Morby, Kevin - City Music Lyrics

Spotify makes this my 'Song of the decade', couldn't agree more. Love ya KM.

Wow original stuff in a copycat boring musical world! Allman Brothers? "Dorothy" sounds like Velvet Underground

🍀🌈

This gets played every day in my local cafe.......and I hate it to pieces......Ive never heard such a NOTHING song....it really stinks

Too bad your taste sucks

Her voice sounds just like jennifer tilly !! really sexy voice and woman <3

proper T.V. Violence

Love u man

u make me happy to be alive
<3

No one caught Anna St. Louis?

Whip it up good

Stories, Books, Music and Films when you want to feel something without doing a thing. S.B.M.F. from the comfort of your chair. TOday only, best offer.

love it

Nice surprise to see Rodrigo Amarante in the videoclip

I was left wanting more …..

on dirait un peu feu chatterton aussi you know !

Kevin Morby told NPR about the process of writing City Music:

“I first wrote this song on the banjo — my initial intent for it to be an instrumental piece — many years ago. Then, one day at band practice, I started playing it on my guitar while we were getting set up and the band jumped in and we developed it together. I had always loved it and wanted to use it for something, and was happy that it found a home on this record. We gave it a real Marquee Moon [an album by the band Television] makeover with my guitarist Meg Duffy’s ‘guitarmonies.’ I wanted the lyrics to be as simple as possible — for the music to convey the real feeling and the lyrics to only act as a sort of guide. To me, the music represents what it feels like to walk through a photogenic part of a city alone, lost in your own world while surrounded by many. I call this ‘city music.’”

well I'll be damned

ΑΡΙΣΤΑ.

W O W !!!

Genial!!

Inherent Vice, anyone?

yeah! so goog! but why does it reminds me on khruangbin....?

Beautiful.

Hank Williams Sr. jacket

This sounds like its inspired by Badlands Spacek monologue style

Kim on drums!

The lady talking reminds me of the movie Inherent Vice.

can someone explain me what is the "tye" or the thing is wearing around the neck ? I found nothing on the net and i really want to understand what it is. thank you

It's a bolo tie my guy

@Joe thanks dude

Mars Argo 2.0

There's Matt and Kim playin g along in the video !!!!

This is one of those rare bands where every song they sing is a gem. Just brilliant!

The worst song I've ever heard

love it!

This sounds like Michael Bolton doing a Pepsi commercial with vocals that are a cross between Dylan and a Muppet with lyrics penned by Scooby Doo. This is some incredibly horrible hipster nonsense give up.

Anne Marie Nester why don’t you give up? Or write a song and have it be watched by millions? Jealous and in denial of how amazing this mans music is

Songs a banger!

Oh, that shitty music...

sounds like Carnatic classical !

Cotto kashla marrie haha

She has a nice voice, what accent is that?

More radiohead than themselfs 🤔

"each evening after dinner, as the sun got low, my husband and i would go into the park and sit near the pond and buy ice cream from the man who would walk around with the ice chest. we would eat the ice cream there and then walk out of the park on the opposite side and into the bars just as they were opening their doors. and each night each bar had a band playing music, and the music was electric. different than the music back home, as this wasn't music from the country, but from the city. so each night, my husband and i would dance to the city music until the bar was closing, and the band would pack their drums into a taxi and drive away. and we would return back to our apartment the same way we came, through the park and past the pond. and in the late mornings light of the next day i would watch my husband change. first his pants, then his shirt, then his shoes and hat, before finally straightening his tie. i would put on a dress, then put on some coffee, and we would do it all over again."

Kim from Matt & Kim!!!!!!!!!

how can you not understand what it means?? thats actually the point of the video!!!

This is great!

brazilllllll amarenteeeeeeeeee

yes i love this

Came here because of car commercial song Harlem River. Lost interest in the second verse.

Sounds like Marquee Moon from Television

THANK YOU! I've been trying to figure this out for months.

i cant i just cant

fucking genius son

What a beautiful music video

Matt and Kim <3

I said STOP IT, KEVIN!!!

Stop it, Kevin.

My sister is literally forcing me to like this. Shes been wanting me to listen to this song since forever. Her overhype on this song keeps me from listening to this unbiased. So far i do like but im not that impressed?

I really love this song. The first time I heard it was the Wake & Bake morning show on wfmu.org and it gets better every time Clay Pigeon plays it. Its magical.

Why is it fashionable for grown women to do the baby-talk thing? Twee is so 20 minutes ago.

its disturbing

Bonnie from family guy

Fandanadobbie, great great song and video...yeehaw!!!

Rodrigo Amarante cameo 👌🏻👌🏻

Vim pelo Rodrigo.

This song plays in my heart every time I leave a great city like Portland, OR or Seattle.  SI featured it in my podcast here:http://eagle981.com/dan-days-podcast-september-7-2017/

Rodrigo Amarante as the ice cream man

teen wolf Tuff

Why not included in the list of 2017 albums from Wikipedia this excellent album by Kevin?

Page 32 of the July/August issue of Men's Health brought me here.

Pretencious hipster awesomeness!

Inherent Vice nod in the beginning?

Hold up, 5:32
Kim from Matt and Kim?
Anyone?!

oh shit, matt too

Great album!!!

Rodrigo Amarante <3 <3 <3 <3

Rodrigo Amarnte Ice Creamer

write a song called Inside baseball

hahahahahaha meu deus o Amarante ali que lindo <3

Love Singing Saw. Love the new album. The guitar sound/playing on City Music reminds me of Television. That clever interplay between two guitarists. Noice. x

great video and song. love the guitar sounds

I really wanted to hate this but it's pretty good.

This is so good. Both the video and Kevin Morby, Kevin Morby puts on a show glad I saw him at Boston Calling

Aí sim Amarante

I love this. This is such a great music video <3

It remembers me something but I cannot remember what.. someone can help me?

morby has a unique aesthetic

guess what all u dumb asses with ur judgements on all I do inside my own life. Regardless of what u think and feel or say my beloved still loves me and daily each second my breathe breathes inside me by Christ. for my love Jesus Christ

Am i the only one noticing that blatant guitar tones rip-off? - it's clearly Television's! And so good :)

Exactly!! Thought nobody would notice.

diet mac demarco is the best

if anything, mac demarco is a diet version of this.

They are both so bland and pretentious (Morby moreso)

That sums it up a poor man's version of demarco
