Airborne Toxic Event, The - All For A Woman Lyrics

My all time favorite.

All for Gods Queen now ...!!! Stand back ...!!! Your over with ...!!!

His voice is similar to Cat Stevens

Omg that whistle part

This song hurts so good.

All of these grateful looks
All these grateful eyes
All the furious stares these fretful sighs

Promising everything
To everyone
We'll be back soon
You're my favorite one

And I'll keep it quiet
I'll hold you dear
The whispering fills the ear
Tell me you'll stay
We would have such fun
And the lie, you don't need anyone

And the screams, the wails, and the call
The headiness of the fall
Ten-thousand miles from where we began
Falling asleep with a picture in hand
It was all for a woman

You say that you're grateful for the time alone
Two years away and I don't miss home
And someone asks you if, you ever think of her
So you smile politely and you demur

But then all at once your head starts to swim
And you can feel her breath on your skin
If I let you stay, the same spot today
She's above you, below you in ways

And you're shivering cold
Like you're just ten years old
And she's lying asleep in your bed
And you're standing beside her
The light from inside her
Filling up the darkness in your head
It was all, for a woman

You've drowned in our teasing
You've forgotten the reason
The muse inspires the art
You'd give anything for
For her to say them once more
The words you believed at the start

Ten-thousand miles from where it began
Falling asleep with her picture in hand
And it was all, it was all
For the look in her eyes
Of the promise and the lie of a woman

YOU JUST FEEL IT XXX

Awesome...

what does the "bombastic video" mean in every single song?

Classic and slowburner

2k18 still drink to this song lol

Still stop me in my tracks after all this years every album has just made me cry at some point in my life and it just takes me on the greatest Emotional Trip. Still the best show ever in my life

I saw TATE play this live in Sheffield, it was at this moment I made the decision that I'd ask my girlfriend to marry me. This was our played as our 1st dance as testament to that moment.

So romantic 😍

guys....*gasp*...I can't....breathe!!!!!!!!!!!

BlankBrain Same.

SERIOUS Billy Joel vibes here.

YOOOO GO LOOK AT MY COVER OF THIS AYYYYYY

Five years later and still amazing

couldnt agree more

7 now...

It's my favorite one.

Oh sing us a song you're the piano man, sing us a song tonight!
Well we're all in the mood for a melody, and you've got us feeling alright...

oh, hangon, wrong verse...

your are an ass...

+madwham your are?

that's some quality arguing you got going on there. I'd argue back but since you failed to make a point of any sort, I guess I'd be rather lost.

Must be *this* stupid to argue with madwham... Sorry, I'm just not allowed in.

Kinda sad, because I think I had a good one that you could have understood: "your are not are blurbbugurr ass"

I dunno, I didn't really grow up speaking stupid, so my syntax is probably awful.

Man their first 2 albums were great. What happened after this?

they started making different kinds of music.

+michael o'mara (playtime.) I love synthesizers. Which album is more Synth based?

+michael o'mara (playtime.) Such Hot Blood was amazing. I fell in love with that album the second I heard it. I thought it was absolutely brilliant. Their few albums after we're okay but I couldn't relate as much but still very good in my opinion.

Dope Machines

The solo is the most beautiful sound

I fell in love with the band from the moment I heard this song.

Im going to dance my vals with this one on my wedding, thanx aIRborne Toxic Event

I love the ease with which these guys play.

We kinda stole this for our first dance at the wedding back in April. Sublime version of a great song. Thank you.

creepymcfeel that's kinda macabre, yet romantic.

chipette creepymcfeel! Lmao I love it

i WILL learn to play this

This reminds me my times at college... I love this group since I heard "sometime around midnight" I hope they decide to come once to Chile 

Dos años han pasado desde que deje mi casa y todavía pienso en ella...puedo sentir su aliento en mi cuello, ella está alrededor mio como hace diez años sigue estando durmiendo al lado mio..

This is the Airborne Toxic Event that I love and continue to listen too

It doesn't happen to often when I find a gem like this

Just amazing

Hi Maria, just listened to Airbourne Toxic Event,  Fantastic

Love them. Going to their concert in September <3

Zaira Hernandez luckyy! how was it? did they play this song?

Man I didn't know about them at all until I watched shameless! I'm so glad I soundhounded the song! Wonderful music. I love it.

The guitar solo is my fav. part!

I love how Noah is playing guitar and Steve is on the bass in this video

Thats a trip :)

genial!! muy buena idea y emoción!!!

All for a woman #MCPB  

+MimiVanTassel, if I heard that line, I'd think the Scrubs "my uterus is glowing" scene, not this song.

where in Los Angeles is this church??

great work

Boys, I'm telling you if you tell a girl that "Standing beside her the light from inside her is filling up the darkness in your head" it WILL work! :p

As of today, the Mayans were wrong. This video only has 320k views. That's ok, because all that matters is how awesome TATE is, and how meaningful the lyrics are.

Damn great song started playing in my head on Saturday as that person left. Disneyland will never be the same again.

Best line, "you've forgotten the reason the muse inspired the art." All for a woman. Cannot wait to see TATE again.

im addicted..i love them

Goosebumps.

your voice reminds me of David Bowie

i like his pretty green bedroom eyes

Well.. You can still (at least) hope for a quick and painless death.

I hope your search leads you to understand that the type of ego-coddling such sentiments endear will probably not be a part of any greater meaning you are likely to find. You don't need to frame yourself as a product being marketed, you are special, and so are the 250 people who like Niki Minaj. Whether you or them will be everything you were made to be is another issue, but you and them certainly have the potential.

great...

This is a good music, the best things are always least valued :/ but i´m happy i found this amazing

have loved this band for years... and they are the best performers ever. they know how to rock !!! and their lyrics are amazing.. IDK how anyone couldn't love em... they should be more huge than they are that's for sure.

Sounds like a spanish guitar :DDDDD childhood memories ahhhhhhhhh

Very Cat Stevens...I love this band

Punko1969-sad isn't it!

Here here. There's no accounting for people's taste, or lack thereof.

The Airborne Toxic Event have songs that grab your heart, pull it out through your throat and then squash it right infront of you.
And you still wanna listen to them again.

HOLY rearrangement!
Beautiful.

Leonard Cohen backed by the Jesus and Mary Chain.

I wish I talked to her.

one of my fav song$

amazing. cannot wait to see them live

I just want to crawl inside of his lyrics and live there forever.

Yup...we are lost.

- But now I have music to listen to while it all falls apart.

Wait are you serious ? There are only about 250 000 views o.o smfh

Guitar player playing bass. Bass player playing guitar. Violin player playing piano.

And they put most other band to shame...still.

Epic

Literally the coolest song I've ever heard!! How is this band not more famous!! I just bought their album off itunes :D (gotta be 10+ listens by now haha)

No love for Noah on lead guitar? For shame...

sounds very much like Jeff Buckley....

I miss Jeff Buckley. :(

STEVEN CHEN ON THE BASS?????? NO WAY!!!!! ^____^ this is thier best next to missy!

I love the look on his face while he sings, like he's thinking of something that the song relates too. It shows to me that he really means what he sings. Love it.

WHY IS STEVEN ON DOUBLE BASS??? THAT DOESNT MAKE SENSE!!!!

oh gosh, me too, and I'm a lady. :'(

Steven Chen is my idol.

his live recordings sound so much like the man Neil Diamond. great stuff, keep it up.

and Steven o.o

I disagree with the part about his voice but your a right about the second part.

I LOVE his voice!!!!!

AH the foolish things we do for WOMEN. -sigh-

Let's see. As of today, this video has less that 250 thousand views while Nicki Minaj's Super Bass has over 250 million. God do I hope the Mayans were right.

I'd wish someone would talk me so Y_Y

By playing more than one instrument you become a true musician? The thing that makes these people musicians is the fact that they write their music based on real life themes and emotions, then project it to the world in a way where you put it on replay and memorize the lyrics and completely identify with the song.

And it was all... it was all, for the look in her eyes,
of the promise
of the lie of a woman

His face right before he says "for a woman." Golden. That's one lucky girl, whoever she is.

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so much soul in this song.

real emotions flow trough this song makes it more special to listen too

The thing about this band is that all of its members are true muscians. They all can play multiple instruments it seems. The bassist and lead guitarist essentially switched instruments on this song. I've also seen both the viola player as well as the lead guitarist play keyboards on different songs.

2:45 = magic

ive never wanted to cry while hearing a song before..

This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard.

I say the people who disliked this have A. never been in love B.never had their heart broken by someone they were really in love with or C. never did anything to try and get their loved one back. But it is a amazing song and so many people have been through this, and understand. This song means so much to those people. We all understand.

God, how i cry when i hear this song....

This one is my favorite :)

@TwoHairsInOneHole

No, they are not.
