Raveonettes, The - Observations Lyrics






To live like other people
I never think I’ll do
And so my love i give into this dark

Flowers in the day time
And Lucifer at night
This woman said I’m torn between two lives

Visions of young lovers
Holding hands in joyful lights
Wishing they will never be apart

And so again I hold on
To someone I can't have
Obsessed with all the things that we could do

Take me on a night drive
And take me home again
A quiet trip where we will meet the end
To live like other people
I never think I’ll do
In defiance of a love not....
In defiance of a love not realized

Raveonettes, The Observations Comments
  1. J.... B....

    Observations remind me of a special person and also takes me way back into childhood ......

  2. D.... w....

    Superb

  3. K.... ....

    Adorable song.

  4. r.... K....

    Im getting some weird ambient rolling stones vibe. Its cool

  5. M.... S....

    As cold as ice....

  6. W.... ....

    Clearly this is just gimmie shelter...

  7. S.... A....

    "Observations" by the Raveonettes plays like "Gimme Shelter", but like, not really.

  8. S.... ....

    Best ❤❤❤

  9. S.... H....

    Make me think about Gimme Shelter. However its a beautiful song

  10. A.... s....

    Night driving music

  11. N.... S....

    Does the jam at the end have a bit of 'Gimme Shelter' in the mix?

    I keep hearing new things there, mostly sounds that are reminiscent of a style rather than a sample of a specific song. But I just nodded off listening to this, and in my dream it became a mashup of Observations and Gimme Shelter. (Which I suppose I should make, if no one else has already done so.)

    N.... S....

    It is a clear rip off.

    N.... S....

    Its in the beginning ot the song

  12. V.... P....

    Thanks Alpine Cars, wonderful song!

    exelentes melodias!!!!

    G.... ....

    +Alexis David Idem !

  17. d.... ....

    To live like common people, i never think i;ll do

  18. G.... ....

    i am in love with this sound. kind of reminds me of Hey by the Pixies. it's incredibly sexual in the darkest way. i finally heard the lyrics after 3 years of listening to this song. and they blew me away too.

    G.... ....

    Gimme Shelter from rolling Stones

  19. A.... F....

    beautiful

  20. A.... B....

    Pure love! 

  21. j.... h....

    Flowers in the daytime and lucifer at night...

  22. T.... ....

    If you don't like the distortion then you don't like shoegaze. How could you not like shoegaze???

  23. M.... S....

    Beautiful.

  24. M.... ....

    This is the first time something by The Raveonettes left a lasting impression on me. They finally put into one song coherently all of the twists in composition that had previously yet to formulate in proper resonance. And why not this song to accompany their most truthful lyrics?

  25. K.... U....

    impressive!!!

  26. d.... g....

    Weird, I don't hear any distortion...just awesomeness

  27. B.... N....

    Don't like distortion.......then don't like Raveonettes, go listen to other stuff. I know this band is good, because hey, I like what I hear. That's all I need to know.

  28. D.... S....

    sounds nothing like gimme shelter. the lead at one point kinda sounds like it, but the song in general doesnt really.

  29. M.... ....

    a nice song but it's the same bloody 3 chords all the way through....yeah does sound awfully like Gimme Shelter

  30. R.... T....

    I guess we will never know if this band would be good or not since they ruin all the melodies and harmonies with that lame distortion throughout the entire CD. In several of the songs where the distortion goes away, you get glimpses of how thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing the CD could have been. I wont be buying anything again until I listen to all songs before hand to ensure there is no distortion. Its not a style or an artistic metaphor, its just plain annoying.

    R.... T....

    i guess you will never know, we allready do!!

  31. w.... ....

    sick! :D

  32. N.... J....

    i love how it sounds like 60's <3

  33. B.... M....

    makran to koryfeo komath ths xronias........panemorfo

  34. s.... ....

    This song is brilliant.

  35. m.... ....

    I think i tripped with this one. SO deep and dark!

  36. M.... ....

    you're making a big mistake. Lust lust lust is amazing

  37. F.... C....

    I do love this song

  38. S.... S....

    awesome

  39. i.... ....

    Excuse me, but that ist f**king great!!!

  40. i.... ....

    This is so ... fuck yes \o/

  41. L.... ....

    The only Raveonettes album I've listened to is Raven In The Grave, and I really liked it's darker atmosphere. I'm okay with this.

  42. b.... j....

    Haunting....and lovely

  43. b.... j....

    Gives me chills....what a lovely song to drive to .

  44. b.... m....

    Hier soir , 22h30 sur le chemin du retour , RTL 2 ...... Magique !!!!!
    Je me la repasse en boucle ...une telle émotion ....

  45. D.... W....

    It almost came down to me banging my head on the wall, see if memory served me better, trying to remember what other song has really similar trippy guitar tunes. Besides "Gimme Shelter", like Ryan Vazquez pointed out, it reminds me a lot of "Baby Says" by The Kills. I can die in peace now that I figured that out. Cheers ;)

    D.... W....

    Wow, I never thought of that but the similarity is undeniably there! Great association!

  46. b.... ....

    Cool song.

  47. e.... a....

    I feel like I died first :)

  48. c.... ....

    this is fucking amazing. and it rips on guitar.

  49. G.... M....

    Cool song!!!

  50. M.... E....

    id REALLY love to get the guitar tabs!
    if someone has them PLZ contact me :)

  51. s.... ....

    every band improves, changes. i like the way they took to refresh their repertoire. i love their older songs, i love the newer ones, cuz the same awesomeness shines on both, just in different package

  52. N.... R....

    hmmm...my song of the year .

  53. M.... ....

    I prefer the surf/rock n roll sound of the raveonettes. This isn't bad though. Sune needs to crank the reverb up to 10 and just rip on the guitar.

  54. M.... W....

    noooo, its pretty much the whole song. :)

  55. C.... P....

    I like it & I think it's good to experiment & for them to broaden their sound a little but I think it could be better without the piano. The Raveonettes are a guitar band - it's what they do best.

  56. R.... V....

    Sounds like Gimme Shelter.
