Spalding, Esperanza - Noble Nobles Lyrics
Dining debutantes and bitter powdered sugar fades
Their refined tastes
Come suckle from mama’s wet maid, today
Drinking double gents and wig and rosy cultured views
All kind of when Jesus was sold, today
Manifest in lavish
God wants him to have this
And without a doubt, believe his
Ends a noble so the savage means
Are, deleted from the scene, so
We can believe that we are
Noble nobles with a savage means
So far from home
But none of them shed any tears, at all
Not at all
Talking founding fathers with a free philosophy
That don’t mention me
Or the stain of red blood on their hands, at all
Now, we all
Replay it till we understand, the moral
Of, a story we’re shooting again, tomorrows
Savages!
Manifest in lavish
God wants him to have this
And without a doubt, believe his
Ends a noble so the savage means
Are, deleted from the scene, so
We can believe that we are
Noble nobles with a savage means

Spalding, Esperanza Noble Nobles Comments
She is a revelation!
This performance doesn't do the actual song justice at all
What time signature are the verses in?
D. Snelson 4/4
It sounds like it alternates between 3/4 and 5/4 at times.
Pretty much anything she approaches is breathless. I was an instant fan after "little fly". She's absolutely phenomenal.
The band is not on her level...
beatiful melody
This song is pure magic. I wish I could describe why I love it so much. It evokes the best feelings of joy that all great art does so very mysteriously. I am still working to come to an understanding of the message of this song, in the context of revisionist history and cultural marxism.
This song is about colonization in the US. "come suckle mama's wet maid" refers to how Black women were forced to take care of their captor's children. "all cargo on Jesus was sold" refers to enslaved Africans, ships would have Christian names a lot of times." Manifest (destiny) and lavish, God wants him to have this" refers to how colonizers justified their atrocities against Africans and indigenous people using religion. "without a doubt believe his ends are noble so the savage means are deleted from the scenes so we can believe that we are noble nobles, what a savage myth" - Patriotism in our country, being proud to be "American," because being American is "noble" and our founding fathers were "noble," and what they did to get America is "noble" it because 'Merica! People would rather not think of their founding fathers as the savages they were.
just amazing, no words!
This is not copying Joni Mitchell, it's cloning Joni Mitchell.
You failed to mention that her 5-string fretless bass playing is a Jaco Pastorius ripoff. I'm happy. I hope you're happy too.
It's inspired by Joni Mitchell. That's all.
Shut up you nerds, lol.
Great live performance of one of my favorite cuts in
Emily's D+ Evolution!
Music incredible as always. live presentation VERY "community college" !! Kind of shocked me. not bad... just odd.
didn't liked the backing vocals. But, great music.
+mbsnyderc It wasn't possible to record music until the last century, so no shit it's traditionally a performing art. There's no reason to distance ourselves from technological advances.
I don't see how you could not get enjoyment from a studio album; music is primarily a sonic experience, after all. Do you find it difficult to listen without a visual aid?
@TheGoldfish
I didn't say i didn't like recordings.I have a thousand of them at least,but live is the real thing. right from the artist hands and mouth strait to your ears.you can't fake that unless your a lip syncing pop tart.it's not a visual aid it's just the real thing unfiltered.
@mbsnyderc Seeing artists live is the best way to support them as well, since they don't make much from album sales. That and merchandise.
@TheGoldfish
I couldn't agree more.
That is some bad support band. While Esperanza Spalding plays and sings perfectly, they make foolish mistakes even doing the back vocal. It get's to the point where she needs to sing, play bass, and orchestrate those fools.
At least Esperanza is so good, that carry their dead weight is easy for her.

Really good! Thanks for posting, NPR Music .
