Another beautiful song by DeVotchKa. It has similar musical qualities to both 'How it Ends' and 'Queen of the Surface Streets'. I wonder if they are all apart of telling a larger story? Of course 'Queen of the Surface Streets' could perhaps be about a prostitute whom the singer's fallen in love with so only so much comparison can be drawn. Any band whilch emplys a tuba, tuba violin, and theremin combined with such precision percussion makes me giddy. And sometimes makes me want to wail in sorrow. |

Of course the beautiful thing is that the same set of words can apply to so many things. I had a chance to ask the amazing tuba girl about the lyrics and she said Nick never has atually written them out for the world, because he wants everyone to garner from it what they will, and that sometimes what people determine the lyrics to mean or even be are better (for each individual) than what the artist may have intended. I think that's so true and this song can apply to relationsships, the inevitability of death, whatever it may be. But it certainly has an emotional wistfulness about it -a howling at the moon quality which i feel Nick Urata shares with Thom Yorke. No matter what the song may mean to you, there's no doubt it evokes an emotional response. |
