Staves, The - Black & White Lyrics
See myself in black and white
It isn't done, it isn't right
See it there before my eyes
It's a sorry song, a sorry sight
I couldn't sing, I couldn't sleep
Beat your chest with both your hands
For all I was, for all I am, all I am
Then all my thoughts solidify
To sudden diamonds in my mind
I lit the fuse so run and hide
So honey sweet and sugar kind, sugar kind
Black and white, it isn't right
Cut the ties that keep me up at night
Or make me see myself in black and white
Well I can bite my lips, I can chew my hair
But I'm still stone heavy and unprepared
Like an empty chair I was always there
Well I can bite my lips, I can chew my hair
But I'm still stone heavy and unprepared
Like an empty chair I was always there
Black and white, it isn't right
To hold me down and bleed me dry
Cut the ties that keep me up at night
Or make me see myself in black and white
See yourself in black and white
It isn't done, it isn't right

Staves, The Black & White Comments
This video is a slice of absolute genius and the song is just unbelievably good. Come back to it time and again.
5 years ago Snapchat came through with this banger
i here from EmisuLIVE (EmisuShow)
I think Josie and the Pussycats on river dale would do a good cover of this song
amazing
This is a great music video
I wish I could sing like that with my sister...just one problem I can't fucking sing! My sister has a pretty good voice while I have this horrible voice!😂
But also the scene wherever tear runs down her chin and she takes off her ring, makes my so sad...😕
Where a*
can't stop watching this. Brilliant.
great - wish it was longer
They're HAIM, but British. I'm obsessed
+Cayla Newnan my thoughts exactly when i heard this song for the first time!!! so glad someone else recognized this
They’re not British though
Great vid too, thanks to mr buxton & bug for the recommendation.
I wish I had some sisters to harmonize with!! I'm stuck with non singing bros
Me too!
i listen to this again and again and it only gets better
this is a feature of quality
As well as being a great song/video, love the raw guitar in my left ear when listening on headphones.
Great song, brilliant song/video combination.
These Angels were Heaven sent.
Gorgeous song. Remind anyone else of Zero 7?
Great harmonies in this song! Love the film clip too!
Is this an audition for the Bond: Spectre theme song?
I dont think I could ever get tired of their voices, absolutely beautiful
I love it
HAHAHAHAHA
Awesome video guys! Thank you for existing... <3
ahahah love this video!!!
Thank you snapchat
awesome music, awesome video :D
Why am I so obsessed with this song.... Thank you snapchat :)
I Heard it on snapchat and now it's my fav song💜
Thank you snapchat, this is a great song 😀
Thank you snapchat for bringing me here
Thanks snap chat 😅
the guys from Bon Iver as the camera man and the other newsreader...
im loving the new music, and this vídeo is great, Jess looks too cute as the weather girl btw. greetings from Chile
The 3 sisters play the weather girl, the makeup girl and the camera girl, right?
I was wondering why they looked alike, thanks for pointing it out
I'm seriously obsessed with this song and video. So mesmerizing
Glad to see The Staves on Noisey! I'd love to hear an acoustic version of this song!
the only complaint I have...I wish the song was longer :)
english folk rock sisters
new track from upcoming album
Always a great video from Noisey, yeah?
ARGH this is just all kinds of amazing.
Well this is undeniably fantastic.
niceeeeee
This is so well-executed, gorgeously composed & well-acted (and a really interesting new type of Staves' music video) - the only complaint I have is that I wish the song was longer because *damn* it's a good song (slightly Tongue Behind my Teeth-esque?)
cool video, awesome song, the staves are rock and roll!! march 23rd come to me!!
Okay song, pretty dumb video. I especially liked the "Scott's been cheating on you" bit because I definitely wouldn't have been able to decipher this mystifying enigma of a picture show without it.
Awesome video couldnt look away the whole way through. Reminds me a bit of G Eazy's video for 'i mean it' same sorta style though i think the way this plays out is more interesting
siq shit
What did the fashion/make-up woman tell Scott?
"She knows"
Really fantastic story telling. The structure keeps the watcher interested–well executed. Giving me a sort of chill Kimbra vibe.
Interesting.
Great video. Great song. Great story.
Absolutely great! *-*
The video was intriguing. A little anticlimactic...
Cool song .
Nice voice.
