It is a female voice but I think she sings from the point of view of the protagonist of the film Synecdoche, New York. This is highlighted in the lyric "miss my little kid and wife". But it can be used interchangeably, I mean, many people feel small in this world.
Sad as it is, this seems to be the way of our time. A time of praising Individualism has made us believe that I am separate from You. And therefore I am doomed to be alone IN this world.
What we are forgetting, and what I believe this song is pointing out, is that I am as much separate from this world, and from You, as my arm is separate from my leg.
@xxcityescape I'm 27, lived the last 10 years feeling scared and depressed. Only now did i find something to build my life around that makes me feel good and confident. Sorry that you feel that, I relate and can't ignore your comment. No one should feel that at 16, your life is YOURS. Set yourself an objective that will make you happy.
All the best to you. If you ever want to let off some steam we can exchange e-mails through PM.
Shes describes a very robotic/auto pilot type life as she realizes her own "smallness" but within that smallness she's able to see the beauty and uniqueness in being just another story in a endless book and comes to an understanding that "life is presious, every minute." I guess its also a love song because it seems that even though she has this point of view she still wants somebody to share it with. I love the honesty in this song. Charlie Kaufman (the director) is a great song writer.
@ElementDaEmcee I think you're interpreting this song in too positive a light: it's more about loneliness and escapism than self-knowledge and gaining perspective. It's pretty obvious that she feels her "smallness" as a burden and an obstacle to her happiness that she doesn't know how to overcome. Since she can't find a way to escape her "size," she spends her time dreaming about some savior who will make her feel large and somehow help her to lead the meaningful life she wants.
I love this song. It always felt like she reached a certain level of awareness and became aware of how small she really is. How small we all our. Like she realized that her life was just a grain of sand on a endless beach compared to the vastness of not only other peoples stories but of Everything! So what does that make us as indiviuals? "Just a little person in a sea of many litte people who are not aware of me"
Then again, in the song, the narrator never actually finds their companion, meaning that the entire song is all just a cry of hopefulness from a lonely man who has an average life. Who is stuck in the motions. Who swims in a sea crammed with fish but noticed by none.
That other little person- not necessarily intimate- but that other little person who realizes their situation. The one who they can see each other and immediately feel sympathy and compassion, because no matter how insignificant this life may be in the end that other person can at least mask the outcome which is why she ironically sings that life is precious only when she is with the other person.
She did not write the song, and thusly, is not singing from her own perspective. "Miss my little kid and WIFE." Now, she could be a lesbian, but that makes me doubtful.
Moving on.
For me, the song is about insignificance. A little person doing little things, typically missing their family. This person realizes this, how every ~little~ thing they do does not change anything, because it all leads into the same wall at the end. The point is that... They are looking for-
Ah... que hermosa cancion... y la pelicula es grandiosa... hay que darle merito a la banda de sonido tambien, porque es hermosa en su totalidad. Tal vez debieron agregar la intro donde Olive (Sadie Goldstein) canta... no la puedo dejar de escuchar!.
And I want to fuck you until we merge into a Chimera, a mythical beast of penis and vagina, eternally fused, two pairs of eyes that look only at each other, and lips, ever touching, and one voice that whispers to itself.
Does anyone have any insight into melody, motives, rhythm, meter, harmony, texture
timbre, form, or dynamics for this song? I need them for my music class and I'm terrible at this sort of thing, but I love the song and the movie which is why I chose it.
this song made me apprecciate the whole movie a LOT more. I think without this song at the end I still wouldn't know what to think of it. Jon Brion rocks simply EVERY TIME.
@ChristopherspaceWaid You're right, its not just normal sadness but a 'mood' the whole mood of the song is depressing and subdued, not cry-worthy but something much profound.
One of the most amazing songs that I've ever heard from one of the most amazing movies I've ever seen. Probably the most amazing movie I've ever seen. That movie really hits me hard, and I watch it repeatedly just so that I can remind myself to feel. Charlie Kaufman really is my hero.
I saw this movie last week and it left me profoundly depressed and with an existential crisis. What a mind fuck. I'd say this is the most depressing movie I have ever seen.
This song is so sad. She's singing about a positive life, and how precious her life is, but it doesn't sound like she's happy. It sounds like she's trying to believe what she's saying, but can't.
@kilibot The song is about being alone. She hasn't found that other little person yet. So yes, she's very sad. She's not happy trying to believe she's happy. I'm not trying to upset you or anything, but you have the song a bit backwards. When she talks about life being precious, she's citing a conversation she hasn't had yet with the other little person she is imagining she'll meet someday.
@kilibot What was once before you - an exciting, mysterious future - is now behind you. Lived; understood; disappointing. You realize you are not special. You have struggled into existence, and are now slipping silently out of it. This is everyone's experience. Every single one. The specifics hardly matter. Everyone's everyone.
@kilibot I don't think she doubts that life, in the abstract, is precious - she sounds like she's desperately awaiting the arrival of this kindred soul so that she can finally treat it like the treasure that it is - but yeah, she's definitely very unhappy. Your last sentence is beautifully put, by the way. :)
I send my love to you, mister Brion. You write all of my favourite music, set to some of my favourite films. You've certainly earned your place in paradise, if there is one.
Thanks for posting this. I saw this at the cinema and sat through the entire credits listening to this song, both as the film had blown me away that much that I had to sit and absorb it and because the lyrics and tone felt as much a part of the film.
I'd not seen the artwork in this video but it is also fantastic at encapsulating the film. Such beauty and detail on the stage and yet the isolation of the main character in the stalls is what stands out. Amazing film and amazing song.
I heard this song on the Casey Wilson "Funny or Die" video...it sounded familiar, I forget it was from that movie. What a beautiful song! You know who it would be perfect for? Liza Minnelli lol :-)
I don't have a favourite film... but this is without a doubt the most affecting film I've ever seen. The theme songs perfectly captures a lot of what I find so moving about the movie. Job well done to Charlie Kaufman, Jon Brion, and everyone else involved in the making of this film.
I haven't seen the film, it's on my list. I wonder how many of us hope to find that special person to "fix" us when in effect what we really need is to "fix" ourselves. I am sure we would all love a Hollywood ending.
I thought Jennifer Jason Leigh was the best actor in this movie, she was so evil and nasty to poor Caden and the fight scene was brilliant. Top class acting and cast throughout. This movie is a real slow burner and i find myself sitting on the bus thinking about parts of the story, it needs to be watched a few times to really really get it. Hoffman is the best actor working today, outstanding in every role he plays
This was an incredibly special movie for me as it left me feeling deflated and unsure whether I existed. By this |I mean it is easily the best film of 2008.
just finished watchin this movie. 2 things, WOW and whaaaaaat? I got totally lost durin this movie at some stages, but I got the essence of what was being said, but the short sweet bit that I did understand blew me away. Charlie Koffman and every single actor in a leading role (which is every single character) did an amazing job!
i think if you cal yourself an artist, in whatever field, and this movie doesn't strike a chord with you (in my case earth-shattering) then you should change profession.
Can anybody really say what Genre this falls into? I'd love to find more music in this vein. If you say Jazz, please say what branch on the jazz tree.
The people who like an appreciate and can truly empathize with the character in this movie should stick together. Maybe we don't have to meet the same fate.
Wow, I just saw the trailer for this movie and it's already one of my favorites. The title of the movie is genius and the music and imagery seem absolutely beautiful, dark and inviting. I really do hope this movie is excellent. I can't imagine it being anything else other than what it seems.
i got a weird qwuirk...i love to dedicate my favorite songs to family members...this one id like to dedicate to the center of my universe...my 2 yr old granddaughter "Maleena" aka "Nina"....you've completed my existence.. LOVE YOU BABY
One of my favourite movies of all time coupled with one of my favourite songs, both written by charlie kaufman. Trully astouding to think of what Kaufman and Phillip Seymour Hoffman did with this film. They both deserved oscars in my opinion. The film is one of the very few films which i can safely say is totally original, and i know i will continue to watch it over many more times, and see things i didnt see before, and take different meaning from it.
@lukemul this is also one of my very favourite films but original? that's a laugh! this film is absolutely crammed with barely veiled literary influences from Pinter to Kafka to Eliot, and I'll bet there's plenty of cinematic influence which I wouldn't likely notice.
@simonx49 Original in the sense that kaufman has spoken about the fact that the film industry is dead, thanks to the trends which every film seems to follow these days, like boy meets girl, falls in love, ect ect. This film follows none of those trends which is obviously something kaufman wanted to achieve, and he in my opinion, did so brilliantly. This is still the greatest film i have seen so far, and its going to take some beating.
Really, it's more fascinating that this song is pretty much about everything Caden isn't. It's not really depressing. If anything, it's the epitome of contentedness.
Does anyone know if the tiny piano part of the song from 1:21 to 1:34 was sampled from another song??? It sounds VERY familiar.

This is such a beautiful song that goes with an outstanding movie. Charlie Kaufman is the most amazing person ever.

Wow, I just saw the trailer for this movie and it's already one of my favorites. The title of the movie is genius and the music and imagery seem absolutely beautiful, dark and inviting. I really do hope this movie is excellent. I can't imagine it being anything else other than what it seems.

One of my favourite movies of all time coupled with one of my favourite songs, both written by charlie kaufman. Trully astouding to think of what Kaufman and Phillip Seymour Hoffman did with this film. They both deserved oscars in my opinion. The film is one of the very few films which i can safely say is totally original, and i know i will continue to watch it over many more times, and see things i didnt see before, and take different meaning from it.

@lukemul I agree. This was an amazing film, definitely one of the best and most original that I've ever seen.
beyondtheclouds 2 years ago 7
The movie imo was like Citizen Kane and 2001 in its scope and ambition. It was breathtaking.

you're forgetting Jon Brion in that "astounding" equation!
Robotman 1 year ago
@lukemul this is also one of my very favourite films but original? that's a laugh! this film is absolutely crammed with barely veiled literary influences from Pinter to Kafka to Eliot, and I'll bet there's plenty of cinematic influence which I wouldn't likely notice.
simonx49 10 months ago
@simonx49 Original in the sense that kaufman has spoken about the fact that the film industry is dead, thanks to the trends which every film seems to follow these days, like boy meets girl, falls in love, ect ect. This film follows none of those trends which is obviously something kaufman wanted to achieve, and he in my opinion, did so brilliantly. This is still the greatest film i have seen so far, and its going to take some beating.

Christ this song is like what goes on in the mind of a depressed person.
angelofdeath275 2 years ago
Really, it's more fascinating that this song is pretty much about everything Caden isn't. It's not really depressing. If anything, it's the epitome of contentedness.
Ibeechu 2 years ago
I can see why you'd think that, but remember the contentedness happens "Somewhere maybe someday. Maybe somewhere far away..."
The contentedness is a dream of perfection - always hoped for, but somehow never realised. That's why it's Caden's song.
