the concept of time and clocks is a recurring theme in this album. in the song arcadia she says " hour after hour golden blue" and in this song she says "where every clock is stopped by you" and im sure there's other references to clocks throughout the album as well
meu. deus. esses arquivos, a composição, a música, a caroline... MARAVILHOSAS!!!! obrigado por ser esse refresco na minha vida. suas obras são inspiradoras, intimas e intrigantes.
The second you offered me a ride I couldn't get the thought out of my mind Promises open when they're pried Up with the vapor of a week of sighs The cards say, "A change is coming near And as a nestling on the bough The fool is the martyr of the now" [Chorus] Izzit true what they tell me? Izzit true what they tell me? Izzit true what they tell me? Izzit true what they tell me? [Verse 2] Inviting you in a second time How your possessions were lighter than mine And how we talked all through the night As if I'd have known you all of my life Touching your finger to my eye How you prove the card was right That said you'd be all I have in sight [Chorus] Izzit true what they tell me? Izzit true what they tell me? Izzit true what they tell me? Izzit true what they tell me? [Bridge 1] Ay, is the lesson cast asunder Oh, and you can't even know What kind of lack that you're leaving Ay, want a rented bed of sorrow Go to hell I adore you Ay, ever-righteous call of thunder Oh, I don't know what to call it But I know that you feel it Ay, ever-wretched call of wonder With no regrets... Now I receive you on the day I hide and seek you on the hour (In time) In odysseys of no and yes Even now, as a witness... And even now... [Verse 3] Am I a finch, am I the cage O either way I couldn't care If you could see inside my head Where every clock is stopped by you Like in some silent threat Like I'm the one that should be careful Though it never could've happened without you No it never could have happened without you... [Bridge 2] Budding interrupted In glory of their matching Winding up the rope Together and alone Tell me a story Leaving out the ending I don't want to know Whose heart was made to roam [Chorus] Izzit true what they tell me? Izzit true what they tell me? Izzit true what they tell me? Izzit true what they tell me?
So many projects, so many good songs, I really start to feel something for Caroline Polachek.
Three years later and I'm still jamming this on spotify daily

"Simple" yet beautiful choreographies, Caroline is a marvel.

The second you offered me a ride
I couldn't get the thought out of my mind
Promises open when they're pried
Up with the vapor of a week of sighs
The cards say, "A change is coming near
And as a nestling on the bough
The fool is the martyr of the now"
[Chorus]
Izzit true what they tell me?
Izzit true what they tell me?
Izzit true what they tell me?
Izzit true what they tell me?
[Verse 2]
Inviting you in a second time
How your possessions were lighter than mine
And how we talked all through the night
As if I'd have known you all of my life
Touching your finger to my eye
How you prove the card was right
That said you'd be all I have in sight
[Chorus]
Izzit true what they tell me?
Izzit true what they tell me?
Izzit true what they tell me?
Izzit true what they tell me?
[Bridge 1]
Ay, is the lesson cast asunder
Oh, and you can't even know
What kind of lack that you're leaving
Ay, want a rented bed of sorrow
Go to hell I adore you
Ay, ever-righteous call of thunder
Oh, I don't know what to call it
But I know that you feel it
Ay, ever-wretched call of wonder
With no regrets...
Now I receive you on the day
I hide and seek you on the hour
(In time)
In odysseys of no and yes
Even now, as a witness...
And even now...
[Verse 3]
Am I a finch, am I the cage
O either way I couldn't care
If you could see inside my head
Where every clock is stopped by you
Like in some silent threat
Like I'm the one that should be careful
Though it never could've happened without you
No it never could have happened without you...
[Bridge 2]
Budding interrupted
In glory of their matching
Winding up the rope
Together and alone
Tell me a story
Leaving out the ending
I don't want to know
Whose heart was made to roam
[Chorus]
Izzit true what they tell me?
Izzit true what they tell me?
Izzit true what they tell me?
Izzit true what they tell me?
I think I'm in love.
I am picturing a mall in Tokyo, a fall sunset shining through the giant windows.
Do you guys know what she means by "the fool is the martyr of the now"?
i think she was saying that someone fooled her into believing that he loved her
I like it because its werid and kooky
You should make it a playlist on youtube so we can see all the videos in order ;D awesome videos
how can someone make a song like this???
she's clinically insane that's the only explanation for how someone could come up with this song
LITERALLY
Sick. Sick and twisted.

we want early subscriber NFTs Mrs. Polachek
