Kind of the signature song - where most people "discover" Rachel Y and her GREAT band. I just got back from hearing the tour for the new album, Chesapeake, which is amazing. Go hear RY and her band and you WILL be amazed.
For everyone who thinks she is singing about her BF not getting over a former lover--listen again to the song, and consider: perhaps it is HER that can not get over the girl. With that in mind, the entire song takes on an entirely different meaning.
I think this video is a direct take from the old Spanish classic short film about the man who gets trapped in a telephone box and is eventually taken away still inside the box on the back of a truck to meet his fate I wont spoil the the ending here but its well worth watching. The films title for anybody interested is 'The Telephone box'! Great adaptation here:)C
Dude the song is about a girl who loves a man who has another woman on his mind. He voices is to her and she knows the whole story. The only thing she ever wants is to feel like he wants her and all of her but that isn't the case.
So, whats the point? getting in a decorated glass, and riding with it through the city, and some children's faces, and that old waiter. Seriously, whats the holy point? Though i love the song.
@arta91 she's trapped... maybe she feels as if her love life is kind of like a circus since the song is obviously about her guy cheating on her. idk. just my guess.
I could listen to her for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours. Rachel Yamagata has the most unique, and amazing voice I've ever heard. So good. Soo fucking good.
Not only can you take the lyrics themselves and find the meaning complicated, try listening to two other drasticy different versions (usually popping up when viewing this) rosey929, the beautiful beautiful quiet piano version posted by betelguese81. I got different meanings from each version. One sounds like a hurt girfriend who wishes he'd quit thinking "about her", rock version sounds like she's fed up up his thinking about her, the piano version sounds like she's devestated
there's another version of this song that is soooooooooo much better. this version is annoying pop-rock and doesn't compliment her unique voice at all. this version is like if Rachael Yamagata won American Idol and this is the second single from her debut album.
Not sure if it's part of the OC soundtrack but when I first heard this on that show, it started with a synth intro. Is that available or maybe that is the version you have ?
WOW this is a nice version. I heard it only just now. I also like the other version but I think I like this better. It's livelier!!! I LOVE IT :) I LOVE YAMAGATA. YAMAGATA FOREVER
I really can't get over this girl right now. I'm completely infatuated with her and this song is helping me through the pain of knowing I can never be with her. It has been played over 200 times on my iTunes just because of how it makes me feel so much better even though i'm so depressed.
it must be some sort of masculine paranoia, but most guys tend to keep songs with female vocalists off their ipod. this song is my exception though, i dont even give a fuck. she had a great voice and this is a great song
I know what you mean, however I gave this up like a year ago. There's too much good female vocalists out there to ignore them. We got Rachael, Lisa Hannigan, Cat Power and to a certain degree Feist.
rachel,please,please marry me,please i love you and will do anything possible for u i've got no richness but i love u forever;;;;; my love i'll make u the happiest lady ever
OH THAT's TIJUANA's Downtown,just a few blocks from there you can eat the most delicious churros in the world,also some parts of the video are shot in the Toreo De Tijuana near the beach,if you plannig to come to Tijuana and take the famous picture of the zebra burro hurry up cuz they maybe changing the zebra burro for some brand new zebra camel i'm not kidding! oh god i'm sounding like some tourist guide LOL!
Totally sultry.
