Vampire Weekend - Stranger Lyrics






I-I-I-I
Things have never been stranger
I-I-I-I
Things are gonna stay strange
I-I-I-I
I remember life as a stranger
But things change

Another night indoors
Another sign of life
Wobbling up through the floor

You and Kidada
Ooh, I might get low, low, low
But now I'm too high to know

The sound of you and your sister
I couldn't face these days alone
You got the right light, candles burning
We don't need the moon anymore

I used to look for an answer
I used to knock on every door
But you got the wave on, music playing
Don't need to look anymore

You and Kidada
Ooh, the lights get low, low, low
And I've got nowhere to go

I used to freeze on the dance floor
I watched the icebergs from the shore
But you got the heat on, kettle screaming
Don't need to freeze anymore

You and Kidada
Ooh, the lights get low, low, low
And I've got nowhere to go

Who knows the reason
That kindness lost its hold?
Those better angels
Confined to minor roles

I left the wilding, wilding, wilding days of old
Your house is warmer
The wilderness is cold

You and Kidada
Ooh, the lights get low, low, low
And I've got nowhere to go

  1. B.... ....

    should've used the prismizer smh

  2. J.... D....

    The best part is that fart at 1:18

  3. J.... a....

    Paul Simon vibes ☀️

  4. L.... F....

    The first verse sounds like Bowie with the instrumentation

  5. l.... ....

    Does anyone else hear their songs in old navy?

  6. A.... L....

    Love this song....

  7. G.... V....

    Mmmmmmm....... part Vampire Weekend, part Joanna Newsome, part Grateful Dead, with a dash of what made Springsteen's Born To Run album so great. The new vampire weekend album is a celebration of living in the end of the second decade of the new millenium, as the song Thunder Road was a celebration of living in the eighties.

  8. n.... ....

    Anyone else's favorite song on the album?

  9. A.... L....

    Not only my favourite Vampire Weekend song, but possibly one of my favourite songs ever. Nothing better than country vibes like this. Thanks for making music which always makes me happy!

  10. B.... M....

    My favorite off the new album.

  11. a.... ....

    super cool

  12. M.... W....

    Wicked playlist! Thank you.

  13. S.... W....

    Soundtrack for Stranger Things.

    S.... W....

    Wrong time period

  14. D.... J....

    As soon as the beat comes in, I keep hearing "When the Morning Comes" by Hall & Oates, which is a compliment!!

  15. R.... M....

    I was waiting for the Jackson 5 to come on, and for Ezra to marry Haim

  16. p.... ....

    VW came through.

  17. W.... J....

    08/06/2019

  18. W.... J....

    🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

  19. R.... L....

    why was this band forgotten?

    R.... L....

    In my experience they weren't forgotten at all? Probably depends on your social circle

  20. M.... B....

    Feels like a Bill Wurtz song!

  21. E.... T....

    this is the best song on the album - no doubt about it

    E.... T....

    Honestly

  22. C.... O....

    Fucking great álbum. Love it.

  23. b.... ....

    My absolute favourite from the album. Top notch stuff

  24. R.... T....

    This song is the sound of two halves of a heart mending.
    So sweet.
    And when I found out it was about Rashida Jones, I died, was born, then died again. <3

  25. 0.... ....

    As someone who got out of 6+year relationship 10 hours ago, this song is affecting me on an indescribable level.

  26. L.... S....

    NEED a live version.

  27. E.... P....

    FUNKY!!!!!

  28. T.... H....

    This whole album makes me feel so nostalgic, and idk why it doesn't bring back any specific memories. It just weirdly makes me feel nostalgic about nothing. But I love it

  29. S.... L....

    1:43 is like a reincarnation, pure bliss, turns sadness into hope and kindness and happiness

  30. J.... C....

    This album is the Tits... well worth the 6 year wait... I keep thinking I've found my fav song and it keeps changing but I might have listened to this 50x already....

    J.... C....

    @masturball yeah definitely not a hipster but prep I could get away with 😂😂

    J.... C....

    @masturball Step

    J.... C....

    @danny moulton dude mine too, that song is insane

    J.... C....

    finger back same! and this on fotb

    J.... C....

    @Erik Thorne fingerback is one of the worst songs and makes me doubt whether that guy is a real fan

  31. S.... B....

    My favourite with "Sympathy" and "Sunflower" and "This life" ! :)

  32. A.... C....

    This album is officially Graceland 2!!!

  33. P.... M....

    Fans of Vampire Weekend should be called Vampbites

  34. A.... M....

    Can anyone tell me who does the choirs?

    A.... M....

    It's Danielle Haim you damn potatoes with eyes, of course it's her

    A.... M....

    @João Couto hey dude it's not necessary to be rude.
    Could be her or could be not. I was just telling they possibility of being Greta Morgan because I saw her singing the choirs in some of the last live videos of VW and because Haim is not featured in the title. But sure could still be her although there's no reason for you to answer me like that.

    A.... M....

    @Adrian Morgan ahaha sorry man didn't want to come off as rude xd i never call people potatoes unless i'm fully kidding

    A.... M....

    i mean "potatoes" is an objectively funny word

    A.... M....

    Adrian Morgan Danielle is all over the album, not just the 3 duets so yes it’s her.

  35. T.... b....

    who the fuck invited this girl to ruin our vampire weekend life??? so disappointing

  36. E.... B....

    Not go many views but one of my faves on the album

  37. P.... H....

    reminds me of box of rain

  38. S.... 0....

    My favorite part in this song is the acapella at the beginning. Who agrees?

    S.... 0....

    Reminds me of ooh child

    S.... 0....

    Reminds me of Bernardinho

  39. f.... g....

    i love all the paul simon vibes

  40. p.... ....

    That sax blast 😏

  41. A.... W....

    they sound like the Backstreet Boys

    A.... W....

    **the harmonies

  42. A.... I....

    the way ezra sings "ooh i might get low, low, low" is my new sexuality.

    A.... I....

    A.... I....

    @Renaldo Matadeen Awww thanks for noticing ^_^

    A.... I....

  51. D.... V....

    My dream was that this album would have a love song for Rashida 😍😍

    D.... V....
