Melody Day Lyrics

Melody day what have I done
Now our hearts are locked up tight again
And when I pray it's all begun
And when you smile it melts away again

Melody day where have you gone
All the hope I had has gone away
And what we had has come undone
And when you smile it melts away again
BJ! BJ!

Melody day what have I done
Now our hearts are locked up tight again
And when I pray it's all begun
And when you smile it melts away again

Tell them
Tell them I always knew why
So long
So long to say goodbye
BJ! BJ!

This is one of the best songs i have heard this year. The lyrics are pretty straightforward, but i think most of the meaning lies in the lush arrangement of sounds. It's about the disillusionment and disappointment that occurs after you realize a relationship is not what you originally thought it was.

More people need to know about this awesome band.

what about what he says at around the 1:09 mark? i can't make it out at all!

i actually thought this song was less about a relationship that snaith didn't want and more about a relationship the other person didn't want with snaith.. but then, who knows.. .

this (as well as sandy, irene, etc) is a seriously close-to-perfect song.

"what about what he says at around the 1:09 mark? i can't make it out at all!"

I had to listen very closely and.. I had to repeat the song several times to draw out that text at the end. I hope it's right.. I think it's right.. ?

ok, at the risk of sounding deaf,. . it sounds as if Snaith is saying 'DJ', or something similar, around the 1:11 mark, in that chorus-y part. . . but, what does that mean?

sounds like BJ to me.

Cover art for Melody Day lyrics by Caribou

i think he's saying 'be there' if you watch the video of them performing this song in the pink room you can see him say it

Cover art for Melody Day lyrics by Caribou

ahh, cool. 'be there' makes sense.

Cover art for Melody Day lyrics by Caribou

He's not saying VJ or BJ or Be there, he's saying Bejae, or however it's spelt. It's the name of a girl he fancied in school and thought she had a very beautiful name, and somehow all these years later it wound up floating in the middle of the song. From the horse's mouth...

Did you hear that at his Becks Festival Bar show? (Taking a guess, based on the inclusion of syd in your name, and the fact that you posted the day after the show :)
