School Of Seven Bells - Connjur Lyrics






How does someone with nothing end
Up with so much to show for it
All kinds of people, places, and things,
Your cheap doormats and decorations
And to think it was all just a dream,
One fantastic hallucination

Keep on polishing your golden
Wall of trophies and self portraits
We'll just smile and wait till he knocks off
Your designer rose colored glasses
And you'll see what we see nothing but
Old dust, peeled paint, and broken glasses

A simple imprint imagined
I was the hill we walked
I was the walk that swung from your legs
I was your words wet cast in my thoughts
Those who say dreams are just dreams
Say words end when you can't hear them
Listen closely as they fade
And witness the world's construction

    Oh man. Can't stop listening to it. Please! RELP!

  19. R.... J....

    @macphistomo I will add White Sea to my list of artists to check out. By the way, I have a couple of my own demos posted on my channel, "Sun Child" and "Useful Lives." I'm hoping to release my first, long-anticipated (by like 8 people) album some time in 2011. I'd be curious to know your thoughts on them, if you don't mind giving them a listen.

  20. R.... J....

    ...through repeated listens. One of my best friends is an unrepentant U2 fan. He recognizes that the newer stuff is practically a guilty pleasure, but he stands by them, anyway. I've liked Sufjan in the past, but I had a girlfriend who kind of burned me out on him. I'm generally stuck on 80s new wave, Brit shoegaze, electronica, and psychedelia. I've been listening to The Telescopes a lot lately.
    A lot of their stuff is mediocre, but when they're good they're insanely good.

  21. R.... J....

    @macphistomo I'm very slow to get into new music, or music that is not time-tested. The fallacy in my way of thinking on this matter is, of course, that contemporary music can also be good. I think it's just that I used to praise bands that I now consider to be indulgent or uninspired. I'm embarrassed to say when I was 20 I liked Pedro the Lion and Bright Eyes. Happily, I snapped out of that spell pretty quickly, but the lesson learned was that I should allow my opinions to form slowly...

  22. R.... J....

    @macphistomo I have been having the most pleasant, civil discussions with people on Youtube lately! Whatever happened to flame wars? "I don't agree!" "Well ur a fag!" "Yeah? Up yours, dillweed!" Is the Youtube community becoming more mature on the whole, or have I just been really lucky in avoiding meatheads the last several months?

  23. R.... J....

    @macphistomo But what I find disturbing is people who like good music, but can't seem to discern the difference between it and horrible music. For example, I know a girl who likes The Cure and Belle and Sebastian (reasonably good, though not everyone's cup of tea) and Maroon 5 (gasp!). The name of that band is almost a four-letter word. When I have kids, they won't be allowed to say that name. And she doesn't like them in a campy, ironic kind of way, either. She actually thinks it's good.

  24. R.... J....

    @macphistomo Would you not agree that one who is characterized as having good taste must not only approve what is good, but disapprove of what is bad? Some people are transition, I suppose. When I first heard My Bloody Valentine I didn't immediately get rid of everything inferior in my CD collection. It took time. But the process had begun. This anecdote supports your view. I think there is hope for people with bad taste...

  25. R.... J....

    @macphistomo Just realized I used the wrong "accept." Unacceptable!!!! I hope there's a cure for the disease of poor spelling/grammar/syntax.

  26. R.... J....

    @macphistomo This point of view of yours implies that there is hope for those who did not receive musical education early on, and for those well into adulthood who have the disease of poor taste. I want to believe you are right, because I want there to be hope for them. But I can't except a statement only because I like its implications. I have to think it through logically to determine whether I agree. Thanks for the food for thought. I'll get back to you.


  27. R.... J....

    @macphistomo I blame lack of education. Most people with any kind of classical training--whether in voice, piano, or guitar--have better taste in music than those who don't. If children received proper music education, they'd be happier and more creative (Plato might even argue that they'd be more "moral"). But most importantly, none of the garbage in top 40 radio would find a market anywhere.

  28. R.... J....

    @macphistomo In Europe stuff like this is played on the radio. I think an unfortunate by product of the American profit-obsessed capitalistic approach to music is a sort of "quantity over quality" mass production of music that preys on the gullible masses. Our top 40 is embarrassingly bad, but it still rakes in millions of dollars.

  29. G.... A....

    @macphistomo oooooo stressssyyyy!

  30. s.... ....

    This one and "Half Asleep" are the most frequency listened songs by me in my MP3!

  31. C.... C....

    love this

  32. T.... S....

    @neurochris Thank you. :) You too.

  33. v.... ....

    Theres always hope take care!

  34. T.... S....

    This song is so beautiful and it gives me a lot of hope. Coming from a disadvantaged and financially broken background, while hating the materialism and wanting only comfort...this song gives a lot of hope and meaning.

  35. C.... ....

    I'm a little lost on that reply. Not because I dont know who it's to, obviously me, but because I never left a comment here to be replied to. lol help me out a bit to remember if u can please.

  36. p.... ....

    really good live as well, first heard them opening for m83....quite a pleasant surprise.

  37. r.... ....

    i like the version of this song that was played on world cafe, but this is still amazing

  38. R.... ....

    iamundernodisguise is a good song

  39. J.... R....

    I just saw this Video on NewNowNext. It excites me when I find music THIS good out there that I had no idea about. Over the last few days I have become a HUGE fan!

  40. C.... ....

    very true, but at the same time i'm glad this and many others are not cuz then it would be tarnished by the masses and molested on continuous non variety playlists over and over. when its out on its own its nice, cuz when it comes around, its like a gem in music, rare, but beautiful while it lasts.

  41. p.... ....

    love it!!

  42. M.... ....

    I love the song!

  43. E.... ....

    Same here, reminded me too much of what i loved about Cocteau Twins which jazzed me when they compared them together.

  44. g.... ....

    I heard about them this morning on NPR while driving into work and was instantly hooked by those amazing vocal harmonies.

  45. R.... R....

    I love this group. They are faily new, but put out great music.

  46. g.... ....

    Just discovered ém. This is rate good music. Thanks for uploading.
