Band of Horses – Ode to LRC Lyrics 17 years ago
Wow, I'm no genius by any means but I'm the only person who figured this out.. and had it confirmed by being at their show in Tampa.
He says "IF the world is such a wonderful place".... I picked it up every so faintly like the 3rd or 4th time I listened to the song, and realized that wow, if he's saying "IF" the world is such a wonderful place it COMPLETELY changes the outlook of the song.
It's funny I've seen several reviewers talk about the optimistic viewpoint when unless I'm wrong it's just the opposite.
At the concert I obviously was training my ear to catch the "if" and he practically yelled it!! Then at the end when he says "la de da" he drops an "f---ing" in front of it!
quite a different story
