It's a Very Starry Night Lyrics

It's a very starry night
though the moon's not very bright
It's a very attractive sight
this fair and starry night

It's a very starry night
watching barristers in flight
See them disappear from sight
on this fair and starry night

Though I'm by myself I am not alone
There are lots of little creatures who call this their home
And I am so aloof I'm not afraid to say
I don't know what is keeping my body from just floating away

It's a very starry night
watching solicaters in flight
See them hovering like kites
on this fair and starry night

Though I'm by myself I am not alone
There are lots of little creatures who call this their home
And I am so aloof I'm not afraid to say
I don't know what is keeping my body from just floating away

It's a very starry night...

I love this song. "& I am so loose I'm not afraid to say, I don't know what is keeping my body from just floating away." my favorite part.

I'm pretty sure it's "aloof", not "loose".

Sometimes I like to sing it to myself as "it's a very stare decisis".

one of their most beautiful songs; melancholy-beautiful.

he's depressed and utterly alone, alienated from everyone else on earth. everyone else is an anonymous "little creature".

and yet, he is entirely at peace with his melancholy solitude: "i'm not afraid to say / i don't know what is keeping my body, from just floating away." there is nothing - and no one - tying him to this world, to his life.

listen to the song; it's as sweet and peaceful as a lullaby. he soothes us, lulls us to sleep with such a sad, lonely commentary.

this is of montreal's magic - combining startling (sometimes incomprehensible) lyrics with upbeat (or, in this case, downbeat) tunes.
