Teardrop (Massive Attack cover) Lyrics
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Feathers on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Feathers on my breath
Night, nights of matter
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Feathers on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath
You're stumbling into all
You're stumbling into all.
Love is a doing word
Feathers on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Feathers on my breath
Feathers on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Feathers on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath
Feathers on my breath
You're stumbling into all.

Jose did a beautiful awe-inspiring cover of Massive Attack's song, Teardrop. I absolutely love playing his songs on my acoustic with nylon strings.. But this is one of my favourites to play, along with The Nest, How Low.. well, pretty much every song to be honest. He's great.
Elizabeth Fraser (singer of the Cocteau Twins, who sang on Massive Attack's Teardrop,) sings "fearless" and not "feathers." And also at the end, she sings "Stumbling a little". I do like the quirks when people cover songs and change the words, for example another cover of this song (Newton's cover) he ends with "You're stumbling in the dark, Stumbling in the dark."
So for others' interpretations on the meanings of this song, check out the Massive Attack one: http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/44600/
And of course the other covers for even more opinions. Watch the original music video, that will give you great insight.. a fetus in the womb, singing. That's far out.
uhm, i think there are some issues with these lyrics. feathers=fearless and nights, night of matter=Nine, nights of matter. take a look at the original: http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/44600/.

@Phaoenix She actually sings, "Feathers on my breath." It can sound like "Fearless..." to some, but she definitely says, Feathers.

The video sucks, but the most beautiful song ever....
Ok... correction from the official booklet of In our nature - José González:
Love, love is a verb Love is a doing word Feathers on my breath Gentle impulsion Shakes me makes me lighter Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession Feathers on my breath
Night, nights of matter Black flowers blossom Feathers on my breath Black flowers blossom Feathers on my breath
Water is my eye Most faithful mirror Feathers on my breath Teardrop on the fire of a confession Feathers on my breath Most faithful mirror Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire Feathers on my breath

@Christiaan33 The last line in the original song is actually, "He was tumbling in the tow", which references how Jeff Buckley drowned. The song is about him.

i used to love this. but then newton faulkner did a version of it aswell, and just completely ruined it for me :( lol
Great cover! And the video is very enigmatic. but anybody has said what it´s about...
Typo: It's "Fearless on my breath", not feathers. :) beautiful song. amazing lyrics, I prefer this version to the Massive Attack one.
