Julia Holter - Silhouette Lyrics






I go out to find
The one with whom I've seen all hours' moons
Once the curtains lifted
And he said, "I only swim to you"

Language is such a play
He called his exit but his eyes irresolute
What pasts still sit today?
I feel I'm walking around in blue

He can hear me sing
He can hear me sing, though he is far
I'll never lose sight of him

He turned
To me then looked away
A silhouette, a silhouette
Still returns to me

I'll hand him his coat
It's exactly where he left it long ago
We'll fall all over floorboards
I lose my breath just envisioning the scene

Mysteries that wake up late
The table's set and the painting of his face
No time to hesitate
I cede all my light and play abandoned fool

(He can hear me sing
He can hear me sing, though he is far
I'll never lose sight of him)

(A silhouette, a silhouette...)

    Yaeocalddr

    Obrie.

  2. J.... ....

    Anyone listening in 2020 ?

  3. D.... S....

    Absolutely perfect song! It gives me Goosebumps.

  4. J.... W....

    Can someone tell me which time signature this song is on please?

  5. S.... ....

    Magical 🧙🏻‍♀️

  6. Q.... C....

    This album really transported me to ethereal places and spoiled me. I found Aviary vastly disappointing in comparison.

  7. P.... G....

    After almost 4 years this is still a masterpiece! Love it :) <3

  8. S.... F....

    The ending section is sonically spectacular. Loving this song more and more every day.

  9. C.... B....

    1:23-1:53 easily my favorite part of the whole album, it causes such a massive swell in my chest every time I hear it

    C.... B....

    I was waiting for someone to point to exactly this time stamp! Everyone here seems to prefer the ending, but these 30 seconds are sublime.

  10. F.... V....

    Holy f... . does it get any betteR?

  11. T.... T....

    Her voice is the the best since Elizabeth Fraser, and that's a tall order, just my humble opinion. 💟

  12. d.... d....

    Definitely Clair Boucher inspired... I love hearing all these newly arising artists with Grimes melodies... You just know Grimes was the influence. I like this artist!!!

  13. D.... R....

    Julia Holter’s new album ‘Aviary’ is out now on Domino Record Co. Listen & buy: http://smarturl.it/Aviary

    It's a little masterpiece!

  15. N.... D....

    So mystical

  16. J.... B....

    I don't know why her music makes me somewhat uncomfortable.

  17. C.... F....

    Absolutely GORGEOUS AWESOME Harmonies Loooooove it similar to Sidi Bou Said Fantastic :)

  18. m.... ....

    This song is a 6/5 at worst

  19. J.... F....

    this looks underrated

  20. A.... A....

    Used to always hear this song in Starbucks but could never make out the words, due to background noise. So I downloaded song recognition app and that's how I found this lol.

    A.... A....

    ?? What kind of Starbucks blasts Julia Holter

  21. P.... ....

    I love how insane this one gets towards the end.

  22. N.... W....

    Try singing to this lol it's impossible 😂

  23. r.... R....

    Unglaublich gut, seelenbalsam radio1 berlin brought me here

  24. l.... ....

    One of the best song ever , julia holter has immense talent

  25. B.... V....

    She's so underrated, unfortunately

    B.... V....

    She's clearly not. This album is in AnyDecentMusic 8.5, Metacritic 87, Pitchfork 8.4, NME 4/5.

  26. m.... ....

    This song is indescribably beautiful, words cant do it justice

  27. s.... b....

    this will forever be my favourite song

  28. T.... ....

    The god damn fucking outro on this fucking song is the fucking god damn ugh best god fucking damn thing I've ever god damn fucking listened to AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  29. B.... V....

    Perfect song and video!!!

  30. A.... K....

    This Amazing Song deserves more Views!!

  31. M.... F....

    Checked this out under Bian Eno's recommendation. Great work.

    M.... F....

    Where did you find this recommendation?

    M.... F....

    “Julia Holter I was listening to again the other day… just fantastic. There was nobody as good as her when I was making music back in the day. If Julia Holter had existed in the 1970s she would be a goddess, it’s just because she’s doing it now and that there are a lot of people doing things that it sort of dilutes it a little bit.”

  32. L.... M....

    I love this.

  33. S.... ....

    I am so in love with Julia Holter's music. Thank you Apple Music recommends. I would never have found her otherwise

  34. j.... m....

    injteresting

  35. C.... ....

    Mystifying in the best possible way. Simply one of the most brilliant artists alive today.

  36. j.... a....

    magnifico <3

  37. b.... v....

    The video is incredible! Bravo, Holter!!! :')

  38. D.... d....

    The style of vid and music kind of reminds me of Kate Bush. This is the 69th comment en fait

  39. B.... H....

    Beautifullllll

  40. b.... ....

    The end is really beautiful

  41. h.... ....

    Heartbreaking

  42. M.... L....

    che dio ti benedica

  43. D.... M....

    Come to Mexico !

    D.... M....

    +DIEGO MORA al corona

  44. S.... H....

    best song ever

  45. _.... E....

    Seeing her live for the second time in Boston. Man, I'm so lucky. She's so talented!

  46. p.... ....

    2:41 to 3:50 —> 69 hugely intense, absolutely insane eargasms (one per second, to be more precise).

    I'm more and more convinced that Julia Holter is the anagram of an as yet unknown magical word used to define pure ecstasy.

    love her work.

  47. A.... J....

    She is a musical legend

  48. A.... J....

    amazing

  49. Z.... K....

    i hate that drums :/

    Z.... K....

    Thats the best part!!!!

  50. L.... M....

    Wordless.

  51. G.... J....

    lovethis❤

  52. C.... S....

    No words. Just listen... and listen... again. And again...

  53. A.... M....

    I love everything about this

  54. N.... M....

    Judging from the number of views vs. quality of the music... definitely the most underrated of 2015.

    N.... M....

    +Nathaniel Matychuk For an album chosen by Mojo and Uncut as the best of the year (ahead of Kendrick Lamar, mind you), it's most viewed track has just 3/4 million views. That's kind of incredible. And a shame.

    N.... M....

    +EnoVarma it's a tiny bit demotivating for me as an aspiring musician. when you make music like this, not giving a damn about basically any trends, genres or... anything really, and just making something beautiful and pure, the music rarely gets the recognition it deserves.

  55. M.... ....

    Very nice

  56. D.... ....

    that ending..

  57. C.... B....

    Really love this track...very interesting and haunting. 6music brought me here.

    C.... B....

    +Chris B bless 6 music, simply essential

    C.... B....

    Chris B I can't deny just how lovely she looks! 😇😍😇

  58. D.... J....

    reminds me of lana del rey but a better version although i love the video games retro video

  59. H.... ....

    I detect a strong Gene Clark influence in the melody here. :) Wonderful song.

  60. S.... ....

    Has she slipped up even once? Julia is on fire right now...

  61. A.... J....

    How is she and everything she does so perfect!!!?

  62. P.... M....

    Lovely song, I suggest everybody to buy the 24bit Hi Res version of this album at Qobuz or HDTracks.

  63. r.... ....

    WHY DOES THIS REMIND ME OF MY 70`S CHILDHOOD. LOV IT!!!

  64. S.... ....

    Wow! A track of pure, quirky, beautiful brilliance

  65. J.... D....

    Love the song, do not like the video - that flashing just hurts my eyes...

  66. d.... ....

    this video sucks ass

  67. A.... Y....

    LOVE the THEATRICALITY
    I LIVE for the THEE-A-TRE

  68. L.... R....

  69. P.... F....

    Shame it wasn't Vasquez! Love it anyway!

  70. E.... V....

    Very retro video

    ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

  75. P.... P....

    Nice video, why not "Betsy on the roof"????

  76. P.... P....

    Album of the year, best artist currently

    P.... P....

    @youdbettertube meh idk I'm a huge hip hop listener so I thought Kendricks was like perfect. But holter by far has the best pop album of the year imo

    P.... P....

    @marco bazan
    there's no question that
    1) tpab was the rap album of the year at the very least
    2) kendrick is the best rapper in the game right now

    i really like tpab, but i do feel a bit in the minority bc i still like good kid more, and i think maybe tpab has been a little (like 3%) overhyped. but it's still in my own personal top albums of the yr list, obvs ;p

    P.... P....

    @youdbettertube​ nahh I don't think you're in the minority at all more people liked gkmc over tpab, I personally like tpab better but that's cuz it litterally took me months to get used to it, I hated it at first. Both will be classics tho 

    P.... P....

    Paul Parler theneedledrop ranked this on his Top 50 albums of 2015 video, and it's in the top 5!

    P.... P....

    Joanna Newsom, Divers was also very impressive. I can't decide which was my favorite of 2015 between both. Also in 3rd would come "A Mulher Do Fim Do Mundo" by Elza Soares. If you haven't hear this one, it's an absolute must!

  77. G.... Z....

    Brava Julia.

  78. G.... R....

    musical goddess

  79. A.... M....

    I love u Julia. <3

  80. M.... L....

    Right, it's official: Julia Holter can do no wrong.

  81. f.... ....

    My favourite.

  82. O.... E....

    amazing

  83. O.... E....

    very good

  84. G.... A....

    I was about to say this is one of the best songs in the album but the truth is every single song is just amazing.

    G.... A....

    true! I think this is my favorite though. I wish it was longer

  85. R.... R....

    love this
