I have that version, if you want can give it to you. I speak spanish and in the beginning it's a woman. like someone on radio show story telling. It translates like this "Where, He felt vilent Beacause him confronted with such lack of feminine beauty... He just didn't know what to do She was like a miling cow, And she was Hiiiideous" then a little jingle says " She is a milking cow Not just any cow" I always wondered why these words, i think it means a man being with an ugly woman, perhaps a woman rich in a sense. And having intercourse in the sea. because some of the lines like "beat the skins and let the loose lips kiss you clean quietly pour out like light like light, like answering the sun" Or " more to mine than fact face name and monetary" Without those lines i think it's about receiving Baptism in water, or Death. |

Been fan of Tv on the radio for long time but heard this song for the first time today. And i am crying, it is so achingly beautiful. It hit me. And you can't fully get it without having a personal and family history of pain, trauma. How the stories repeat themselves generation after generation, because parenting style, is product of what the parent experienced as a child neglect, violence or abuse. This song for me is about, healing how when you find a person who can understand your personal history, and when one can face and overcome, escape the circle of pain. It is about And the search for a place, for a house on a mountain filled with light. A safe place of love. Like the cycle stops with us, we will not pass this to our children, and won't nurture the seeds of evil. Because your upbringing might not have prepared you for a fulfilling loving life. And it is a struggle to get there. This Reminds me of the end of "The Outliers, A history of success" By Malcom Gladwell Novel: In the end he writes about Living in the beautiful house on the mountain. |
