Dirty Projectors - Knotty Pine Lyrics






Here is the sound that photographs make
When I see them
When I hear them

I see regions of sharp precision
Over abundance
Over indulgence

Tied together with rope and twine
Stuck together with paste and glue
Two old planks of knotty pine
And a couple of nails poked right on through

    I'm way down with most of the album, but it's funny how he words things dealing with friends. Like friendship is a new concept or something, at least to him. "You know, I was just casually talking to Aaron like, you know, a friend. He would ask me like 'what are you doing?' like you might ask a friend."

    Oh shit, I wanna party with Dave Longstreth and Zach Condon

  3. J.... F....

    This really shows up Dave Longstreth's voice

  4. R.... D....

    does anyone have any idea where I can get the video from this concert? They did a version of Fucked For Life that is gone from youtube and I really want to see it again

  5. y.... ....

    I think he's talking about the fact that some mistakes were made and lyrics were forgotten. The comment kind of ignores that this session was mostly a fun sort of thing and not meant to be for the creation of a "perfect" recording.

    @funny0000000 fool this song was actually written by the Dirty Projectors, FEATURING David Byrne. it is in no way a David Byrne song. It clearly has Dave Longstreth's distinct style to it. why do so many people comment youtube videos when they have NO IDEA what they're talking about?

  8. m.... ....

    @crassintelligence : both parts of that statement are true, but why the "but" ? what are you getting at i dont understand...

  9. r.... ....

    Not normally, maybe this was just for the comp CD. Their own album, Bitte Orca, is a candidate for album of the year on a lot of music sites, I highly recommend!

  10. J.... K....
