Manchester Orchestra - Colly Strings ( Lyrics )

[alexciariley]

One of those songs that you dont realize how many memories it has until you listen to it a year later.

[brissy724]

what is a colly string?

[uncertainties]

you know maybe you would know your favourite line more if the lyrics in this were actually correct because seth off is definitely not in the song along with other things.

[draver21]

@uncertainties

The lyrics definitely are "...Seth Ott's bedroom." There is an article Andy did with some website where he acknowledges the confusion people were having with those specific lyrics and he cleared it all up. It has been a couple of years since I read the interview but I'm sure the website's name had the word punk in it. Just do a Google search and I am sure you can find it.

[zjayjay31]

"Well don't stop calling, you're the reason i love losing sleep" my favorite line.

[theH8D1]

This song is perfect in so many ways.....I dont know how many people actually realate to the lyrics but for me the whole song makes perfect since

[AnkhMorpork1]

I covered this song and Sleeper 1972, would love it if you checked them out! :) Manchester Orchestra are amazing.

[1993tyco]

It is impossible to tell which one of their songs is my favorite. I love them ALL

[Strangleddd]

Life: Nobody's perfect

Manchester Orchestra: Hi.

[AnkhMorpork1]

I literally cannot stop playing this song on guitar! (Okay you may argue that in order to type this message I would have had to stop playing, but, I assure you I didn't!) :)

[mcrfannoah]

Just so everyone out there knows, this is the greatest song in the FUCKING WORLD........I love you Manchester Orchestra.

[eirhhdkshcndkfe]

Makes me think of everything i lost. i didnt even realize i had lost it until it was gone. every note hurts. and i think she's gone.

[Jimy191Quartez]

[iloveyouulotsxD]

I've listened to this over a thousand times and I haven't gotten tired of it yet. It's my favorite song and always will be. It gets me through everything. Thank you, Manchester Orchestra.

[MamoTheta]

beautiful Lyrics, but @ 3:39 scared me XD so loud lol

[brandonoky]

Why don't more people know about his band and his solo band Right Away Great Captain!?!? He's an amazing Vocalist!!!

[huntersyanks]

@brandonoky also his band Bad Books

[theMuranosBand]

One of the best songs out their IMO

[CH3BURASHKA]

Great song. Too bad I associate with a very sad point in my life, otherwise I'd listen to it more.

[angiezism]

Ugh! I love this song to death!

[MrPink536]

who's the bastard that doesn't like this song!

[Hebsie26]

my fucking favorite.

[QuadfishTym]

"You played your songs, and you danced your dance.

I unwrapped your presents, underneath your... feet."

[jratliffmines]

is the ending "besides you can't believe without fear" or "besides you can't believe without bleeding"? i've seen it both ways.

[JGoocher4]

Andy Hull: "Colly Strings" is a song I wrote on the first record I wrote for my fiancee. Each phrase of four lines switches back and fourth from my perspective and hers. The song tells the story of the hard things we had to get through to finally find each other. "Besides you can't believe without bleeding" references the idea that before you can experience real joyfulness, you have to experience pain. It's the only way you can appreciate the good.

[37Daryl]

I love how so much was put into this, yet it's not for an audience. I love this song,, but don't have a fuckin clue what it's talking about!! And i'm not supposed to. haha this was made "out of his love for his love",,,, we're just the people that get to listen. We are not the audience. I love it!

[vazquj]

This affected me in a way that no other song has done before. Thank manchester orchestra.

[izvunzemen]

this song is tearing me apart piece by piece

[CoolestGeekYouKnow1]

Theres just something about Manchester Orchestra that makes you relate to the majority of there songs.

[lightogime]

great fuckin song i just sent it to the girl i love hopefully she gets the hint

[iversondan]

[flywasd]

@lightogime So what did she say?

[mindtrickz123]

@lightogime - how did it go man

[dubstepdisco]

@lightogime Girls dont understand manchester.. :/

[123quarters]

@dubstepdisco You don't understand girls.

[dubstepdisco]

@123quarters hahaha, good story bro

[lightogime]

@dubstepdisco dude she got the hint, we've been dating for almost a year now bro. :D

[dubstepdisco]

@lightogime Thats badass dude :)

[HereLiesLabel]

@dubstepdisco Lies! I'm a 13-year-old girl, and I love everything by Andy Hull to no end.

[devin9989]

@dubstepdisco you're not a chauvinist at all... we're the same as chicks dude.

[murphworm21]

@lightogime i think this song is about a boy coming out of the closet, which is why he says "pseudo boy who would rather wear a blouse"...not the best love song for your girl

[murphworm21]

@lightogime i think its more about someone coming out of the closet, as andy hull says "pseudo boy that would rather when a blouse"..

[lightogime]

@murphworm21 hmm. well, he was an alcoholic. maybe he drank, to hide his shame. but then he realized it really doesnt matter what people think of you, because deep down inside he knows, everyone sucks. -_-

[TheIvoryrocker]

@lightogime i like that theory

[spoogeworthy]

@lightogime - did she get it? :)

[evereverland]

Thanks for posting this with the lyrics. I just got turned on to this great band.

[Kaocacao]

I love this song.

It would be even better if it was calm like in the start all the time. Would suit the song.

[zaqxswc3]

@Kaocacao sooo true. but still with the bass and low rumble like in the middle. but towards the end it just kinda goes meh. buts its still one of my faves

[hurleyskateava]
