The Minnow and the Trout

I love the message of this song To me it means that even though we're all different we can still help eachother out I mean, it's so true we are all connected in one way or another

While obvious, the use of allegory is very nice. Though we are raised to be sworn enemies, if we can just understand that we all come from the same source (and will one day all return to that same source) then maybe we could get over our differences and start helping each other out!

This is probably my favorite song by A Fine Frenzy. I fell in love with it when I heard them play it live. It just has a really heartwarming message to it and is a beautiful song.

this song reminds me of when i used to go hiking at this special spot with my best friend. we were big time dorks as we sang "& i said pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease, i know that we're different..."

brings back great memories.

listened to this song alot when i was learning about evolution in biology.

used to think it was my good luck charm for that class.

<3 still love the song.

the line...'we were one cell in the sea in the beginning' says it all, i think.

I think these are the correct lyrics:

Help me out said the minnow to the trout I was lost and found Myself swimming in your mouth Help me chief I've got to plans for you and me I swear upon this riverbed I'll help you feel young again

Not your everyday circumstance Hummingbird Taking coffee with the ants And I said

Please, I know that we're different We were one cell in the sea in the beginning And what we're made of was all the same once We're not that different after all

Help me out said the eagle to the dove I've fallen from my nest so high above Help me fly I am too afraid try Now saddled with a fear of heights I'm praying you can set me right

Not your everyday circumstance Elephant Sharing peanuts with the rats And I said

Please, I know that we're different We were one cell in the sea in the beginning And what we're made of was all the same once We're not that different after all

We are tied in history Connected like a family

Please, I know that we’re different We were one cell in the sea in the beginning And what we’re made of was all the same once All the same We’re not that different after all

It's pretty self-explanatory.

the correct lyrics from "afinefernzy.com":

help me out, said the minnow to the trout i was lost and found myself swimming in your mouth

oh, help me chief, I’ve got plans for you and me I swear upon this riverbed, I’ll help you feel young again

oh, not your everyday circumstance the hummingbird taking coffee with the ants, and I said

please, I know that we’re different but we were one cell in the sea in the beginning and what we’re made of was all the same once we’re not that different after all help me up, said the eagle to the duck I’ve fallen from my nest so high above oh, help me fly, I am too afraid to try now saddled with a fear of heights I’m praying you can set me right

oh, not your everyday circumstance the elephant sharing peanuts with the rats, and I said

please, I know that we’re different but we were one cell in the sea in the beginning and what we’re made of was all the same once we’re not that different after all

we are tied in history, wide-connected like a family we are tied in history, wide-connected like a family, a family...

so please, I know that we’re different but we were one cell in the sea in the beginning and what we’re made of was all the same once we’re not that different after all

Gorgeous.

This is such a nice song.

As said above, it's about how we're not all that different and we all came from the same place.

Well it's definitely a controversial song! About evolution I mean.
