McMorrow, James Vincent - Cavalier Lyrics
Speak until the dust
settles in the same specific place
Light refused to go
Drink it from a cast and iron plate
instead of cold milk
Instead of silence
considered craven
Nothing made it seem
hidden where the aging soil was pure
Pressed against the crease
Mountains become fragrant at the source
how can you stand this
exotic angle
I read it somewhere
I remember how cloth hung
flexing with the forest clung
Half waist and high raised arms
kicking at the slightest form
I remember my first love
I remember my first love
Unrelied I was called
missing teeth out of favour
Nickel beach it was all
gathering by the sundial
I woke hard
I woke heavy
for the half way stop
Five whole hours in
when I woke hard
I woke heavy with the live or parts
I remember how cloth hung
flexing with the forest clung
Half waist and high raised arms
kicking at the slightest form
I remember my first love
I remember my first love
I remember my first love

McMorrow, James Vincent Cavalier Comments
Люблю его песни и музыку!!!!!
One of my favourite songs ever, even the video is perfect
hear MATT CORBY .UNTITLED
I appreciate this song better if I don't watch the video
due to the
Drugs
Alcohol and
Cheap sex acts
It takes away the beauty in the song
and definition of what cavalier means to me.
This joker is a dope fiend..nothing cavalier about that...that's the definition of a FOOL
I Love this song
Is it just me or does it sound like James Vincent McMorrow uses slight controlled voice cracks for emotional feel. He doesn’t even lose the note. It’s subtle but super impressive
Wish I’d never seen the video. Some songs mean more than the artist intends. If ever some would dare let their agendas go and put out a good song to trust the audience to enjoy it how they see fit
Brasil?
oh I need a moment just to let that sink in...
Who's here after listening to Daniel caesar's cover
me encanto
The lyrics, the production, the video...everything is sublime and heartbreaking .
This guy has the same last name as me. McMorrow!
A S M R
😍😍😍😍😍
my personal sad song
and there goes my tears
Here I am🙌
Beautiful voice.
Amo essa música pra sempre
it's so huge !!!
Listeaning in 1.5x
Anybody can ID his jacket at the start?
Just got the song title tattooed on today. I’ve never related more to a song than this before. Not just the song but the music video will forever make me feel something inside no matter if I am happy or sad. I hope one day I’ll be able to really make people feel something like this song has to me and many others.
The lyrics are impossible to explain but this song is so gd good, it's unreal.
STILL AMAZING 💟💟💟
Siapa yang kesini karena tempat bercakap
God these lyrics are difficult to dissect
I have sinned, because I just found out there are songs as beautiful as this, thank you for entertaining me with this extraordinary work
This songs makes sense
Música profundamente linda e atraente, mesmo com seus significados desastrosos. Me encantei, pela voz de James, pela melodia da música, pelo clip que foi excepcional.
I loved this song from the moment I heard it and I love it still. One of my faves, the imagery is gorgeous.
My interpretation is that it's a man who's lost his wife and child.
Speak until the dust
Settles in the same specific place
(keep going until he you find love again)
Light refused to go
Drink it from a cast and iron plate
(you can't drink anything from a plate. Cast iron is very strong and can last a lifetime, but he's using the wrong thing for his purposes)
Instead of cold milk
Was offered unripe
(he's substituting all the wrong things for what he had, finding people who offer love but there's no maturity, no history. So it's unpleasant.)
Instead of silence
Considered craven
(he's a coward because he can't stand the silence)
Nothing made it seem
Hidden where the aging soil was pure
(back when he had his wife and child, it was a carefree and innocent time. He didn't see this pain coming. Never saw himself losing them)
Pressed against the crease
Mountains become fragrant at the source
(breasts, obviously. But it's a duality. Here he's pressing his face between her breasts.)
How can you stand this
Exotic angle
(here he's watching her breastfeed their child)
I read it somewhere
That they would lie still
(his wife and child are dead)
I remember how cloth hung
Flexing with the forest clung
Half waist and high raised arms
Kicking at the slightest form
(his baby in its bassinet. It reaches 'half waist' and the baby reaches for him. Kicking at the sheets because that's what babies do when they're determined to NOT FUCKING SLEEP)
I remember my first love
I remember my first love
(two loves, one for his wife and one for his child. They were both the first of two types of love.)
Unrelied I was called
Missing teeth out of favour
Nickel beach it was all
Gathering by the sundial
(Nickelbag=$5 worth of drugs. So you have him being toothless and burning his bridges in grief. then you have him taking drugs to get over the pain. it takes him to a more pleasant place 'beach' and takes him back to a time in his history/memories 'sundial')
I woke hard
I woke heavy
For the half way stop
Five whole hours in
When I woke hard
(coming off the high)
I woke heavy with the live or parts
(with a shock and scattered mind. Can't remember everything he did while high.)
I remember how cloth hung
Flexing with the forest clung
Half waist and high raised arms
Kicking at the slightest form
I remember my first love
I remember my first love
I remember how cloth hung
Flexing with the forest clung
Half waist and high raised arms
Kicking at the slightest form
I remember my first love
I remember my first love
I remember my first love
(he's unable to forget and still trapped in memory)
I can't remember the last time a song made me cry... but damn I'm tearing up right now
I just want to know if this song has a meaning to it or is it supposed to be interpreted
You know when the song is sooo beautiful but you have no idea what they’re talking about, this is one of those songs.
Should I call an ambulance?
Exquisitely composed in lyrics voice music and moving pictures.
Thank you JVM
Anyone else with tears in their eyes?
Who stills listen to this in 2018?
Jalene Martin me! 😉
I am late af but I love this song, this video, everything of it. Such a beautiful masterpiece. Thank you Paris for letting me know this. Never thought I would find something like this in a place like that.
it's really a good actor because I know this state and it's so true
Speak until the dust
Settles in the same specific place
Light refused to go
Drink it from a cast and iron plate
Instead of cold milk

Instead of silence

I remember my first love
I remember how cloth hung

Half waist and high raised arms
Kicking at the slightest form
I remember my first love
I remember my first love
I remember my first love
I came here from Daniel
Who is he?
Here from Conan Gray!
How many replays is considered too many replays? 10? 20?
Underated
that guy reminds me of Jessie from breaking bad
We need Keaton Henson and James to do a song together
I hope you see this one day Tiger 🐯 -GSM
Daniel Caesar’s version is better. Love this one though ♥️
Such a beautiful song and expression of to deal with a bad situation. Trying to fight a feeling but It's ok to be "weak" sometimes
Great video
insane!
How love is like a drug It seems so awesome at first til you find yourself in a whirlwind of craziness and are left so sad and alone I remember my first love Beautiful song
This song just envelopes me, takes my mind to another space, gives me goosebumps. It's so good.
Came here looking for Daniel Caesar
Remember me ''The Kite String Tangle'' and ''Deptford Goth''
I know I'm a dork! This song made me cry driving home from work @ 2:41 am. 89.9 KCRW was playing this "Incredible Song!" Man you got me in all my "Feelz" HA! Thank you for being so talented and sharing your gift! Your song touched my Soul!
Horribly in love with this, for eternity
#teenwolf😭😭😭😭
This is a classic Irish poet .....sublime.
At 1:01 when the video shows all the guys watching the girl. It's so beautiful and I want the whole video to just be the girl dancing in front of the light. Idk I just really appreciate that visual
One of the few artists that put me in a place mentally where no one can reach me or come near me. James Vincent McMorrow, Bon Iver, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Ry-X, The Acid. Yet to meet anyone who can sit and listen to this music with me and appreciate it for what it is....True Beauty.
I think this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
This song wrecks me every time
What is the video supposed to mean?
THIS SONG IS SO FUCKING GOOD WTF
I used to think this was about an actual person being his first love but now that I have became an alcoholic and somewhat addict this music video reminds me so much of my dependency and how it stole my heart before any actual person has
if my homies knew i listened to this id get fucking roasted lmaoooo whos with me
muy lloron
This is one of the best music videos I have ever seen. love if it was a movie.
Definite perfection = James mc morrow cavalier
🇲🇽💚
STILL MY FAVORITE SONG UNTIL NOW, i really love this
Amazing!
this is amazing
So is the video metaphorically depicting him looking for the feel of his first love to no avail ?
majestic!
como me encanta esta canción
This hits right in the feels
If u can how u name this kind of music? :)
This song hits me right in the feels... specially the ending when his bleeding, meaning that his heart is broken. the guy actually tries to make himself feel better with woman, alcohol and drugs. But no matter what, there's nothing to fill that emptiness, that pain inside him. which a lot of people can relate to it.
Ağlayan çıksın kasıyor
you guys helped me with life, please keep making music
i wanna die to this song
I'm sorry but Daniel Caesar's version is equally as good if anything it's better than this.
I discovered this through Daniel Caesar's version. It's pretty different from this one, but I still love both regardless.
Anyone here coz of Daniel Caesar
I came here because i heard Daniel caesar cover and I was like omg I have to know who wrote this omg
only artist that can sit at the same table with Damien
I don't think I've ever heard/seen a song and video that has captured the hollow searching and aching heartbreak that this does – at least for myself. Still cut up more than I should be, still doing the same kinda stuff.
Listen to Daniel Caesar's version of this song. You'll find a new artist to like.
I imagine the song is about the loss of his first born thru and abortion or being still born...
*Light refused to go
Drink it from a cast and iron plate

*how can you stand this

*Half waist and high raised arms

Blissfully blissful.
