Camera Obscura - My Maudlin Career

[MusicLifeSame]

How can you NOT like this song.....? it's perfect....

[clovrmay]

Perfect.<3:D One of my all time favorite songs on all levels. Genius.

[gaguy1967]

I hate ads

[Corrine1968]

the haunting piano melody is sheer enchantment!

[yeahwhatevaah]

i think this is their best song, it's got that cool quality

[yomman123]

han su kim!

[killahoekillahoecity]

me likes.

[lunarelf]

i so love this song. scotland, along with the cocteau twins, has produced 2 of my favorite bands.

[alecahauf]

Love the photo of the Glasgow transport museum, I've got it as my screensaver

[zarella]

three people have obviously never been kissed on the forehead. cunts.

[Mthooz]

This is magic! MAGIC!!

[omegaman196601]

Good song - very simple but haunting keyboard line

[nedyken]

I'm getting a strong Pink Floyd vibe here... does this sample a beat or something?

[Sordidlives1973]

@nedyken

No Pink Floyd, just pure Phil Spector on this one!

[lolly2107]

I think she says " I chased your steps through the city of romance lazily"

[wiffostink]

I love all of Camera Obscura's songs, but this one I like quite a bit more than the others. Can anyone recommend any songs (by anyone) that are similar to this one?

[uptheartskool]

@wiffostink Have a listen to Iceblink Luck by The Cocteau Twins.

[wiltedpolyp]

@wiffostink - you just love this song. i hear you. part of the beauty of it is that its one of a kind.

[tbrais]

@wiffostink anything by zooey deschanel and her band she and him

[wsperger]

Best song on the album.

She certainly has a way of invoking emotion.

[gaguy1967]

Phil Spector sound

[2010funnyside]

i love this song

[homogenic97]

If you can't catch anything in the lyrics at least you can catch "this maudlin career has come to an end, I don't want to be sad again", I mean c'mon, the title is "My Maudlin Career" after all.

[StarSavalani]

Love this song! Brilliant. Piano is so simple and pretty.

[SaturnR1]

Every time that I hear this song, it just sends me. The album is one of the most solid pieces of work that I had the pleasure of listening hearing; let alone owning.

The arrangement for this song is so jaw dropping. I really ache with not being able to see them in Cincinnati, Ohio for a free concert. The guitar on this is mad intense. If you don't have this album - get it! :-)

[ZunigaZorola]

my brother and i love this song........it's so wimpsical

[dacookson]

@ZunigaZorola wimpsical lol

[merrickjones69]

Great Song!!!!!

[thetimesful]

Wow. This song means an incredible amount to me, and brings me both much joy and sadness when I hear it. Beautiful song.

[Scoopster1980]

french cinema

[NaseemKO]

This modeling career has come to an end, I don't want to be photographed again.

[t3hpwner3r]

This maudlin Korean has come to an end

[Wonderlandvirus]

Career*

[davidhenning]

Vulcranium, thanks for the lyrics. It still sounds like she says "It's warm in Korea, has come to an end" LOVE this band!

[watercolorsoda]

@davidhenning Ahah, I thought it was "This war in Korea has come to an end" Good thing I know the lyrics now. I have this song on repeat when I go to work.

[jimdowe]

the guitar fade-out is cats :)

[Kinemato]

What a beautiful song!

[theaterrado]

poner la letra de la cancion fue una idea genial, quien quiera que haya sido,

me esta empezando a gustar esa cancion

[drkzagger]

la cancion esta de lujo es una muy buena propuesta

[vulcranium]

You kissed me on the forehead

Now this kiss is giving me a concussion

We were love at first sight

Now it's crush

It's crushing

Now choose two stops through the city though

I'm lost easily

I took to the desert but my heart just whines

and deceive me

[vulcranium]

Now we're in love again

And you're wherevers

I'm not a child I know

We're not going steady

You're pain's gigantic but it's not as big as your ego

Promise not to abandon you, please let me go

Now I've been hurting your feelings

Yeah they were worth protecting

They say I'm too kind and sentimental

Like you could catch affection

[vulcranium]

Oh in your eyes there's a sadness

Enough to kill the both of us

Are those eyes overrated?

They make me want to give up on love

I'll brace myself for the holiness

Say hello to feelings that I detest

This maudlin career has come to an end

I don't want to be sad again

This maudlin career has come to an end

I don't want to be sad again - 2x

[latinocampomar]

this song is very very feeling for me

[estefhhi]

k ya no ay mas estrellas le quiero poner 10

[baggieoldboy]

this album as the last one absolute musical lyrical poetry , the tracks are pure sweet n sour go together brilliantly

eat it up and lick your lips afterwards

[irenesilicet]

I was at their concert in Milan 2 days ago.

This was the first song they played!

Good concert:-)

[rebellya]

I listen to this one every time I feel bored, depressed, and nothing/no one seems to talk to me, coz I'm boring, depressing and very quiet more often than I'd like to admit. Lock myself in a room, away from the world... only to hold it all in my thoughts.

[Igloboo]

Wow. I think you've described me.

[GreasbyGraham]

I love this album so much - I want to marry it !

[nordictrackeronline]

Amazing New group.....Wow....How is it that the greatest musical talents all seem to come from Ireland and Scotland.....

mvhall

[mauvetys]

[artisticenabeled]

Love that piano line.

[gaguy1967]

Phil Specter, sounds like the Ronnets

[biancatie]

I want a kiss that's so good that it could give me a concussion.

[malina70]

One of the greatest, most moving and liberating tunes I've heard in ages. Makes you want to give up everything and start living for real.
