Relationship Songs, particularly the Dark "Ending Them" Ones, are typically not as popular... People seem to prefer Uplifting Positive Tunes that can help uplift and encourage Happier Times. Do you agree? Curious....
Elephants If the elephants have past lives Yet all destined to always remember It's no wonder how they scream Like you and I, they must have some temper And I am dreaming of them on the planes Dirtying up their beds, Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads And how dare that you send me that card When I am doing all that I can do You are forcing me to remember When all I want is just forget you If the tiger shall protect her young Then tell me how did you sleep by? Oh, my instincts have failed me for once I must have slept the whole night And I am dreaming of them with their kill, Tearing it all apart Blood dripping from their lips And teeth sinking into heart And how dare that you say you'll call When you know I need some peace of mind If you have to take sides with the animals Won't you do it with one who is kind? If the hawks in the trees need the dead If you're living you don't stand a chance For a time though you share the same bed But there are only two ends to this dance You can flee with your wounds just in time Or lie there as he feeds, Watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed So for those have you fallen in love Keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right Throw yourself in the mist of danger But keep an eye open at night.
Surreal! I dreamed about elephants and was just doing a search for the meaning. So glad I came across this song.. it's speaking to me in many ways. Beautiful song!! I'm a fan now!! 🙏🏼
they say you fall in love with songs because you feel what the singer feels as they sing the song and Ms.Rachael , i feel what you feel :) beautiful song !
it is hard to post a comment when you can't get the tears to go away lol Lyrical, Vocal & musical perfection ! This song is profoundly moving & the video viscerally ethereal . For anyone who has known the joy & pain of love lost this is nothing less than cathartic ! BRAVA
i've been a fan from the start but i'd heard elephants was a bomb so it was only recently that i bought the album. just goes to show, don't believe everything you hear - i am sooooo in love with this album. it's extremely diverse, features the voice in ways we've all come to love and the music just moves me all over the place... definitely better late than never.
You can flee with your wounds just in time or lie there as he feeds Watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed......... So for those of you falling in love keep it kind Keep it good Keep it right Throw yourself in the midst of danger but keep one eye open at night....... i don't know how many broken hearts she's been through...but almost all her songs are as depressing as this one...lol....poor rachel. charming though.
I always wonder what Ben Gibbard's been through when I listen to Death Cab's 'Transatlanticism' and 'We Have The Facts And We're Voting Yes'. What you said made me think of that.
If the elephants have past lives yet are destined to always remember It's no wonder how they scream Like you and I they must have some temper And I am dreaming of them on the plains dirtying up their beds Watching for some kind of rain to cool their hot heads And how dare that you send me that card when I'm doing all that I can do You are forcing me to remember when all I want is to just forget you If the tiger shall protect her young then tell me how did you slip by All my instincts have failed me for once I must have somehow slept the whole night And I am dreaming of them with their kill tearing it all apart Blood dripping from their lips teeth sinking in too hearts And how dare that you say you will call when you know I need some peace of mind If you had to take sides with the animals won't you do it with one who is kind? If the hawks in the trees need the dead if you're living you don't stand a chance You can lie there and say you are fed but there are only two ends to this dance You can flee with your wounds just in time or lie there as he feeds Watching yourself ripped to shreds laughing as you bleed So for those of you falling in love keep it kind keep it good keep it right Throw yourself in the midst of danger but keep one eye open at night

Do you agree?
Curious....
She's really pretty. Both her and her music
Elephants
If the elephants have past lives
Yet all destined to always remember
It's no wonder how they scream
Like you and I, they must have some temper
And I am dreaming of them on the planes
Dirtying up their beds,
Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads
And how dare that you send me that card
When I am doing all that I can do
You are forcing me to remember
When all I want is just forget you
If the tiger shall protect her young
Then tell me how did you sleep by?
Oh, my instincts have failed me for once
I must have slept the whole night
And I am dreaming of them with their kill,
Tearing it all apart
Blood dripping from their lips
And teeth sinking into heart
And how dare that you say you'll call
When you know I need some peace of mind
If you have to take sides with the animals
Won't you do it with one who is kind?
If the hawks in the trees need the dead
If you're living you don't stand a chance
For a time though you share the same bed
But there are only two ends to this dance
You can flee with your wounds just in time
Or lie there as he feeds,
Watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed
So for those have you fallen in love
Keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right
Throw yourself in the mist of danger
But keep an eye open at night.
thankss!!!!
😌👌
TWD Lover ^_^ :*
*then tell me how did you *slip by?
Absolute Genius so powerful - it shows where society at today, so uplifting. Why doesn't this video have millions of views?
The lyrics are so deep, and the ending bittersweet, "throw yourself in the midst of danger, but keep one eye open at night.
I love her music, her voice is hypnotic.

Love her as artist. This is one of my favorite songs.
This is my favorite video of all time :) purely epic...one of Rachael's best.
Rachael opened for The Frames at a concert here in Boise, ID. I think she drank a little before getting on stage.
Man, that was a great concert.

If the elephants have past lives
yet are destined to always remember
It's no wonder how they scream
Like you and I they must have some temper
And I am dreaming of them on the plains
dirtying up their beds
Watching for some kind of rain
to cool their hot heads
And how dare that you send me that card
when I'm doing all that I can do
You are forcing me to remember
when all I want is to just forget you
If the tiger shall protect her young
then tell me how did you slip by
All my instincts have failed me for once
I must have somehow slept the whole night
And I am dreaming of them with their kill
tearing it all apart
Blood dripping from their lips
teeth sinking in too hearts
And how dare that you say you will call
when you know I need some peace of mind
If you had to take sides with the animals
won't you do it with one who is kind?
If the hawks in the trees need the dead
if you're living you don't stand a chance
You can lie there and say you are fed
but there are only two ends to this dance
You can flee with your wounds just in time
or lie there as he feeds
Watching yourself ripped to shreds
laughing as you bleed
So for those of you falling in love
keep it kind
keep it good
keep it right
Throw yourself in the midst of danger
but keep one eye open at night
@MrGentlehand yeah, the interesting thing is that she's very upbeat and funny in between the songs at concerts.
If the elephants have past lives yet are destined to always remember
It's no wonder how they scream .....
♥♥♥
;_; I cry sooo much
If the elephants have past lives,
Yet are destined to always remember,
It's no wonder how they scream,
Like you and I, they must have some temper.
And I am dreaming of them on the plains,
Dirtying up their beds,
Watching for some kind of rain
To cool their hot heads.
And how dare that you send me that card
When I'm doing all that I can do.
You are forcing me to remember
When all I want is to just forget you.
If the tiger shall protect her young,
Then tell me how did you slip by.
All my instincts have failed me for once
I must have somehow slept the whole night.
And I am dreaming of them with their kill,
Tearing it all apart,
Blood dripping from their lips,
And teeth sinking in to heart.
And how dare that you say you will call,
When you know I need some peace of mind..
If you had to take sides with the animals,
Won't you do it with one who is kind?
If the hawks in the trees need the dead,
If you're living you don't stand a chance.
For a time, though you share the same bed,
There are only two ends to this dance.
You can flee with your wounds just in time,
Or lie there as he feeds,
Watching yourself ripped to shreds
And laughing as you bleed.
So for those of you falling in love,
Keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right.
Throw yourself in the midst of danger,
But keep one eye open at night.

Quelle poésie
Beautiful lyrics. Was this shot at the Salton Sea?
no idea what the song is about , but it sounds nice
where is this place?
Sounds like a soundtrack, doesn't it?
Sad very sad
I always seem to cry to this song. Also, I'm a guy. How embarrassing.
Alex Papasozomenos that’s okay guys should cry once in while knowing that you’re still human
