yes! agree with the commenters - lilting melody; a grand, sweeping ethereal soundscape. completely unexpected and almost disarming chord changes, thoughtful and rather ominous-sounding lyrics - it crescendos so satisfyingly - and as a previous commenter stated "the last sad little note gets me every time" Suggestive of what may have happened at the end of the narative chills!. this takes writing "popular" contemporary music to a whole other level, def one of the best written pieces in recent memory
Lyrics: Betsy on the roof I can't send the rain down, baby I can't send the rain down anymore Oh oh, she said Oh oh, she said oh oh ooh Oh oh, she said Oh oh, she said oh oh ooh What of this cloud? What of this cloud? What of this cloud? What of this cloud? Moon and emotion Elsewhere is my name We don't dim the lights down anymore Oh oh, she said Oh oh, she said oh oh ooh Oh oh, she said Oh oh, she said oh oh ooh I can't remember the words to say I don't remember the words to say to you I'm standing here on the ground, Betsy, my arms stretched out Looking up, won't you please tell me the answer You know the answer, Betsy I'm standing here on the ground, Betsy, my arms stretched out Looking up, won't you please tell me the answer You know the answer, Betsy

Easily her best song and one of the best written songs of the last decade I think that's unquestionable.
I try not to listen to it too often because I want the magic to keep hitting me...
HolographiCat First time in over a year right now
Hard though isn't it
This song is a masterpiece.
Absolutely fantastic song. That last sad little note gets me everytime
This song is epically beautiful, a lot of great crescendos and build ups and the melodies she uses are wonderful
AMAZING! Julia Holter is unstoppable!
Utterly beautiful song
Sad and beautiful. My favourites. And a masterpiece.
I watched her play live a few hours ago, and this was the most heartbreaking, beautiful, vital songs of them all...
I can't stop listening to this. I think it's quite a perfect song.
Omg this song has me in its grasp. It really kills me.
Brilliant innovative music.
Beautiful.
all great talent goes unheard of to the masses in this day and age.
Really digging this song, can't wait for the album release.

I'm so happy that you've re-recorded this song. One of my all time fave Holter tunes!
True poetry.
Great song by a great singer! I hope she comes to perform in Brazil one day!
Demasiado brillante
Lyrics:
Betsy on the roof
I can't send the rain down, baby
I can't send the rain down anymore
Oh oh, she said
Oh oh, she said oh oh ooh
Oh oh, she said
Oh oh, she said oh oh ooh
What of this cloud?
What of this cloud?
What of this cloud?
What of this cloud?
Moon and emotion
Elsewhere is my name
We don't dim the lights down anymore
Oh oh, she said
Oh oh, she said oh oh ooh
Oh oh, she said
Oh oh, she said oh oh ooh
I can't remember the words to say
I don't remember the words to say to you
I'm standing here on the ground, Betsy, my arms stretched out
Looking up, won't you please tell me the answer
You know the answer, Betsy
I'm standing here on the ground, Betsy, my arms stretched out
Looking up, won't you please tell me the answer
You know the answer, Betsy
Musical genius
beautiful
Best pop album of the year.
WOW !! Gorgeousness shimmering all over this !
It remembers an early Elton song... Like something from Madman Across The Water... Loved it
This is like a lost power ballad of the the 80's - 90's.
ayyy my name!!
Why are you on the roof?
Perfection
Es mi favorita
This song slayed my ass
+Chevie Maliboo YAAAAASSSSSS
