@OldWB1 Not that interested really but must disagree, as one who spent 15 years under "religious education". The n is indeed silent in the singular noun, the n is engaged to allow vocal continuity in the plural Hymnal, a collection of singulars.
Interesting takes on this song, one of their pals may have been killed over drugs, but this is White Fang and Citizen Kane in collision.
read recently that this was about gangs and the killing of one of their friends,if you listen to it you can get it...colours etc.....on a different matter I have always loved the quote that Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did only going backwards in 4 inch heels,you cant argue with that
I always thought this song's lyrics conflicted with the music...the music is dream like and joyous... The lyrics are pretty dark... The images you've choosen seem to match that conflicting mood perfectly.
@kerrilea73 lol u wanna hear a song in which the lyrics coflict with the music! like u just described; watch the video/song all you need is hate, i bet ull like the song, not the lyrics
This is without a doubt the most creative, ingenious and clever mix of two beautiful worlds that seems light years away from each other and yet have so much energy, spontaneity and playfulness in common. Who would have ever thought to put Roger and Astaire and Fleet Foxes together...but it totally works!
great video man! i love the classic couple dancing ,it adds an extra flare of sadness to a sad & beautiful song. this band hit me right in the mind,first time i heard them. well done bro!
Most uplifting song I've heard for ages. Been listening to it all day and sent it to lots of people. I like the animated one and it was absolutely inspired to include Fred & Ginger in this one. Great stuff.

Moves on; nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.

What do the lyrics to this song mean? Is everyone's head chopped off? Is that why the scarves are red? Is that why the snow turns red?

They say in interviews that these lyrics don't really have too much meaning. They're just words that sound good with the melody/harmonies.

Isn't that " Swing time "? Pretty sure it is. That movie is amazing, just like this song.
Fuseijitsu 3 years ago
Yes it's Swingtime and Fred insisted on 47 takes to get it right by which time Ginger's feet were bleeding - but don't they make it look easy?
