Fancy Claps Lyrics
maybe I was wrong... I dont know but the music in this is really good.
Favorite wolf parade song. :) I always hear..."we can sing through cracks in the crossbeams", however.
'When I die, I'm leaving you my feet When you die, you can stand up for me We can lie in a homemade canoe You can put me in your hair I'll be happy there'
i love the word-play there. along with grounds for divorce, this is my favorite on apologies to the queen mary.
This song is so experimental and simply wonderful. Did anyone else hear that they were signed by Issac Brock?
I'll try to be pragmatic.
Love song. But not a good kind of love... The home versus hair versus old age dynamic means that the love is old. They'll be together in the end, but not before then. I mean, sure, discover the love. Yearn for it. But old age is when they can finally get over themselves and have a "we."
THEN, as in when that happens, there might be some deficiencies ("cracks") in the love. But they'll still sing to each other. Like those birds that sing each other love songs? Yeah.
But that will have to wait, because this is a hard romance and a bitter love.
BUT, it's assuring the girl that there will be a good love to come. They'll be sacrificing and loving and shit in the end. So he's telling her to calm down and wait, wait for the good love. Even if it's a tragic love because it's close to death, it's a good one.
Yeah, tragedy. You can hear it in his voice. And the intro is amazing, js.
what?!? nothing? I love this song.... this songs about a girl he loves. its pretty self explanitory.
Seems to me it's about getting older and even eventually dying. The 'When hair has fallen out' sentece implicates that. But more than that it's about enjoying the time you get during your life and making the most of it.
Just my 0,02 though :)
i agree with obsessed. it's very much seems to be about dying. "we'll be home then we'll be home then we can sing and we'll be home then" it sounds a lot like angels singing. that's a little religious though.... i'm not sure if they'd use that
home is such a relative term. personally i have no idea where i should call my home (from having moved a fair few times during my 20 years and trying to cope with it and yto fit in etc). so this home could be anything. for me, home is something you can always come back to, whoever you are and whatever you've done, wherever you've been. so for me home would be something i'm completely bound to, but i have idea if such a thing exists. so maybe i'll know when hair has fallen out.
hmm, sorry about the typo's. i just woke up.
"but i have no idea if such a thing exists"
