Feel like this is a spiritual message from the heavens 🙏 Im a capricorn into astology loosing my mum was the hardest pain to suffer. My mum loved cat stephens and this definetly sounds like something he would have written absolouley beautiful song ❤ thankyou
@Deathstroke-zm4vt Great interpretation. Actually in an interview, Ezra explains that he is not into astrology but wondered what astrology sign is at the very end of December because those people don't really get to be in their year for very long, hence "the year that you were born finished fast and the next one wasn't yours". But what's funny is that most of the Capricorn sun sign falls in January and it it the exact opposite for them, to those Capricorns, the year that they were born will not finish fast.
Would you rather people perceive you as being kind, smart or attractive?
Kind.
Useful
@@danieltodd9038 To get used often ey?
Kind
i dont want to be perceived.
As a Caprisun. I highly approve this song
I'm transported back to the 90's. I think it was a magical decade for music and I'm glad these guys are bringing it back.
So far, rock song of the year
It's not rocket for godsake
Beautiful song
Hauntingly beautiful..
Lyrics: Vampire Weekend - Capricorn
0:01 Verse 1
Can't reach the moon now
Can't turn the tide
The world looked different
When God was on your side
Who builds the future?
Do they care why?
I know you're tired of tryin'
Listen clearly, you don't have to try
0:29 Chorus
Capricorn
The year that you were born
Finished fast
And the next one wasn't yours
Too old for dyin' young
Too young to live alone
Sifting through centuries
For moments of your own
1:23 Verse 2
Alone and wounded
But in my prime
I called the hospital
They didn't have the time
I'd seen it comin'
It's no surprise
I know you're tired of tryin'
Listen clearly, you don't have to try
1:51 Chorus
Capricorn
The year that you were born
Finished fast
And the next one wasn't yours
Too old for dyin' young
Too young to live alone
Sifting through centuries
For moments of your own
2:46 Verse 3
A hundred dollars
On someone's dime
I looked for answers there
They weren't mine to find
Good days are comin'
Not just to die
I know you're tired of tryin'
Listen, baby, you don't have to try
3:13 Chorus
Capricorn
The year that you were born
Finished fast
And the next one wasn't yours
Too old for dyin' young
Too young to live alone
Sifting through centuries
For moments of your own
3:40 Outro
Capricorn
The year that you were born
Finished fast
And the next one wasn't yours
Too old for dyin' young
Too young to live alone
Sifting through centuries
For moments of your own
Feel like this is a spiritual message from the heavens 🙏

CLASS
Yes the year has one more day in it after my birthday
Drummer is doing Ringo Starr
What is the meaning behind the words? I heard it once and liked it !!
I'm a Capricorn.
❤
Me too
Found it.
What do you think he means by Capricorn being a "year"
