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...
though the moon's not very bright
It's a very attractive sight
this fair and starry night
watching barristers in flight
See them disappear from sight
on this fair and starry night
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
watching solicaters in flight
See them hovering like kites
on this fair and starry night
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

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.
