Feist - A Man Is Not His Song Lyrics
A man is not his song
A song is a promise
If a man is just his song
Then can the song be beyond us?
How we make it up
Eventually it'll let you down
By believing in standing ovation
Song won't lift up if
Made by revenge so oboe sweet
I will will it
To add up to more than you or me
Cause a man is not his song
And I'm not a story
But I wanna sing along
That filament that flies by
And it brings yellow light
Of those yellow summers back
By coconut palm and snowy pine
I've heard years pass
Through my ears to hear otherwise
We all believe in old melodies
I carry tunes around like they carry me
A man is not his song
(Though we all wanna sing along)
We've all heard those old melodies
(Like they're singing right to me)
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed...
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed
More than a melody's needed...

Feist A Man Is Not His Song Comments
Oh Feist hazme tuyo
It’s my last day of summer, this song came to me late but I love it so much
This is awesome Katherine .
Love this song but the chord pattern sounds just like Aaron Freeman's "(For a While) I Couldn't Play My Guitar Like a Man", it distracts me.
I do prefer this however so I guess it doesn't matter lol

A man is not his song
A song is a promise
If a man is just his song
Then the song is beyond us
How we make it up
And it sends in deep elation
Eventually it can let you down
By believing in standing ovation
Song won't lift up if
Made by revenge so sweet
I will will it
To add up to more than you or me
'Cause a man is not his song
And I'm not a story
But I wanna sing along
If he's singing it for me
That filament that flies by
And it brings yellow light
From those yellow summers back
By coconut palm and snowy pine
I've heard years pass
Through my ears to hear otherwise
They all believe in old melodies
I carry tunes around like they carry me
A man is not his song
Though we all wanna sing along

Something magical about her voice. Touches my soul.
J'adore!
Has a touch of Kate Bush about it...and her.... which is as big a compliment as its possible to give anyone. Lovely stuff
...more than a melody's needed...
I can listen this million times and feel it like a new song over and over again... its my new drug! I need it...
okay why isn't the video available
Acústico, pfvr! I beg, plis
wow, i've been waiting to come across a song with a concept like this, i love it
why i cant watch it ;_;
Did the same to me, perhaps try a different device. Worked for me :)
She is the best. That is the album that I'm most enjoying that came out this year. So far at least.
I totally agree!
That's Mastodon's "High Road" at the end of the song.
Here's the explanation given by Feist:
“I wanted a sonic representation of the feminine/masculine binary, and Mastodon is like a flamethrower of guy-sound and feeling. It felt right at the end of this observation that a man is not his song, and nothing is really what it purports to be. I know a lot of men, and a lot of them write songs, and I know the difference between what they are and what they sing. And it’s same for me — there is your pedestrian voice and your maker’s voice, and it just felt notable to observe that some people can be subsumed by the voice they’ve made, and others keep it in check.”
I THOUGHT I heard Mastodon in there somewhere! That's pretty cool, because I couldn't find an explanation anywhere online and I was so curious/confused. XD
Good to know I could help!
Probably just a person's normal voice.
I love the album but I HAAAAAAAATE this ending. I don't mind Mastadon I guess, but there's live renditions she did of this song where it ends with all these repeating harmonies and what not, and it's such much better. I understand the concept but if it makes for a less pleasant piece of music, it shouldn't be done.
Wow! That Musicpiece at the end and this comment -both, very unexpected! :D
Thank u Sir!
(Both -Mastodon and Feist- are very appreciated by me. But so very different. Worlds collided indeed :D )
i love feist :D
It says this video is not available :(
omg you put Feist i love you
more than a melody's needed 💜
David, always when you upload a video and I open It, print in the screen "This video isn't avaliable". Can you fix It?
Junior Download an app that allows you to use VPN, then connect to a US server. You will be able to see the video.
