John Grant - Is He Strange Lyrics






Licorice and nuts
There are no if's and
There aren't any buts
He was just there
He was just standing there
He was on an island
In the North Atlantic Ocean
Just minding his own
He was just doing his thing
And in that moment
Everything changed

Is he strange
Or is it you, who never
Saw the light?
Decades of everything wrong
Give way to everything right
But that don't mean that it will stick
He's not some flower you can pick

Purples, reds and blues
You act like you have
Never read the news
Now you must choose
What are you going to do?
It's just good to know that
You can love while you are
Letting Go, look at the snow
Look at it swirl and blow
And you never thought
That tree would grow

Brown Norwegian cheese
Don't worry who you do
And do not please
At the very least
You've got other dead horses to beat
You can't win or lose
You simply are, and that's how
He is too, and you're never
Through, nobody said that
It would be smooth
Now close your eyes
And concentrate on this
Groove

Is he strange
Or is it you, who never
Saw the light?
Decades of everything wrong
Give way to everything right
Baby you're not strange
You are the only one
Who's ever been right
I'm just sorry that I let you down
And that's what keeps me up at night
(Not just the Common Snipe)
And I only hope that you can see
That you've transformed
This heart inside of me

    THAT photo... I love it. And his music... 3:)

  3. n.... ....

    I think this might be my favorite track on the new album. So good.

  4. M.... ....

    quelle incroyable inspiration, où un tel morceau peut trouver sa source?

  5. E.... H....

    Drumming courtesy of Nick Mason, or some other dullard of that kidney.

  6. J.... B....

    great track!

  7. i.... w....

    It’s difficult to pick which one is my fav in the album. Definitely this or diet gum!

  8. H.... S....

    Eu te amo cara ❤️

  9. D.... L....

    Tremendous. Surely one of the greatest love songs ever written. John Grant is a living treasure.

  10. A.... A....

    love it

  11. J.... Z....

    we saw them in concert last night in Berlin, it was so incredibly good!

  12. b.... ....

    This IS great songwriting!

  13. Q.... K....

    Why all your albums are selling when I have depression? 😢😢😢

  14. A.... L....

    This is my favorite song from the new album. A fantastic voice and high talent. A value at the presence when the best sold and bought music on the market is just a come- and- go musical fast food.

  15. R.... L....

    Parts of this are beautifully reminiscent of I Saved the World Today by Eurythmics.

  16. L.... J....

    I'm all about the pale green spaghetti strainer on his head in this photo.

  17. N.... N....

    Oh, John.

    So hurt, now the hurter.


    Still, works.

    Beautiful song.

    Best song on the LP.

  18. S.... C....

    Sounds like Divine Comedy older records. I like this.

    S.... C....

    "my lovely horse"

  19. s.... ....

    What's with the t-shirt?

  20. G.... S....

    Why is he always so damned talented, deep, moving and hot?

  21. I.... L....

    I really missed the Czars days vibe. Welcome back.

  22. S.... B....

    Great new song, but: Beschissenes T-Shirt!

    S.... B....

    You simply don't get the irony. It's too subtle for you.

  23. N.... A....

    "Is He Strange" debuted at #20 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!

  24. s.... ....

    already fav song!

  25. a.... a....

    just love all your music!

  26. m.... k....

    I'm closing my eyes and concentrating on this groove

  27. S.... ....

    Pure Magic! This voice - This melody - This harmony! ❤️

  28. T.... W....

    John Grant is the Steady Ship.

  29. H.... J....

    So good

  30. U.... M....

    Pure Beauty in words and music John ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you!!

  31. A.... D....

    He looks pretty normal in that picture. Love the piano melody midway through.

  32. R.... N....

    "I can’t stop playing it." Me, too.

  33. D.... M....

    John's music vibrates the spaces between the the atoms that make up my body. I feel it, reverberation.

    D.... M....

    There's a gratifying aspect to his careful songwriting that while he continues to be the guinea pig in his deconstruction on the modern male ego he can retain an optimistic yet ironic pessimism. He's the slightly older more accepting Father John Misty. Father John Crusty, if you will.

  34. m.... e....

    Fuck me this track is just absolutely fantastic I can’t stop playing it. Superb John simply superb. I especially like the throwback to classic piano reminiscent of Mozart’s.

  35. A.... F....

    I like this allot. Thanks. The voice sounds so great and rich. Man, you are wonderful.

  36. u.... ....

    Miss You in Denver, John.

  37. u.... ....

    The sound of snowflakes being reassembled.

  38. T.... T....

    So soothing, so funky, so... strange!

    This is a god-like production, without a doubt. <3

  39. O.... ....

    Love it!!!

  40. Y.... U....

    Just pre-ordered the vinyl on Amazon, can't wait!

  41. T.... ....

    Love you John John. My new favourite artist.

  42. R.... ....

    I must see you live!!!!

    R.... ....

    R.... ....

    Rav Ygloo I just got tickets to his Boston show on a whim I walked by a venue and his name was on the calendar (WINNING!!!!!) Dec 2nd!!!!
