I lost my dad a month ago, I've loved this song since I first heard it. But it's hitting much closer to home right now. I can feel my dads disappointment, while also knowing he loved me regardless of my faults. I feel my own personal regrets, and a will to make him proud. At the same time I feel lost, despite losing my dad, I still cant change my habits or addictions, and I feel like I'm still disappointing him. If all that seems contradictory, it is. It's the grief of losing a parent. And I'm still working through it. I wish everyone the best, I love you all.
Gah. The rhyme scheme in this is so beautifully constructed and so magical and understated...... a master songwriter at the top of her game ... a perfect song
@@geraniumblue hmmm may be just a little too much 'drama' at the climax, to fall asleep to... but im' a light sleeper :) def! a sweet song, for any child to have written about them. esme inspires more t(s)wirling than sleeping for me..
If I have the space of half a day, I'm ashamed of half the things I say. I'm ashamed to have turned out this way, and I desire to make amends. But it don't make no difference, now, and no-one's listening, anyhow, and lists of sins and solemn vows don't make you any friends. There's an old trick played, when the light and the wine conspire to make me think I'm fine. I'm not, but I have got half a mind to maybe get there, yet. When the sky goes pink in Paris, France, do you think of the girl who used to dance when you'd frame her moving within your hands, saying This I won't forget? What happened to the man you were, when you loved somebody before her? Did he die? Or does that man endure, somewhere far away? Our lives come easy and our lives come hard. And we carry them like a pack of cards: some we don't use, but we don't discard, but keep for a rainy day.
my version of divers has snippets of "dj aaron ellis" and david bryne saying "im a government man" and i just spent an hour downloading a different version that ended up being ITAOTS
+Mike9201984 I understand that she is unsaying the things she said (remember the begining "If I have the space of half a day, I'm ashamed of half the things I say")
+Mike9201984 I like that, fluffytufts. Also, I think she's playing with the chiastic, circular structure of the album. The last song ends with 'trans,' the first song begins with 'sending,' making the word transcending, and forming a loop. Also, track 11 mimics track 1 in theme, track 10 mimics track 2, etc etc, leaving this song, track six, in the middle, with no sparring partner. Thus, in a sense, the weird feedback, turning back on itself, forms the albums only real end, right in the middle of the album. But also, it is the opposite of an end, simply reversing time and beginning to go backward. This fits with her musings on time's unknowableness, and subjectivity, and even reversability throughout the album.
Sometimes I think that we overthink her albums(although this song is clearly amazing). But if she has thought of that, and make those decitions when structuring the album, she is a genius indeed.

I've had this song in my playlist for years, almost a decade. Now I'm 23, in Paris, alone, crying to this unexpectedly.
I’m 22 and living in Brittany, I’m glad I saw this comment. Hope you’re doing well

my heart
this album has healed me in so many ways, this song and Anecdotes in particular
joe a agree
Wow. This was beautiful, like painfully beautiful.
"im ashamed of half the things i say" really got me
This song is so beautiful
My Aunt died yesterday, and I didn't really know how to process it, so I listened to this song over and over again.
My condolences.
Sorry to hear that mate
this is unbelievable - so beautiful
like a scythe in the god damned ribs
this, on a good day, and clam crab cockle cowrie, joanna's lullabys
And This Side of the Blue...
esme as well!!

stop making me cry every time
If I have the space of half a day,
I'm ashamed of half the things I say.
I'm ashamed to have turned out this way,
and I desire to make amends.
But it don't make no difference, now,
and no-one's listening, anyhow,
and lists of sins and solemn vows
don't make you any friends.
There's an old trick played,
when the light and the wine conspire
to make me think I'm fine.
I'm not, but I have got half a mind
to maybe get there, yet.
When the sky goes pink in Paris, France,
do you think of the girl who used to dance
when you'd frame her moving within your hands,
saying This I won't forget?
What happened to the man you were,
when you loved somebody before her?
Did he die?
Or does that man endure, somewhere far away?
Our lives come easy and our lives come hard.
And we carry them like a pack of cards:
some we don't use, but we don't discard,
but keep for a rainy day.
Thanks.
Yo, this bitch got bars
Why you call like that?
Can we talk about the amazon advert for this album? It's bloody fantastic, y ' all;
I want it burned into my body.
Well, what are you still doing here.....? Did you read it...... ?...
i desire to make amends
First time I’ve heard this one 😭
How does she do it

+TomatoOtters Try this version: www.dragcity.com/products/divers
+D. Erik Goodman >buying music

+D. Erik Goodman i was joking lad
I just met the girl from Paris. She cut my hair.

Ho fa expressament de cantar amb aquesta veu tant extranya? Em queda el dubte...
I don't understand the abrupt ending that's played backwards
+Mike9201984 somewhere far away
+Mike9201984 I understand that she is unsaying the things she said (remember the begining "If I have the space of half a day, I'm ashamed of half the things I say")

great track..although sounded to me like 'and I desire to naked mans'...probably just wishful thinking : )
+John Burgess pretty sure it's "I desire to make amends"
wow! bit horny today are we mate!?
Enfin, Joanna, enlève ce centuron!...
