement between two people simply a lover’s quarrel because that would imply that they are equals and you have to recognize that we’re not. No two people come from the same background. And so the lyrics in the pre-chorus, “with you half the battle is proving we are at war. I would give my life just for the privilege to ignore.” You know, just trying to get you to realize there’s an issue here, that goes beyond you and me. And so if you have two people in a relationship and one person comes from the group that holds the most social power in society, they have to account for that privilege, in that relationship, or recognize that it ain’t going to work out.”
....Thank you...Your comment resonated with my soul and vibrated with my mind on a spiritual and mental level of intellectual truth. It assisted in imparting wisdom to me concerning such delicate matters of agony,simplicity and beauty all at the same time...It's much appreciated...That's all...Shalom
I'm 36 years old. After only 12 seconds of this song, I was like "wow! I can already feel this is gonna be genius!" and it's only the second time in my life I react like this. Discovering Björk (wich you graciously covered) was my first time and it was 25 years ago. Please follow your own journey through the magical power of music. You truely have a healing voice, Moses! Greetings from Belgium.
Who would of thought this song addressed humanity and racism. Wow. Just read the lyrics! Jesus this song is out of this world lyrically and sonically it moves neurons in a way that forces them to work in synergy. Pain, anger, hate, and love all move peacefully with this song in the brain. So calming.
The horns at 1:34 make me melt. Such a perfect swell and well executed slide. Crazy talented musicians on this track, including the man himself, Thundercat!
I realize that moses makes wonderful masterpiece s. I would say he can be one of the greats of our generation. BUT this man probably works normal job like everyone else, while makig music; despite the fact that his songs have been featured in some shows. And his music is talked about among many big celebritys. He needs to be known, and his message needs to be spread. He deserves alot. No ones music has me feel so intune with the universe, or make me think about my existence like this. We ARE HERE FOR THIS COME UP
He's touring internationally as a solo performer and has been backing up artists like Sufjan Stevens and David Byrne for years, I think its safe to say he's earning a living from music.
First I've heard of Moses Sumney. Smooth soulful vocals with a sumptuous, spacious, intricate arrangement. Beautiful, creative and nuanced. Thank you Moses.
I was watching the Swan Song...and its the beginning and I just hear a beautiful falsetto and then the subtle transition to chest voice and it felt like I was floating but something was taking me away deep into something. Your VOICE is BEAUTIFUL...ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS
Creo que soy el único comentario en español pero realmente esa combinación de sintetizadores, arpas, trombones y coros es simplemente mágica 🌎🍃 Moses Sumney puto genio 🔥 La escucho todos los perros días & es de esas piezas imprecindibles de mi playlist 👽
Ooh Ooh He who asks for much Don't call it a Lovers' Quarrel Has much to give I don't ask for much Just enough to live But, ooh, in the light Morning will reveal the spoils of night Through the walls of Jericho, ooh ooh ooh ooh Lies a heart of stone With you, half the battle Is proving that we're at war I would give my life just for the privilege to ignore Don't call it a Lovers' Quarrel Don't call it a Lovers' Quarrel Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh To whom much is given Much is required Luxurious liver You never inquire, oh oh It ain't right, you see, oh oh Who is your family? If I don't have tools to fight Calling this a quarrel isn't right Quoting this a quarrel So immorally implies We're equal opponents And we both antagonize Don't call it a Lovers' Quarrel Don't call it a Lovers' Quarrel, oh oh oh Don't call it a Lovers' Quarrel Don't call it a Lovers' Quarrel Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh We cannot be lovers 'Cause I am the other We cannot be lovers Long as I'm the other Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh Ooh
An artist's artist, without a shadow of doubt. Praying that he makes it HUGE, and never sells his soul, nor disregards his own distinctive sound, for the big bucks...
and these lyricssss are deep! any oppressed group knows howit feels to constantly be bombarded with false equivalences, but indeed we dont both antagonize. sometimes wrong and wrong and it isnt bc we are both playing a part in the problem when all i wanna do is live.
Love that Black Radio style coda. I have no doubt however that it's all just coming from Moses. Any similarities to other artists is probably coincidental.
The song doesn't let you get away...Irresistible...Butter Biscuits Honey ... Physical Effects From Spirit Depths ... The Human Being Is God. #DeepGratitudeForBringItForwardYoungGod #CreaturesOfSound
For some random reason this song makes me think about how un important my tiny life is in this huge planet and how my problems don't matter at all compared to others and how i should start being less selfish and more selfless
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh He who asks for much Has much to give I don't ask for much Just enough to live Ooh, in the light Morning will reveal the spoils of night Through the walls of Jericho Ooh-ooh, lies a heart of stone With you, half the battle is proving that we're at war I would give my life just for the privilege to ignore Don't call it a lovers' quarrel Don't call it a lovers' quarrel To whom much is given Much is required Luxurious liver You never inquire Ooh, it ain't right, you see, yeah Who is your family?

Anyone else get a Radiohead vibe? Like if radiohead were into soul or RnB, their music would totally sounds like this. Anyway, i really love this track
In the podcast Song Exploder he talks about Radiohead being an inspiration and discussing it with the person who produced the song! I'd recommend checking it out.
Radiohead and Joanna Newsom. Funnily enough I discovered him after months of listening to those two artists almost exclusively, found him and thought wow, this guy is absolutely great. Come to find out a bit later, he says those two artists inspired him a lot when making this album.
Yeeesss i love his music incrediblely unique just amazing in every way he reminds me of bilal i love him i was a fan as so in as i heard him sing just incredible
can I ask what genre this is? I'm so inlove with moses sumney. his songs is like a drugs. it became my addiction. I can't even sleep without listening to his songs. 💕

This song makes me grateful I can afford good headphones. If golden sunshine became music.
Ann Kokkoris lol
Ann Kokkoris good for you
Good headphones don't mean a thing if you're listening from youtube
Try getting a flac
HD is not bad
Got the Flac and also Audio Technica R-70x headphones with a good amp. But I came here to get the link to send to my mates. Some have better headphones ... some worse. I still spread the love!

Why can't we have more of this and less of not this?
exactly
Amen
Because he who asks for much has much to give
I'm 36 years old. After only 12 seconds of this song, I was like "wow! I can already feel this is gonna be genius!" and it's only the second time in my life I react like this.
Discovering Björk (wich you graciously covered) was my first time and it was 25 years ago.
Please follow your own journey through the magical power of music.
You truely have a healing voice, Moses!
Greetings from Belgium.
Have you heard his acoustic cover of Bjork? th-cam.com/video/unjUuTT7uYw/w-d-xo.html
funny, i had the exact same journey through the Come to me cover being recommended on TH-cam and i`m glad the algorithm still works out still 🙏
Bjork is the goat , finally going to watch her this year , HYPED

Such a beautifully produced song. The visuals are also so complimentary.
The horns at 1:34 make me melt. Such a perfect swell and well executed slide. Crazy talented musicians on this track, including the man himself, Thundercat!
Everett Jefferson the musical arrangement is DOPE!!! Did this dude really pull out a steelpan???
Swan Song brought me here. So glad I found this.
His voice controls music as if it depends on him.
Right... Exactly what I was thinkiiing
Beautifully put.
Ehh I'm lost for words. This song really touched me. I'm just in awe at this moment.
Well said! Present and in the moment.

most beautiful thing ive heard in ages
First I've heard of Moses Sumney. Smooth soulful vocals with a sumptuous, spacious, intricate arrangement. Beautiful, creative and nuanced. Thank you Moses.
What a gift to my ears.
I'm surprised this guy isn't more popular
This song is transcendent. I was at work stressing over deadlines when I heard it. It helped to detoxify my spirit and lightened my burden.
I was watching the Swan Song...and its the beginning and I just hear a beautiful falsetto and then the subtle transition to chest voice and it felt like I was floating but something was taking me away deep into something. Your VOICE is BEAUTIFUL...ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS
That Stevie Wonder keyboard vibe after the 5 minute mark....delicious...
Utterly breathtaking.

Beautiful peaceful 🥰 song...I will go back in time and different dimensions with this
This song is WONDERFUL! One of the prettiest I’ve ever heard.
Ooh
Ooh
He who asks for much
Don't call it a Lovers' Quarrel
Has much to give
I don't ask for much
Just enough to live
But, ooh, in the light
Morning will reveal the spoils of night
Through the walls of Jericho, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Lies a heart of stone
With you, half the battle
Is proving that we're at war
I would give my life just for the privilege to ignore
Don't call it a Lovers' Quarrel
Don't call it a Lovers' Quarrel
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh
To whom much is given
Much is required
Luxurious liver
You never inquire, oh oh
It ain't right, you see, oh oh
Who is your family?
If I don't have tools to fight
Calling this a quarrel isn't right
Quoting this a quarrel
So immorally implies
We're equal opponents
And we both antagonize
Don't call it a Lovers' Quarrel
Don't call it a Lovers' Quarrel, oh oh oh
Don't call it a Lovers' Quarrel
Don't call it a Lovers' Quarrel
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh
We cannot be lovers
'Cause I am the other
We cannot be lovers
Long as I'm the other
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh

I'm not so sure what to feels when I hear this song.. too beautiful.
and these lyricssss are deep! any oppressed group knows howit feels to constantly be bombarded with false equivalences, but indeed we dont both antagonize. sometimes wrong and wrong and it isnt bc we are both playing a part in the problem when all i wanna do is live.

Black Lighting brought me here. Incredible talent 👏 🙌 👌
the music fills my insides and lifts me to the clouds. oh yes! i am high on audial nirvana right now.
This is such a gem!
I wonder why he isn't more famous...
The outro is splendid.
His voice make my heart melting
The new season of Black Lighting brought me here and its 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. #quarrel
The second half of this song is just so perfect! wish it was longer
For some random reason this song makes me think about how un important my tiny life is in this huge planet and how my problems don't matter at all compared to others and how i should start being less selfish and more selfless
Omg this is amazing man I love it!! ♥ your music is beautiful
So grateful that he is keeping the art of synchronicity alive and powerfully so. Truly moving this takes me out the frame
a gorgeous listen this was
I get chills...
This is probably one of the most sonically perfect pieces of artistry ever put together. Patricia Barber you stepped out of a dream on steroids.
Yes! So beautiful.
A piece of art. I love it more than I could say.
Voz e interpretação adoráveis. Linda melodia e arranjo.
His NPR performance is incredible! Watch it! Now!
This feels like a tidal wave of pleasure beaching in the darkest depths of my soul, washing me clean.
Okolo Edwin this feels like a very cringey comment
Not the place for twelvies plz
Yeah, me too! :)
You eloquently described my experience.
AMEN

Don't call it a lovers' quarreling
thank you so much
I love his voice.

Anyone else get a Radiohead vibe? Like if radiohead were into soul or RnB, their music would totally sounds like this. Anyway, i really love this track
Ok, so after scrolling the comments section looks like im not the only one 😂
Sounds a lot like "nude"
So glad I'm not the only one.
