Wye Oak - Fortune Lyrics
If it is binding
If it is finding out
Nothing fills the valley in my chest
Only something I knew I'd regret
Or so I figure
Tugging out the linens on the bed
Leaving no impression where I slept
The truth is always when it's gone, it's gone
And I left you a fortune
And even in the full embrace of love
Is it really just one?
We dream of binding
We dream of finding out
As if we are anything but powerless
And so I figure
And here I find myself
Mourning my condition, I can't tell
If it's proof that I am sick or well
But you can't paint a picture of the sun
You can't see it undone
The truth is always when it's gone, it's gone
But I left you a fortune
And even in the full embrace of love
Is it really just one?

Wye Oak Fortune Comments
Flock of Oaks is amazing! Seriously though... I hope Wye Oak releases this on a full album. This sound needs more exploring.
This one is on my short list for Song of the year - 2020.
If it is binding
If it is finding out
Nothing fills the valley in my chest
Only something I knew I'd regret
Or so I figure
And so I find myself
Tugging out the linens on the bed
Leaving no impression where I slept
The truth is always when it's gone, it's gone
And I left you a fortune
And even in the full embrace of love
Is it really just one?
We dream of binding
We dream of finding out
Morning comes and rider rings the hand
As if we are anything but powerless
And so I figure
And here I find myself
Mourning my condition, I can't tell
If it's proof that I am sick or well
But you can't paint a picture of the sun
You can't see it undone
The truth is always when it's gone, it's gone
But I left you a fortune
And even in the full embrace of love
Is it really just one?
This is pure bliss 🖤 keep on keepin’ on y’all!
Kate Bush, anyone?

Lyrics: If it is binding
If it is finding out
Nothing fills the valley in my chest
Only something I knew I'd regret
Or so I figure
Until I find myself
Tugging out the linens on the bed
Leaving no impression where I slept
The truth is always when it's gone, it's gone
And I left you a fortune
And even in the full embrace of love
Is it really just one?
We dream of binding
We dream of finding out
Morning comes and rider rings the hand
As if we are anything but powerless
And so I figure
And here I find myself
Mourning my condition, I can't tell
If it's proof that I am sick or well
But you can't paint a picture of the sun
You can't see it undone
The truth is always when it's gone, it's gone
But I left you a fortune
And even in the full embrace of love
Is it really just one?
I wish it would be such a good whole album
Best!!!
This song is so fucking LIT.
Did I just see a unreleased vertion of nirvanas mtv unpluged "man who sold the world" cover AS AN ADD! Now thats fkn marketing!
awesome, as a fan of civilian this is right up my alley
I had that same $2 phony Hanes t-shirt. So gnarlyyyyy
I love it
Wye Oak, along with Quilt, are my favourite new band of the millennium. This standalone track (new LP soon?) channels lessons learnt in solo project Flock of Dimes. Harsh jagged guitar & synths that then melt into a lovely lilting chorus. Energy & subtlety, wonderfully arranged & produced. Buy here: https://wyeoak.bandcamp.com/album/fortune.
Love it!
Hey MERGE RECORDS!! !!Hold on tight to these guys and treat them like royalty because they deserve nothing less!
Really great!
Ravi d'écouter ce nouveau titre,)
So pumped on new Wye Oak!! I know you two have been busy with all that's been going on musically (Joyero, Bon Iver, Madeline Kenney). Very glad to know you are putting in time to Wye Oak too!
My heart is once again swelling with emotion and gratitude through Wye Oak and their powerful music. For me, this is perfect timing!
i really like this song! another good one! amazing one! can't wait for the new album.
i like her voice 💙
Incredible!
bende yerin ayrıdır wye reis, o sebeple yerimi belli ediyorum. ilk dinleyenlerden biri olarak selam.
"the louder i call the faster it runs" was one of my favourite things I've heard in 2018, this song is really good!
Hey, missed you lately!
There's lot of new music I haven't checked out yet, catching up to do
How have you been? Anything you can recommend?
aaaaaaaa!!! hello dear friend! i missed you too! sorry for replying now, im taking the time to reply to everyone here since youtube's notification system apparently can't work fast enough and some comments get left behind and don't get through me. maybe my fault, for leaving comments all the time, it's tricky! these days, as far as new music goes im really loving leonard cohen and the collection of unfinished songs (now finished!) - beautiful and heartbreaking, but so tender and inspiring and moving! also a bit of new coldplay and beck (high school loves) but im not too big on those, even though there are some fantastic songs on both albums! how are you? has life been busy or have you just not been hanging out on youtube comment section these days? im actually fine, it's gotten pretty cold here and i guess im really glad that is the only problem i have right now. windy and chilly, but ill try to beat winter! all the best wishes, hope to see you more from now on!
@Sergej Lovrekovic thanks for the reply, and recommendations,
I think Youtube just messed with my subscription to a lot of music channels - I'm going and resubscribing by hand, but it's a pain in the ass. Ah, YouTube, I love and hate you so much.
Anyhow, I'll say hey anytime I come across you, hope you're doing well.
Smell you later
Thank You for This!
