Vance, Foy - Regarding Your Lover Lyrics

This is what the men of northern ireland should be doin. Sheer genius.

I was tired of
You telling me your leaving
Every time it came to blows
It's not enough
To say it when you mean it
And then pack your bags and go
And It was hard to be jealous
I'm supposed to be having the time of my life
Now let me say
I would rather had you been vaporised
by a lunar reflection in the sky
than to be beguiled by one so banal
I just never dreamed it could come to that
Well,
Darling I'm not angry
I'm just a little bit confused
Well she just chose the jokes and the quotes of others
Though her eyes know nothing true
But still yet as you lie there,
May she find you in her arms
Has a killer soul, and a burning coal,
It is both hard to hold, hard to put down
That's the way I held you
Though I never will again
Yours faithfully friend

retsamkcub it’s ‘I would rather had you been vaporised by a lunar reflection in the sky than to be beguiled by one so banal’

@Matt Barr so it is. thank you. edited the OP

Goosebumps and tears

ALL IN!!

passionate singing

Nice vocals.. Great track...👏👏👏👏🎶🎤🎵

mends your soul a bit

Love the 0:58 part. Why is it only used once throughout the song? Definitely the best bridge ever written.

Filip T he's one of those artists that you are thankful that they use their creativity in such a way that they leave you wanting more...they don't fatigue your ears ever

Class !!!!

Does any one know what tuning he is in?

+Anneliese Braun This song is in standard tuning I believe. At least that's the way I play it

+Anneliese Braun I believe it's a full step down, i.e. D, G, C, F, A, D

Brilliant performance from Foy!
Anyone know what the vocal mic is? Don't recognise it.

It's our lovely CAD e300 https://www.soundonsound.com/sos/1997_articles/jun97/cadequitek.html

So amazing, one day I hope to play a song with Foy!

Chills.

Back again because I love this performance. Question for your production people-- What lens is being used in the shot at 1:44? Looks like a 1.4 or a 1.8, but I just thought I'd ask :) Cheers! 

Thanks Nick glad you're enjoying this performance he truly is an incredible artist.
Answer to your question the close up shots you see were shot on a 50mm 1.8 with a Canon 600d body.

@The Live Sessions Thanks so much for the quick response! I had a feeling it was a 1.8. Keep up the fantastic videos.

his voice is amazing....sends chills and makes the hairs stand up, if you get the chance to see him live don't miss it. I totally agree with Megan, a truly natural talent.

This man made me cry.

I saw him play a few weeks ago in Georgia and had to drive 7 hours to see him. I went down to the merch table after the show and his manager was there. We told him how much we loved foy and his music. A little while later, Foy Vance himself was standing in front of me, an hour before he was supposed to come out. He spent an hour with us just talking and hanging out. It was the most incredible night. He is such an extraordinary talent and amazing person.

Are you serious with this!?  where has he been all my life?  I've listened to this at least 20 times today, freaking amazing.  Such raw, natural talent.  Drool.

thanks for watching Megan, he really is an incredible artist. 

@The Live Sessions Do you ever record in the States?  I'm releasing an album this summer, would be amazing to collaborate.

@Megan Lick We're based in London, would be amazing to come over to the US though, maybe some day!

I can't imagine being in that room next to him. I bet you could literally feel the music. Incredible.

It was pretty incredible Nick, one of our favourite ever sessions and artists to have filmed. thanks for watching

Incredible, absolutely incredible.  

I would love lyrics

What a song! my word I'm blown away.

that's a super descriptive review right there and very much deserved.

When i open my dictionary and look up the meaning of genius, 'Foy Vance' is all it says, and thats cool with me. :)

damn, some of my favorite song-based music is this super-aching, hyper-melodic, non-strophic, linear chorus-less style of writing. what a powerhouse vocal performance and a huge sounding cedar jumbo guitar! awesome!

Same here, first saw him in a tiny venue in brighton back in 2008 and felt compelled to tell everyone about him every since.
Glad you like the video, we have another one with him and also an interview on our channel. Check it out!

he was an extremely nice guy.

will have to second that! An amazing artist. To be in that small room filming a foot away from him was something we won't forget in a hurry!

Come back to St. Louis Foy! One of the best artists to hear live :)

very nice guy if you meet him :) ,fantastic voice, great song, awesome album !!

so damn good.
