Devendra Banhart – Never Seen Such Good Things Lyrics 12 years ago
There's definitely a change in Devendra's style! At the moment, one can find only three songs fully available on the internet - youtube - from the new album Mala due to come in March this year. It's quite clear from these three songs, Devendra's current appearance (he's so good looking anyway!) and recent interviews that his artistic stance is a little sadder than his light hearted songs.
I think Never Seen Such Good Things Go So Wrong sings about a relationship with a beautiful start ("such good things go so wrong"), but in which the male character is unable to find a much needed, strong love ("won't you leave your mark on me"). Making love is no longer an intimate activity. He resigns himself and continues to be with his lady, who is likely the one in the relationship who actually is in love ("sad lady you win").
Love Devendra xx
