What drunkenrivers says sounds super interesting and raises the song's grade for sure. steve11494 I agree, is about one-night-stand lost loves! Norah sings the emotional part and interestingly this part is aware that this is a dream, a long summer feeling. She begins in her room: "Quiet night, you see the TVs glowing Quiet night, you hear the walls are awake" Then moves to a party: "Me and you are getting out of the party crowd" And finally to his place: "Can I see what's underneath your bed?" She realises she's fallen in love, and tries to extend the moment, looking under the bed, stay more time with guy, maybe until the milkman's working or the café' awakes. She doesn't understand why she has to wake up from this great dream, why this awesome feeling can last longer. So in this metaphor the guy is waking her up, and again she asks why so much love in the dark and so much indifference ("hate") in the light, a contrast is brought up with Suart's voice. Stuart sing a different point of view, not the guy's point of view, but rather her point of view but from a zoomed-out perspective, perhaps more rational or colder. There's another album with the same idea but not only on a single track but the whole concept of the album is a "Teen Dream", from Beach House. Another excellent song is Gotan Project's "Érase una vez", which basically says the same thing but in electrotango. Comments greatly appreciated! |

| I totally agree with owly_jr, also because of the "It seems I never got through to you" part. | |

I totally agree with sable Jester, he's just saying he's high. I think the "highly suspicious" thing is about smoking-weed-paranoia. By the way, what is to "dot your i's"? Anyone? |

While optimistic, it is indeed a very sad song. I don't think the shadows are the past, I rather think that the sun (because of the sunsent) is behind me and my shadow is in front of me. So there might be other shadows. Then the "stop chasing shadows" could be "focus on the *real* things", not the illusions. Beautiful song, beautiful album. |
