Noah and the Whale - Jocasta

[bartieboy93]

tom is quite tall isn't he? how tall is he? does anyone know?

[DancingDead02]

Needs some electric guitars and distortion.

Oh and the vocals should be screamed.

[Meteddica]

@DancingDead02 No.

[EmmaEmmaa95]

@DancingDead02 ew D:

[KillKillKillThemAlll]

[betterbquietnow]

spadehatesscrewtube is right. It's "in my lucid moments I can see"

[wowwowwiwow]

The songs based on the greek myth. :)

[uuuz6]

They are far better musicians and song writers than mumford they are epic 

[diriven]

@uuuz6 Mumford and Sons used to open for them.

[Volendammtje]

Mumford & Sons!

[theoblues]

One of the best indie bands I've ever heard.

[diriven]

@theoblues They're not Indie...they're signed by both Cherrytree Records and Vertigo. Indie has lost its real meaning and become vague and meaningless genre that is made up of a shit mix of musical styles that people don't want to label as well known rock, folk, pop, alternative (which is another vague genre)...etc.

Though I agree, they are a very good band.

[spadehatesscrewtube]

Oh the world

Still decieves you as it turns

Well in my weakest moments I could see

actually, "in my lucid moments i can see"

[chelseafcfan17]

old school jonas brothers? but wayyyyy better

[tpot91]

@chelseafcfan17 Comparing these guys to jonas is like comparing dirt to gold. (Jonas bros are dirt)

[ohnofoshohoe]

@chelseafcfan17 I wouldn't even compare them to the hobros. Noah and the Whale's steeze levels are surpassingly too epic for those sorry excuses for music.

[emerica1mason]

@chelseafcfan17 kill yourself, right now...

[mikelitoris14]

@chelseafcfan17 no not even close....just cause a couple of them have black curly hair? genre of music isnt even close. and old school? wtf, no. someone is not very current on trends, talk to a kid who looks like he shops at a thrift store but is actually mad rich, he'll be able to tell you all about the hipster trend.

[diriven]

@chelseafcfan17 Haha you are either joking or a very confused person.

[IwillMOOforyou]

:) But if you turn your hands to flames Oh the light will burn the same Whether you just pass it through Or if it s what you meant to do And your sense of culpability Is from the Gods that you perceive Their constant love that you believe will show you grace As you turn into a ghost Oh but now the love you found Has laid you in the muddy ground Oh but death will let you down Because your curse will still go on the same

[DarkWitchArizona]

love noah and the whale

is this about Jocasta in Oedipus rex?

[BermudaNiinja]

Yep, "turn the baby to the snow" pretty much...I don't know too many ladies nowadays called jocasta :P

[DarkWitchArizona]

o ok thnx, wasn't sure at first.

[mndama]

@DarkWitchArizona I thought the same thing. But I'm not sure.

[thehellrat]

omg, these guys are hillarious.

[deathgatorz]

hmm this isnt my usual type of song but i love these guys. xD

[thorclar]

Holy crap this is amazing. So glad I heard their music.

[spadehatesscrewtube]

you do know its "in my lucid moments" and not "in my weakest moments" right? thanks :)

[pacoastroloco]

muy bueno

[Lynxstripe]

[rawrpaigebby]

[jeffytheduck]

Awesome, I love this band. Anyone else notice the Jeff Mangum in his voice?

[deadpoeticgirl]

[lamplighteyes]

Moral of the story. Never have sex with your mother. Right?

[goldfishinaglass]

Going to see them in September! Woo : D

[Chiara503]

I love this song <3

[JamieeTheGreat]

GOD is LAura Marling everywhere thre's violins?

[xSangel99X]

Oh, as the wheel spins

Oh, well it plays as they believed

And for your husband you have grieved

Oh, the world

Still deceives you as it turns

Well in my lucid moments I could see

Oh, that the heart may be the weakest part of me

Oh, and the moon controls

The movements of the tide

But it has no weight on the movements of my mind

[xSangel99X]

Real, full lyrics: When the baby's born Oh, let's turn it to the snow So that ice will surely grow Over weak and brittle bones Oh, let's leave it to the wolves So their teeth turn it to food Oh, it's flesh keeps them alive Oh, it's death helps life survive Oh, the world can be kind in its own way Oh, well your future's a machine With the mechanics of a dream And it's your mind that spins the wheel And your heart that makes you feel All the guilt for all your sins

[jaakeey]

im starting to get into this band!

[heatrag]

this song makes me feel so happy inside

[lspears142]

Hello, thanks for putting this vid up, it's so hard to find one with good quality...

Fantastic song!! :D:D

As others have mentioned, in the lyrics, it is 'lucid moments' not wekest moments, and I have added the full accurate set of the lyrics to the song after this comment...

Danke.

[AUBRI92]

is it laura marling singing also???

[MarkMcfoolingston101]

moi

[MarsVolta73]

Just so you all know, Jocasta refers to the queen of Thebes and wife and mother of Oedipus in Oedipus Tyrannus. To stop her fortune that her baby (Oedipus) would kill the parents, she had him taken away to die in the wild, but Oedipus was saved by a shepherd, who somehow made him prince of another city-state. He returned and saved Thebes after accidentally killing his father on the road, thus becoming king and marrying his mother, without knowing it was her until the end. She kills herself.

[lummy00]

you're lame

[fromdespair2where]

i'm sure its "lucid moments" not "weakest moments"

[spadehatesscrewtube]

agreed.

[sirgecko]

@fromdespair2where Yeah is there any way that the poster of this can change that. It is really annoying.

[SouSurvivor]

its beautiful =]

[chilpups]

Wow.

Sounds great!

[TheSaintST1]

IS THIS the same group that made the track 'Change Me'..? Can anyone get this up somewhere..

[sbfan1yo]

I dont like the beat to this song, but the lyrics are amazing. <3

[nicolasmeza]

I like this song .... I like it...

[Marsymphony]

Just amazing, I'm feel flying ahead the clouds..

Thx

[BikeManDan1]

So glad I found Noah and the Whale, this song makes me happy :)

[SouSurvivor]

this is my favorite song of theirs :)

[azimuth457]

Any chance you could send me an mp3 of this?

[haza123456789]

i can share it for you if you want

[twizzle124]

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, :D

[ladyBUGnotbird]

super sweet.

[Mjukje]

so are you! <3

[pieballz]

"the heart may be the weakest part of me."

<3

[monkey492000]

I love this song. I wonder if they based it on Oedipus and the king it sounds like it with the hole Jocasta and leaving a baby.
