Camera Obscura - Books written for girls

[mbscottify]

Such a gorgeous song. I could listen to Camera Obscura for hours and hours. Completely and utterly in love with this.

[ThePremierDeluxe]

I wish she would smile

[MrKal4ever]

for 5:18 mins i everything around me went quite and all i could hear was the song

[suman3ck]

this song was awesome ... i cant stop to hear that ,

[GD3dguy]

[chancesare]

[AideeJennifer]

I use to cry to this. Its a very lovely song. One of my favorites.

[palopilus]

[cainwenjun]

Try Asian women # oneman4u.info #

[stilocean]

who hurt you?? :(

[dcmushi]

aww 2008 :(

[yadidis]

its a nice song! think separation is ok You're no star to guide me anyway

You only wanted me to play the fool 

[WET415]

my all time favorite

[zhbvenkhoReload]

I think this a beautiful song, but I am having problems trying to understand it... somebody would help me out?

Thanks!

[ellshot]

@zhbvenkhoReload verse1: being judged, falling short of expectations, she knows shes disappointing him as she sees through his false smiles. verse2: he likes to portray himself as a man of the world (a veil), get his thrills from things you would never know hes thrilled by ("darkest places"), he would disappoint you if you saw through his false smile because you would see that his "culture" is a veil and you would see where his true thrills come from (which are assumingly not appealing/good).

[ellshot]

@zhbvenkhoReload chorus: seperating is ok cos hes not a good example for living, he wanted to control her and use her as a means to his veil. verse3: door = entry to her heart, rain = tears, so entry to her heart is more difficult (swollen) as a result of the sadness by this guy so shes shut herself away too, shes one example of how people can become shattered as a result of failed love, hes one example of how you can become disappointed by seeing through false smiles/veil. lovely song :)

[IzzyWonka]

youre not the star to guide me anyway (:

[ohvultura]

This song breaks my heart.  So plain and beautiful...when she says the line about him wanting her to play the fool...it does me in. Such a beautiful voice!

[79mojorisin]

try finding one of their albumns in USA. almost impossible.....

[jayrothfritz]

@79mojorisin no kidding. I think "almost impossible" is a bit of an understatement.

[rr818]

@jayrothfritz found my maudlin career and underachievers very easily at borders

[thingsTheater]

@rr818 I also found Maudlin Career and Underachievers at Borders. If they're not there, people can always order it at borders (dot) com and then pick it up in store. Easy. Or buy on iTunes.

[HeronOfHeaven]

@79mojorisin that's why they named their album as Underachievers Please Try Harder.

[7kurosawa7]

stupenda

[trebleclefts]

Coolest band in the Universe.......

[burningface]

Wow. What a wonderful song...

[boboxp]

It's because you're gay. No big deal.

[idchilton]

"People get shattered in many ways" - this line breaks my heart and I'm not entirely sure why.

[boboxp]

girls aren't sweet or original or unique. often times they stink more than boys. In fact it's quite scary most times what is going on down there with most of them. They ain't no angels.

[SvalbardJanMayen1976]

@boboxp yeah, but they make the world go round, and I love 'em for it, girls are top shelf in my book. Girls I love ya!!!!!

[boboxp]

@SvalbardJanMayen1976. If "They make the world go round" than you're fag. No big deal.

[SvalbardJanMayen1976]

@boboxp I'm sorry if girls hate you mate, a lot of fellas have that same problem, I guess fags like me don't have that problem cuz we respect 'em and take care of 'em, treat 'em like gold.

[SvalbardJanMayen1976]

@boboxp besides, you're 42 and "want to be a fashion icon"?? How many feather boas are you wearing right now mate??? The pink one looks good on you, trust me!

[weetzybat]

@boboxp youre annoying as fuck, very big deal

[MrRoygbiv24]

Who's the 3 morons who hit the wrong button! Thumbs up if your with me!

[EtaKarinae87]

Esta canción me hace sentir identificada... :( , cuando descubrí que todo era mentira, y que había otra mina de por medio...

[PradaWilly]

this has always been my fave song of theirs. James comes a close second : )

[tiewebb]

belle & sebastian were her best days

[precinctful]

@tiewebb Saying something or someone isn't as good as Belle and Sebastian is the worst insult I can imagine. I'm not saying your wrong cos i cant bring myself to listen to any of this crap but still...

[tiewebb]

@precinctful Oh well,different strokes for different folks,peace

[idchilton]

@tiewebb That was Isobel Campbell, this is Tracyanne

[enlavida111]

Obra de arte.

[mcampero02]

One of the most beautiful songs ever!!!!

[poeticised]

lovely lyrics! (:

[jamierourketen]

beautiful and wonderful

[DejaVuSu]

What a lovely song...never heard it. But fell immediately in love :) Great post!

[10RNAPOE]

love this music!!!

[zombiewh0reface]

NOm nom nom

[conyew3st]

love this song!

[timdb85]

This is the first song I heard by them. I heard it on the radio and then forgot the lyrics but then heard it again later that night and remembered them, looked them up, then nothing was the same since them--they're my favorite band. I just saw them live in my hometown too. :)

[Quoquoddilstane]

Spare yet sublime. I could listen to this all day. The steel guitar really complements Tracyanne's voice.

[inshreds45]

Up there with the best songs ever written.

[SaturnR1]

So much knowledge within really good lyrics. This band just does IT for me. Even w/ their choice of instruments.

[nismo6750]

my ex girlfriends also wrote this song for me!

[JCMELKOR]

I feel like this was written by my ex-gf, for me. I nostalgia'd

[saku19uchimaki]

I LOVE THIS SONG <3

[gzuz9]

i love this band:)

[Thewildflow]

This song almost makes me cry everytime...almost too much! I can't listen to it very often, especially by myself, but is gorgeous despite it's innate and powerful lonesome sound.

[wanwomgirl]

This song is so beautiful. I love Camera Obscura.

[dosometh1ngpretty]

She is just beautiful.

[Zontertes]

i'm in love with Traceyanne Campbell

[ADeBru]

@Zontertes duh

[lovewontchange]

[Melda12345]

Oh me too! It was my fist song too!

=D

[RichardBLongly]

i keep trying to finish this song and haven't been able yet

it's too much

i'll keep trying though

B\

[Thewildflow]

I feel ya <3

[barbocci]

the pink teddy bear in the pic is gorgeous ! love the song ... sad .. but lovely

[trebleclefts]

I just SO love this for so many reasons, need to remove the string 'squeek' but her voice on this is just amazing and the may she almost wispers some of the words, it is just beautiful. Hope to catch them live soon.

[mindmanifestation]

I am going to see them tomorrow, so excited!!!

[remindbender]

style:excite ed.

VORFREUDE ist die schönste ohne reue :))

[inshreds45]

Did you enjoy it?

[mindmanifestation]

Yes, It was amazing, I was just smiling the whole time without any particular reason. Totally worth it!!!

[najbjergpoulsen]

yes yes yes

[rqezvl]

Love it! Hats off to the producer for keeping it sparse and not layered with synth & crap

[tatelabianca]

great observation! lovely, transparent touch to the production, letting the song breath. cheers

[gwelsh123]

shes got a lovely voice

[esiotrot17]

unbelievable. I come undone when I listen to this.

[whookairs]

this song is so sad and amazing

[johnchiwilson]

Just beautiful...

[usemeup100]

your hair is superb and as for your dress sense; 10/10!

[CHATMOSSMAN]

@usemeup100 who me? oh thanks

[danielinziv]

Esto me hace acordar a mi querida Tamiecita, cha que bonita es!

[tamiacarolina]

Cha que me haces siempre sonreir. te recontrahipersúper quiero dani.

[kovalevMTL]

She is my dream girl!

[livethedrugs]

Her voice!

Oh my god!

[hjt123]

Best voice I have ever heard. Period.

[kolowe]

I love it!!! Xd

[blower1]

[Lindseyclaire0890]

[knkgupa]

I love this song. It has magic

[modernlovers77]

lovely :)

[inshreds66]

Beautiful.

[mydollyrots]

soo fucking fragile and beautiful i love it.

[bookswise]

yet, what you said, was not.

[wizzolf]

that was funny but you are a prick, monkey dick.

[timdb85]

Only the most delicate, mournful, and penetrating of songs.

[Seachd12]

That's a wee gem of a song. Never make the Brit awards though ,which is another plus.

[MyYellowBrickWall]

haha!

[FlorrieDugger]

@Seachd12 Agree!

[rockabillychickee]

her voice is so nice to listen to. i was able to just close my eyes and rly enjoy the song

(thnx so much rick!)

[deibbasoraya]

I agree, words, simplicity, the whole thing. Do not know a band like them! Her voice is pure, her own, non-manufactured,just like an angel. She performs a girls dream. The dreams us girls have about simplicity. The words are really powerful, non-pretentious, not about sex etc..... make me feel wholesome and awesome. Going to see them in sept, woooooohooooo! They have tickets on sale now, check on the net b4 they all go!X

[aaronb01]

ROCKKKYYYY

[greenkiwi01]

from mexico here too, every song of theirs is wonderful!

[CasualBantam]

Jaw-droppingly beautiful track. Marry me Tracyanne.

[Havenscope]

The album cover alone is fantastic in its own way. Honestly one of the best songs I've heard from one of the most innovative bands I've heard.

[ElectricPlayground12]

I love them,

pure bliss on a bad day.

[whoispink]

I love this... I just knew Belle and Sebastian a few weeks ago, and Now Camera Obscura... Thank You Scotland !

Greetins from Mexico.

[ryanhancock1234]

!!!!!!!!!i love this like breakfast cereal

[ladyundergroud]

i love their style

[Zestkick]

Great little band.

The lead singer looks like Adrian from the first Rocky film in that photo!

[niceverdict]

I got the acoustic version of this song...

[onetwothreekissme]

this is such a beautiful song... she has a very nice voice.

[trixyminx]

I love this song, girls voice is really nice.

[kolowe]

me facina esta cancion porque es magnificaaa!!!!!!!

[chach4]

melting

[PLEROMAZERO]

...jesus, i need some drink!!!

[rockambolesca]

AGREED!

[venusbjork]

una combinación entre tristeza, melancolía y suavidad hecho de una manera muy intima

amo a estos chicos!!

[sams5854]

This song suits Traceyanne's voice much better than up-tempo songs like "Lloyd I'm Ready" and "If Looks Could Kill". She doesn't have the strongest voice, but her sweet, gentle vocals blend beautifully with the music here. :)

[JuliaCezaria]

oh, I just love it!

[MJCastellanos]

amazing lyrics and a nice voice, I think she has way more potential. a bit stronger would be unbeleivable

[harrayhorror]

Understated is way better. The Scottish way. This can't be improved upon. And the steel guitar just blows me away.That's a reference to the c & w most of us Scots (and Orcadians) grew up with.

[patrickbmxchile]

yo tambien te amo

[patrickbmxchile]

yo tambien te amo aunque

[harybosco]

strikes a personal chord with me....lryics are spot on something rather undiscovered in my musical travels.

[Raill]

LOVE THIS SONG :)

[thefrozencharles]

yo TE amo(:!

[mikep85]

Love this song.

[eariorith]

[DehydratedManatee]

Breathtakingly beautiful

[slapabitchhhh]

[anticoolguy00]

[flordelocos]

[jalanis242469]
