Settle Down Lyrics:
I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Won't you settle down with me?
Settle down
We can settle at a table..
A table for two
Won't you wine and dine with me?
Settle down
I wanna raise a child
I wanna raise a child
Won't you raise a child with me...
Raise a child
We'll call her Nebraska
Nebraska Jones
She'll have your nose
Just so you know
I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Won't you settle down with me?
Settle down
Run from Angela Vickers
I saw her with you
Monday morning small talking on the avenue
She's got a fancy car
She wants to take you far
From the city lights and sounds deep into the dark
Star so light and star so bright
First star i see tonight!
Star so light and star so bright
Keep him by side!
I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Baby there's no need to run
I'll love you well
I wanna settle down
It's time to bring you down
On just one knee for now
Lets make our vows - เพลง

I love the way she says "Nebraska, Nebraska Jones" for some reason
I though she wanted to name her kid "The fast car" first time i heard it.
Reminds me of Michael
Me too
It's really nice
Is that Indy's son?
To be honest, I love the way Kimbra awkwardly dances.
It's awkward but on beat, I'm sorry but that's like a skill. Who else can do that?! Love Kimbra, she's awesome.
Same i love her dancing 👌👌
punchy9214 I agree, it is on beat. I love it
kyle dominic I think Kimbra is pretty.
punchy9214 Lorde :)
i'm so glad people are getting into kimbra, she has such an INCREDIBLE voice!!
@Peter Evans why?
@Peter Evans I don’t understand. Why did it end her career?
@@CoooolRocks it’s supposedly sexist and retrograde. It also uses kids to portray the story. Personally I don’t think this is the reason her career ended but I guess I’m not that well informed.
……..why did you do this under my comment 💀 this is a song/video from her first album and she has two other wonderful albums that i hope people also enjoy………..……. anyway, her voice is incredible and i’m glad people are getting into her lmao
I like her lips.
sometimes Kimbra looks like a doll, other times she looks like an egyptian goddess, she's just so versatile
My appreciation goes to my fans all over the world
My fans have always had an amazing impact on my career
For all the support and positivity I want to thank you all
What part of the world do you support me from?
@@kimbraleejohnson3588 Argentina!
Is she Egypt?
@Peter Evans how is that?
Like a Katy Perry that actually can sing
She dances like she's throwing her magic around
Luisa Regina 😂😂
Oh I like that comment so much
This is proably what happens in your head when you drink the amortentia potion..
Your comment!! 👍👌👌
sprinkling
Kimbra is the indie singer sound that all normal indie singers wish they had
Wælcum tou maih keetchen. We hav bananis. And œvacadis.
Ummm..... Lana Del Rey...
Indie?
Supreme Leader 390 million people say otherwise
so the masses are always right? lol @@matsu3575
me who has 0 interest in kids nor marriage at 3 am: "I WANNA SETTLE DOWN" "I WANNA RAISE A CHILD" "WON'T YOU RAISE A CHILD WITH ME?"
@Noah Gabel huh
@Noah Gabel ok
I think that might be the point. To me, the video looks like a critique on perceived expectations of traditionalism. "Have a family, settle down, get married, have kids."
lol. it's funnier to me because I started singing this in the mic during gameplay. My teammates were so unhappy they joined the enemy, but the ememies started humming along with me. Friday got weird in this early morning.
Have you ever read Sigmund Freud? He would have a very interesting take on your statement. Shine on sister Shine On
Just discovering this lady. She is truly talented
You didnt know about somebody i used to know
Facts
@Nick Gurr Not from New Zealand but definitely knew about it before Somebody That I Used To Know because of older siblings.
You won’t regret it ! I’ve been listening her since I was in middle school !! That was about 8 years ago
if anything, this started her career
I’m oddly mesmerized by the way she dances in this.
That's her thing. One of the reason why I love her so much. 😂
Me too. Its very classic. Has a 50's style to it.
Same. The way she dances is so whimsical and calming. She's like a little doll or a puppet that's being pulled with strings attached to her as she dances. ❤
Its kind of adorable.

kimbra's dancing cured me of depression
Saaaame, guurll! Same!
I wish it was that easy lol
your comment cured me of depression
Billliebunny agree 1000 times
@ADARSH PLAYS WOW yeah! just like why have asthma, just breath duh. Or why have two broken legs just walk idiot!
Kimbra is slept on vocally and let's not lie, the dancing is hypnotic for some reason
13 years ago! How come in only discovering this no m right now?!?! Tune!
those girls are absolutely killing it in this video
I fucking love them, they give the video that... Spark... That just makes it perfect
@@rubenvelazco4287 Abso-fucking-lutely!
@@mistformlady I know right?! I mean ... It's like.... If you would have add up something else... It would be like.... Not the best...
You can tell that the one on the left was probably told to keep a straight face but can't stop herself from smiling
Somebody knows the name of these Girls?
I hate myself for discovering this a decade late
I just discovered this myself. But I'm old.
I read discovering as "Divorcing" and I was very confused for like 5 seconds.
Never too late for Kimbra 👏
Totally late but I’ll keep listening because this is good
10 years too late
if ur still listening to this ur a legend
I can't believe I discovered her just now, her voice is just something else
same
you know the feeling when...you are enjoying this song and suddenly your shoulder starts to enjoy this too...
You mean at 01:12
@@kellykahn7403
Umm yes
I have no idea what this means and it’s kind of creeping me out.
@@koolkat-hq5xc yes
This song deserved way more recognition than it got.
+Skye Wheeler 31 million views is certainly some recognition. or do you mean it should have been talked about on social media and mainstream news sites in which case i disagree.
+CarEdy23 and if it's yi flighty usleizuwuw eyedropper and
+CarEdy23 I personally just feel the song should be more well known. Yes, 31 million views is a lot! Which is awesome for her! But anytime I mention this song to someone, they've never heard the song. I performed this song in front of my school once and every person who spoke to me said they'd never heard the song. And if you disagree with, no worries! Opinions are opinions(:
+Skye Wheeler *with me
Skye Wheeler Yeah i get what you're saying i would be pretty cool if it was better known.
Heard this song when it came out 12 years ago. I was 17. Kimbra was about 19. She really was ahead of her time. I loved the track then but wow, it resonates so much more now.
After all these years, such a fresh and unique song. Love Kimbra!
this literalyy came out ages ago when music was good
I like how the two girls in white are in perfect harmony while doing the same dance moves while Kimbra is in black doing her own thing. Like Order and Chaos.
Those two white girls are the same girls that played as wives in this video
@@hirako7620 What's that have to do with my comment?
Nothing, I'm just pointing it out
I would have lost my 2 step for sure
I can’t believe she was only 19 when she made this😍
She's dope on many levels
she was WHAT
i cant believe she still hasnt settled down.
Wow.
Ketia Brenner really
I can't believe this came out 12 years ago. It looks like it was made today. Such an underrated banger!
Her voice is angelic and unapologetic and humble all at the same time
It maddens me how underrated kimbra and her songs are.
I mean so it Gotye and they’re both really great artists without much fame, but true art.
43 mil views is underrated for u?
@@raccooneyedronan to say that a lot of them are from people in the past year all bc of “somebody I used to know” on tik tok.. then yes
True art is almost always underrated..
People feed on high fructose bullshit called Hype!!
Not in my world shes not...☺
*I think she is somebody that I used to know*
yes
🤣🤣
SO IT IS HER! OK I can live in Pease now....
@Nawbs Seriously?? With 8 billion (give or take a billion) people on the planet and, depending on who you talk to ; written word around for 5 thousand + years... how much "Original Thought " are you expecting ? All Caps to boot? Lighten up , nobody is screaming unoriginal thoughts at you ... Have a pulchritudinous day and year !
Really? That's too bad, man. She didn't have to cut you off.
10 years on and I still get chills… such a great song.
Just discovered her and she is truly a fantastic vocalist.
ikr
I feel like this song is highly underrated.
39 million views
yeah no
Kimbra herself is highly underrated.
@The Professional One/Always thank u 🙏💕
@Justin Seers I concur
@@fastandbulbous9697 what number of views have to do with being properly rated as a song/video?
This song sounds just as good as when it came out. She was just so way ahead of her time
This is good music, but how was this ahead of its time? I didn't see or hear anything groundbreaking to justify being called ahead of its time. Not trying to be a douche but I just wondered what made you say that.
I think she was ahead of her time, if she'd been discovered now she's give people like Billie Eillish and Dua Lipa a run for their money
I think ahead of time means people/artists don't get the credit that they deserve at the time. But,if it had come out later, in would have been everywhere. Unfortunately, it's a double edge sword to be that. I personally would rather be considered ahead of my time than being everywhere-denoting usually rich and famous. Well, I'd take the riches but not the fame! Lol. I love my anonymity!
Ya I feel like Melanie Martinez was kinda inspired by this
"ahead of her time"
You are basic. Can you get more generic?
This song is definitely a very underappreciated classic!
For anyone that's confused, this song is about how girls are taught conform to certain roles like marriage/love, at an early age. Throughout the video, the girl is learning, cooking, cleaning etc(settling), while the man is not doing much of anything (in terms of marriage), for example the scene at the park where the man is still.
Showing that the relationship is pretty much as good as a mannequin and mannequins are not really good for anything except display, maintaining an illusion or convincing you to buy into something, when it's not always sunshine and rainbows.
The white dress (innocence) and the dolls being burnt shows that the little girls are not left alone to be children and innocent, but instead given roles and values to play etc.
Meanwhile, Kimbra is wearing black because she has grown yet still while being influenced by the ideals that society expects from her, she chose to be free from them.
There's a lot more to it but hope that gives you some thought, for anyone that did read :)
Thoughtful and thorough breakdown! Thanks!
Thank you for mansplaining that to us.
Now I understand why gotye want to collaborate with her.. Both are true artist.
The artist that was supposed to be at the recording studio wasent there but she was. That's the storry
@@jersiewitter4022 good thing
Halo
@@jersiewitter4022 honestly, it was for the better. The song as good as it could have been still, wouldn´t have been the same without Kimbra´s collaboration
@@jersiewitter4022 no no, a "'high profile' female vocalist" Australian artist (my guess is Sia) was initially going to play the female part but then changed their mind, so they had a rethink... so you are right in that the part wasn't made with her in mind, but it's not like she just happened to be at the studio.
This Kimbra girl.
I like her.
Another!
Same.
The Kimbra girl
I like her
I want to kiss her brushy cheek
And cause her a little wreak
I want to make her a big smile
And ride with her for a little while
Oh Kimbra, be my love and star, be my beloved muse
Or bodies will confluence like a fuse
Oh baby, I want so hard to ride you on mine car's hood
And brighten little up your sad and frighten mood
Kimbra, you are the muse, the star in darkness
I want to take you to the Harkness
You lead my ship to safest harbor
I want to fuck you in my armor
Nescafé
Tron represent lol
I am embarrassed to say that I just now discovered this in 2020. This is freaking amazing. So good.
Sameee
Kimbra is the definition of "underrated".
HOW is she not more popular?
IKR
She's got a very unique sound and style, so I can easily understand how. The general public might not like her much
At least, she won a grammy
Because most people have poor taste
@Supreme Leader as a person who likes K-pop I am offended
Catchy and creepy, at the same time.
As a beautiful witch making a potion in her cauldron
This has 666 likes how ironic.
Creepy because shes in the illuminati...exactly how I deciphered this vid creepy .
?
9 years and counting i’ve been in love with this song. the greatest song OF ALL TIME. CRIMINALLY underrated. what a message. LOVE her🥺
I've had a crush on Kimbra since the day this song was released, now I am a musician as well and I can only appreciate how beautiful this song is. I am so in love with how the whole track develops and evolves, it's just something so unique that I haven't found elsewhere. Thank you Kimbra :)
😢
The production on this song is absolutely genius
Anyone here just because your mind went:
pOom PoOm pOoM BaH
out of nowhere?
happens every once in a while
No
Yes
It wasn't out of nowhere. Your subconscious is trying to tell you something. If you think about it you'll almost always find the song is connected with something going on in your life.
That's joywave isn't it?
10 years later and this song still gives me CHILLS cause Kimbra is a Queen
I discovered Kimbra back in 2012 when I had met a nice lad from Hamilton, NZ. He said he knew Kimbra after our music discussions somehow landed on "now you're just somebody that I used to know" and suggested I give her a listen. From there I dove head first into her music and she quickly became one of my favorite artists of all time. I will never understand why she doesn't like Vows. I know it wasn't completely hers or as personal like her other albums but I always wait for the day when I'll hear another album as brilliant as this one. Cheers Kimbra, keep writing your story.
Kimbra and Lorde should do a song together with their unique dance moves !!!!! OMG I WANT IT SO BAAAAD
+irem akdeniz YASSSSS
yeyeyeyeyeye
shut up women go back to the kitchen you feminist
+Chris Beers Settle Down
+name5667 was that pun intended? because I'm dying of laughter now XD
is the entire album so distinctive in sound? I am blown away with this song. extremely rich in composition, deep in substance and commentary.
The first half is. Maybe the rest isn't quite as strong, not bad though. It's an excellent EP's worth of material either way.
In my opinion, Vows is one of the best debut albums I've ever heard, in any genre...
Over a decade and I’m just now listening to this bop! Kimbra we all love your work
Still listening and awkwardly dancing in 2024 🫶🏿
I LOVE this song. it makes me think of how we dream of something for so long and find out its not what we need at all.
I love your perspective on this song! It makes a lot of sense
+Tay♡Bay I agree completely with this interpretation. That's why the video features young girls (the hopes expressed in the song are juvenile) and burning dolls (the death of innocence/childhood as the hopes are fulfilled and outcomes are lacking)
I remember watching this a few years ago and thinking "this is so weird", but watching it now I absolutely love it.
Me
One of the most underrated artists.
And also, I just love this song.
Ugh, this will always be one of my favorites
Damnnnn I remember listening to this on repeat when it came out. Jamming it from my iPhone 4 lmfao time flies man!
Same going to download this again for sure
I used to dream of having an iPhone 4.
Same, on my Blackberry
I had this on an ipod 🤣🤣🤣
2:52 the girl on the left is trying real hard not to laugh at Kkmbra's dance moves. xD
MrObvious ,😂😂😂😂
Shit u right 😂😂
LOL
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She is most likely smirking because she missed the hand of the other background dancer...
This video is my absolute childhood.
A few months ago I found my small old iPod I had when I was around 4yrs old, and this music video was saved on it.
I remember, as a child, listening to her sing repeatedly and watching her dance, I was simply mesmerized & entertained.
Obviously; when I was a child, I didn't understand what she was talking about.
Although I do remember copying the way that girl's skirt was laid, resting on the ground.
I do remember that nostalgic heartthrob whenever I am to watch those dolls burn.
Her dancing is also very nostalgic...
:) I'm happy.
So proud I found this when I was 10 :,) x
I’m 20 now :D
I can't believe this song is this old. Insane. I remember when it came out.
Dovahkiin [ Carrie ] literally the same, And I can’t believe how it’s lowkey blown up!! This was a go to when I was 10-11
Me too dud
Well you have a username that was relevant in 2011. Krosis...
saaame it used to play on C4 and the other NZ music channels a lot and i LOVED it everytime it came on haha. thank god for youtube now!
Thought I was the only one that danced that way. Good to know I'm not alone.
I do too. My dancing is mostly shoulders, since I dance sitting down and doing other things a lot, and spinning and weird, jerky, just-decided-to-do-this movements. But I guess that's just how white girls dance. I like to say I dance so bad looking because it comes from the 'soul' or whatever you want to call it instead of choreography of any kind. As Eminem would say, you just let yourself go.
emurphy66 I'm not a white girl though, at least I wasn't the last time I checked and saw a penis :c
Your comment made my day lol
everything u say is great haha XD
Lali Diaz Thank you
Why is she so underrated....so much talent here
I've listened to this song for years, absolutely love it...catchy tune with seemingly very dark undertones..."just one knee...for now..."
I love how she dances. It always puts a smile on my face :)
Sam Smith
1:01 epic dance breakdown :)
You can't handle these moves XD
She's a pro
She can dance like a master more like it. Queen Kimbra :-)
Mhm, maybe. But I reckon that her dancing is what you called style and the songs do frigging amazing.
MissUnderEstamated dv&&6
Eu escutava muito essa música na adolescência. Kimbra é simplesmente perfeita
First time ever seeing/hearing Kimbra- I can't stop, I'm hooked already
I wish the direction of modern music was closer to this style. It's creative and does have a new feel not replicated by many songs. Retro yet modern at the same time, very tasteful 10/10
what a voice...fuck
Best way to describe anything.
This is one of those songs where you just listened to years back. It's part of the nostalgia playlist for me 😭
I'm upset that I'm now just hearing this soulful tune ❤
Same here.
if lana, marina, lorde, melanie, and her did a collab literally the world would end

This song is surprisingly good. She is awesome with her moves. Gosh. This won't be forgotten in the future. 👏👏👏
Her voice's so amazing!!
Why am I so addicted to this
It's just an excellent music video and song making an excellent point
I kept seeing this as a recommendation when I was watching Gotye songs. Finally decided to give it a shot.
Me too!
John Connor... come with me if you want to live.
No! I won't fall for that again. The last time I came with someone I was raped behind an arby's.
Crap meant to say mugged behind an arby's

Everyone needs to listen to this song at least 22 times. Yep. Just facts.
10 years later I’m still listening
Bum ba bum bap.

This gave me "I'm not the only one" vibes, where the young girl is trying so hard to be the perfect wife so that he won't go away with the other girl, but he's still not at the table. The powerful thing is that the two girls are faced with one another other at the end, and they realise that they themselves are not the enemy in the situation, but the image of perfect wives and mistresses being a normal thing, and not respecting themselves in letting the guy do whatever he wants and still get away with it - that is the enemy. Therefore; rather than attacking each other, they unite in dance, and the dolls (which represent the whole image and idea of perfect little conforming wives and mistresses, in my idea) start to burn when they come together and the man isn't even a part of the picture by then, because of them being together and respecting each other.
I'll also add that the pain in the voice in the lyrics at the empty table part is so powerful for me, in how much she desires for her man to stay and be with her, and has only the "stars so bright" to ask him to stay because that is the only power she has in the situation, and it's so painful
Ah! And then you have the girls with the "Hey! Oh oh!" at the very end calling other people to be the same and start looking at these issues of what they had lived :)
Of course, that's just one interpretation, but that's what I got from it ;) May each enjoy their own view, as I have certainly enjoyed reading people's ideas. :) cheers!
I think your interpretation is exactly right. You're a smart cookie. However, it makes me sad, because judging by the lyrics alone I wouldn't have assumed it was more liberal bullshit, but alas, it pervades everything I love. The music video ruined the song for me, but I thought it was beautifully choreographed.
@@brianstanton8296 Everyone experiences heart break in one way or another. There's nothing political about that. This song and video are from the perspective of a woman, and maybe that woman grew up in a wholesome house with good parents and assumed that if she just followed along with that pattern, she'd find a relationship like that. Maybe she grew up in a broken home and wants the story book domestic life that she never saw growing up.
Either way, she found out that life isn't as simple as that and there are a lot of people in the world who won't cherish you the way you want and need to be cherished. It's a sad lesson, but it's a lesson that most people learn the same way. Could have just as easily been a video about a boy or young man who does his best to stand up for the weak, who is honest and humble, and gets walked all over by a girl who just wants the "bad boy."
Wish she did more of this style of music .she changed alot but still love her voice .shes got a voice like no other.
Kimbra is SO talented. I hope she keeps making music
I swear half these views are from me alone..

Omg I love Kimbra's dance moves, no joke.
i remember on itunes this was a free music video you could download and it’s stuck with me ever since, such a beautiful voice!!
Man I recall loving this song when I came out. Still love it now!!
1:40 is a blessing honestly she sounds so good
what?! OMG !? She is Brilliant...can't believe I haven't heard of her...god ....she is giving me

STILL A BOP ugh here I am 8 years later, still belting it
yo legend, im still here after 11 years
Those kids in the vid were stellar. Their faces and expressions!
In some scenes their faces looked almost like adults. And not just because of makeup and dresses, but because of expressions.

I can't believe this video is 8 years old! It's crazyyyy! Still love it though!
She has the most amazing voice I've ever heard.
I love Kimbra!! I wish they played music like this on the radios and I wish more artists created music like this still.. so delicious.. loveeee.

seriously considering naming my future daughter Nebraska Jones
my cousin wanted 2 name her daughter Salamander Suki Lee Jones,figured she could be Sally as a kid then when she got older she could use Salamander if she turned out weird like her mom.she changed her mind though & named her Viebka.i think I'd prefer Salamander.Viebke sounds like something you would need taken off your foot
+tatiana matysuk Naming your kid a weird name is so mean to the kid. You're just pleading for the kid to be bullied in school.
SantaCruzBay my friend was going 2 name her son Forest Adrian until I convinced her it would get him beaten up @ recess @ least once a week
+captain_ahab Nebraska isn't that uncommon of a name
+captain_ahab I think less common, but I see what you mean.
this video is 6 and half years old , dafuq? i just found out about it and i fell in love

Come settle down with me
Don't feel bad, Manhattan Transfer has been around since the 70' and I just discovered them last year...smh
check out her live stuff too.. she is fantastic!!
I have listened to kimbra since I was like four 😂😂 Me and my Mom love her X3
Suddenly remember this absolutely good song even after years it sounds so timeless
12 years later and i’m still obsessed. i remembered every word 🥺
6 years later and this song is still damn catchy!
She is Stunningly Beautiful
It's the mouth isn't? ^_^ so superficial but that's what the eyes are for!
Yeah, Kimbra looks nice too
- lol ikr
I discovered Kimbra when I was in Australia for two years between 2010 -2012. When I came back to the UK Somebody that I used to know was playing everywhere, yet she never took off in the UK despite the success of the song. Such a great artist and underrated x
Kimbra.. oh how I miss her songs. Haven’t heard them in a while. Another artist that I enjoy is St Vincent. ❤️
