| of Montreal – It's a Very Starry Night Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
one of their most beautiful songs; melancholy-beautiful. he's depressed and utterly alone, alienated from everyone else on earth. everyone else is an anonymous "little creature". and yet, he is entirely at peace with his melancholy solitude: "i'm not afraid to say / i don't know what is keeping my body, from just floating away." there is nothing - and no one - tying him to this world, to his life. listen to the song; it's as sweet and peaceful as a lullaby. he soothes us, lulls us to sleep with such a sad, lonely commentary. this is of montreal's magic - combining startling (sometimes incomprehensible) lyrics with upbeat (or, in this case, downbeat) tunes. |
