ALL CREDITS must go to Erica Leah Bouman (/user/ericaleah), who created this wonderful vid.

The only difference is that I thought the sound quality in that video wasn't so good, so I did some mixing to make it sound a little better.

LYRICS

Thunder rumbles in the distance, a quiet intensity
I am willful, your insistence is tugging at the best of me
You're the moon, I'm the water
You're Mars, calling up Neptune's daughter

Sometimes rain that's needed falls
We float like two lovers in a painting by Chagall
All around is sky and blue town
Holding these flowers for a wedding gown
We live so high above the ground, satellites surround us.

I am humbled in this city
There seems to be an endless sea of people like us
Wakeful dreamers, I pass them on the sunlit streets
In our rooms filled with laughter
We make hope from every small disaster

Everybody says you can't, you can't, you can't, don't try
Still everybody says that if they had the chance they'd fly like we do.

  • I love The Weepies. Maybe you should be more open to other kinds of music. This is not "indy bullshit". It's a beautiful song. But your entitled to your opinion.

  • "is lost on me"

    That about sums it up. How unfortunate that others are rejoicing and youre bitter. I guess there is devine justice in this.

  • It is just not possible to write a better song than this. Perfect.

  • @RoelandDuiveman best part in the history of music :-). And it takes place almost right on the Golden mean, the perfect spot to have the greatest emotional effect. Absolutely amazing!

  • Bravo CHAGALL

  • @SushiCatNomNom Good thing about this song...you don't have to be artsy to like it. I'm not artsy at all but I still love it.

  • When I die and if I go to heaven I want this son to be playing as I fly through the universe :)

  • 2:31 best part, that high note is awesome!

  • This song describes how dreamy I can get sometimes. I'm a very "artsy" person, and i could sit in a patch of grass all day and gaze at the clouds and draw... I love Chagall's paintings!
