Future Islands - Vireo's Eye Lyrics
A loose, and hazy time
When you were not my Clementine
And I was not your diamond's eye
Bereft, as daisies lie
You were strong, I was a child
We, we're not kings here,
We're not kings here
We're just strangers
And Love, has died in song
Carried down by ancient tongues
Ferried around the water's thrum
And winds, along a line
To be, to see, to sweat, and bleed
To fall on your sword-on your sword
On your word
We, we're not kings here,
We're not kings here
We're just strangers
Be still, by my side
For you are not my Clementine
And I am not your diamond's eye
To Sleep!
By right of you, I can't endure
In the light of things, I can't ignore
In spite of all the rose's thorns, and hopeless works
We, we're not kings here,
We're not kings here
We're just strangers
We, we're not kings here,
We're not the kings here
We're just strangers
We, we're not kings here,
We're not kings here
We're just strangers
We, we're not kings here,
We're not the kings here
We're just strangers
And angels

i love this...One of my fav tunes mixed perfectly with one of my fav games which is the rare dragon's lair 2... did you the original animator has a indigogo campaign to make a dragons lair movie? its smashing the target and raised well over $500k... i can't wait for it. Don Bluth is a legend:)

wyatt jager
paja canción!
Puta madre, obra maestra
Thanks Thanks Thanks friend. Hi from Lima Perú.
Олична група. Глас певача подсећа на црначке вокале. Перформанс певача САВРШЕН. Браћо Срби и остали , препоручујем да погледате и преслушате снимке ове групе, који су почели са именом : Аrt Lord & the self-portraits.
Лудило. А хвала Дејвиду летерману што их је представио у својој емисији и омочућио великој већини да се упозна са овим ЧАРОБЊАЦИМА.
my eyes were glued to the screen
1:18 WEEEEEEEEEH!
man, just goes to show how much you can change the tone of something with the right editing and music change
TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNE > Voodoo Peeps

You took the words right out of my mouth.. 2019 and I'm still digging the song!

A game called Dragon's Lair, quite a strange click game
the best
This video begins with a guy kissing a blonde girl, just like the video on youtube "SxSW Future Islands 2014 - Vireo's Eye (Live) - The Skinny magazine" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pr2mtWEuuI but with real people. That's a beautiful coincidence, isn't it?
Good eye, good eye <3
