Oh my gosh. I heard this song while watching old episodes of Gossip Girl so I found it and I am now the owner of their entire cd. They are a spectacular band.
Manna (Hebrew: מָן) or Manna wa Salwa (Arabic: مَنّ, Kurdish: gezo, Persian: ترنجبين), sometimes or archaically spelled mana, is the name of an edible substance that God provided for the Israelites during their travels in the desert according to the Bible.
think about it, andy is very religious and within the context of the song...
Manna is a plant. Its dried sap is used to make medicine.
People use the dried sap of manna as a laxative for constipation. They also use it as a stool softener to relieve pain during bowel movements caused by cracks around the anus (anal fissures), hemorrhoids, and rectal surgery.
How does it work?
Manna contains the chemical mannitol, which might work as a laxative to help stool move through the intestine
Yesterday my boyfriend told me about a dream he'd had: we were married and I was pregnant and he died in a car accident. He said that he thought it was because of this song and we listened to it on the drive home from school and at almost exactly "I prayed for what I thought were angels, turned out to be ambulances" we passed an ambulance. It was eerie and sad and scary, the thought of losing him, but it reminded me how much I love him and how lost I would be without him. I love you, Scott <3
@TheMilkyface the act or as some insist, art of deficating after eating Indian food: "I had a curry a few hours ago and now i can feel a hot one brewing away."
Once I realised the true meaning of this song, I sat here and cried my eyes out. I lost my best friend in a car crash. The lyrics are so passionate and full of a kind of emotion you only understand if you've been through it.
I think that he writes all these songs so that every person who listens to them can relate to them in their own way. Every song has its own special meaning to all of us.
lies. a couple examples....wolves kill whole herds of sheep without eating a single victim. lions kill other predatory species competing for the same pray and even rival prides cubs...
I've never paid for any band, ever. I officially bought tickets for me, my wife, and my indian brother. This guy is God sent people. He's music gives proof that we won't be alone when times get harder and harder, look to god my brothers and sisters!
Manchester Orchestra is the only music in the world that can supply me with tears of joy every single day.. no matter how many times i hear each song. I never want it to stop.. :')
If I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, this would be it. The most beautiful and complex song I've ever heard in my life. Nothing even comes close to this standard of perfection.
Didn't know about Manchester Orchestra 'till a couple of weeks ago....they're becoming my favorite band of all time, slowly but surely, and thats pretty damn hard when it comes to me....damn, how did you do that?
@theironmitten17 alot of his songs are about his wife from the ablum Everything to Nothing, if you REALLY look at all of them, they all lead back to her and her death in the car crash and the baby...it's really sad :( but yes, the song is about some kind of death, probably his wife.
@goldfishgiggles is about a car crash with in which his pregnant girlfriend or wife died. i don't know if this really happened, but i'm pretty sure that's what it's about.
@theironmitten17 No not even :P Everyone who thinks its about him dieing or anything of that matter is wrong. He explained it in this interview here: mygazines. com/issue/353/77 .
its about him killing himself. think about suicide through the song and pay close attention, it really makes sense. "The blood runs cold, it was sober, the feeling of audible cracks" meaning his skull. "I can feel a hot one." a "hot one" is a bullet.
@ABitStronger I heard it was about Andy Hull being in a car crash with his pregnant girlfriend. His girlfriend died in the car crash and killed the baby in the process.
It was written about a dream that Andy Hull had, in which, he and his wife were in a car crash. In the dream, she was pregnant. The first part (from what i've heard anyway) is about him talking about his relationship with God, and a sort of overview of how he sees himself. The whole manna thing is just figurative language...
I thought a ''Hot One " was a lethal dose . Then he talks about the curtains around her neck. And how he thought he heard angels but it was ambulance sirens.
i listened to this song, went to order a calzone, drank some soda, sat down and started listening then went and grabbed my guitar so i could play the rest, knocked my ashtray over and said "fuck the ashtray, ill pick it up after the song is over."
It's amazing how artists like Manchester Orchestra and Death Cab for Cutie have lyrics that are hard to understand if you're not really listening, but when you finally understand what it is they're talking about, and I mean truly, you can't help but feel their pain. From what I got, they were arguing in the car and ended up crashing.
@Mauisplash An optimist. If you can find the beauty in a song and the emotions tied with it, and most disregard them as depressing and undesirable, then that's the definition of an optimist.
@LongLiveTheGreats Lol its Funny how u think humans are emotional creatures yet we are the only species who kills our own for beneficial gains and kill other species for nothing but useless trival gains. (head hunters)
religion can be just as alluring and addicting as substances after a tragedy. Has there been any speculation as to whether it became a crutch or a source of hope in this case? Beautiful song, the depth is refreshing

Thats his wife who left him... he was so emotionally wrecked then they got back together and she died in a car crash when he was driving two days after they got remarried
why is the same girl in all of his music videos? im not sayin it as a bad thing. i acually kinda like it. its like a continueing story through all of the music videos. but really why? does she like mean something to him?
Wow, your comments are amazing, it's nice to see that people actually think about the lyrics and pay attention to the emotion and meaning of the song and it's also nice that songs can mean so much to someone. wow, thank you.
With one last ditch effort I pray to the Lord to save her, but it’s too late and the ambulances have come to take her away. But the Lord gives me a glimmer of hope by showing that our baby is inside of her. And although I am going to lose Amy, we will always have something together in the form of our daughter. At that moment that best thing I could say was… and i felt love again......thats what the songs about...sorry about posting this way...
Sometimes it’s too late to realize things you should have earlier, and at this moment, I’m looking at Amy and realizing that she is perfect as I’m amongst this disaster that is being played out on the road. I realized right then that all the things I was worried about didn’t matter.
In this dream, I’m driving Amy, my soon to be wife, back to her parents house in Birmingham, Alabama. We get side swiped by this tractor-trailer and the wreckage is where this verse starts. As she’s lying there, I can tell that she’s not going to make it and that this was the end.
Being on the road is a gnarly trip and sometimes after like 12 hours of straight driving, you start losing it. Here is the beginning of me losing it. Just pulling my blanket over my head and crying and crying and eventually crying myself to sleep. That’s when the dream starts
seriously, it's "man e is a hell of a drug." that's why it's trippy in the video instead of children pooping from manna laxatives.

I think this song is about a man who has a car crash that kills his wife, but not him. He's so heartbroken he cant accept the truth that she's gone.
"I was in the front seat, shaking it out
And I was asking if you felt alright
I never want to hear the truth
I want to hear your voice, it sounded fine
My voice, it sounded fine"
So painfully beautiful.

Wow, your comments are amazing, it's nice to see that people actually think about the lyrics and pay attention to the emotion and meaning of the song and it's also nice that songs can mean so much to someone. wow, thank you.

With one last ditch effort I pray to the Lord to save her, but it’s too late and the ambulances have come to take her away. But the Lord gives me a glimmer of hope by showing that our baby is inside of her. And although I am going to lose Amy, we will always have something together in the form of our daughter. At that moment that best thing I could say was… and i felt love again......thats what the songs about...sorry about posting this way...

So I prayed for what I thought were angels
Ended up being ambulances
And the Lord showed me dreams of my daughter
She was crying inside your stomach

And I realized it then, you were perfect
With my teeth ripping out of my head
And it looked like a painting I once knew
Back when my thoughts were not tire leak intact
Sometimes it’s too late to realize things you should have earlier, and at this moment, I’m looking at Amy and realizing that she is perfect as I’m amongst this disaster that is being played out on the road. I realized right then that all the things I was worried about didn’t matter.

Your blood was dry it was sober
The feeling of audible cracks
And I could tell it was over
From the curtains that hung from your neck
In this dream, I’m driving Amy, my soon to be wife, back to her parents house in Birmingham, Alabama. We get side swiped by this tractor-trailer and the wreckage is where this verse starts. As she’s lying there, I can tell that she’s not going to make it and that this was the end.

I could feel my heart beat taking me down
And for the moment I would sleep alright
Veiny with a selfish fear
To keep me up another restless night
Another restless night
Being on the road is a gnarly trip and sometimes after like 12 hours of straight driving, you start losing it. Here is the beginning of me losing it. Just pulling my blanket over my head and crying and crying and eventually crying myself to sleep. That’s when the dream starts
