Yeasayer - Longevity Lyrics






Harmonizing, with a, go softly face
Just like the old days
Golden, seaplane, dollar, tossed in the take bin
What a bargain

Time will bear the yellow knife
Found oysters from the beach
Undressed from the waist
My girl says that

All the rain promises
Is to give life to the seeds, see
Live in the moment
Never count on longevity, please

Ribbons, showing, very, plainly on her skin
Okay i want in
Heels overhead, with her, never monetized
My lovely space case

The time done in bed with she [?]
Legs bruised up from the beast
Undressed from the waist
My girls says that

All the rain promises
Is to give life to the seeds, see
Live in the moment
Never count on longevity, please

Yeasayer Longevity Comments
  1. T.... ....

    Will this song be in Grand Theft Auto VI?

  2. O.... D....

    The more I listen and watch Yeasayer the more I'm convinced they' are the best band in the world.

  3. M.... H....

    Love them :')

  4. I.... b....

    Best violin

  5. E.... A....

    Experimental+Jazz+Electro+Rock+ Traditional! Amazing!!!!

  6. c.... s....

    amazing song! Fragrant World is the best album so far

  7. Y.... W....

    ou guys are incredible

  8. o.... ....

    It brings me some amount of sorrow that Yeasayer has yet to take off.

  9. J.... ....

    So much better than Kanye West.

  10. C.... G....

    Fuck they are so cool.

  11. L.... H....

    Hey Yeasayer Band!!! Can you guys do a new videoclip of Don't Come Close?
    I was playing Grand Theft Auto V and I meet your awesome music and I wan't to see you singing... ;))) You guys will got lots of viewers.

  12. D.... ....

    My biggest problem with this song is that it's too short. Sooo good!

  13. M.... ....

    yo hubiera ido por la pura musica sin vocal o letra

  14. D.... L....

    Faz clip para a musica Don't Come Close

  15. M.... B....

    Such luscious hair..

  16. H.... B....

    Skeletons make good music.

  17. Q.... N....

    They're not good at PR like other bands.

  18. J.... ....

    why does this video not have more views???

  19. A.... A....

    i guess indie bands are NOW paying homage to Michael Jackson, he was too mainstream for them before he died. the indie community can be so fickle.

  20. t.... ....

    New York puts out the best bands.

  21. G.... J....

    I think the main riff of this song is a slowed-down sample of "White Hot Magic" by the Polyamorous Affair. Just realized this after hearing that song in a Skyy Vodka commercial.

  22. d.... ....

    Fred Armisean in the production booth apparently

  23. M.... B....

    I can't believe it took me a whole year to realise that Yeasayer had released another album out - shame on me...

  24. E.... C....

    saw them at electric forest, so gooodd

  25. p.... ....

    Free show @ First Ave in Mpls tomorrow.

  26. J.... F....

    Saw them 6-27-13 in St. Louis they rocked came back on and did a 3 song encore!! Love Yeasayer!!! Repter was awesome too!!!

  27. D.... K....

    SO good.

  28. M.... A....

    Cant Wait to see these guys in ATL!

  29. M.... S....

    *Weird

  30. K.... ....

    Why does this not have more views?!? Greatest band ever.

  31. H.... N....

    weard !

  32. B.... S....

    So there are two retards in your family?

  33. T.... C....

  35. N.... O....

    heavenly.........

  36. D.... K....

    Oh god. All that goodness

  37. j.... b....

  38. L.... G....

    HOW HOW HOWWW DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS TO ME?!! Every time i hear a song its like im a 13 year old girl on my first date ever. every fucking song...HOW?!!!!!

  39. M.... ....

    that song was awesome not sure wat ur talkin about.

  40. B.... S....

    This band sucks an endless amount of shit. Art is dead, it seems.

  41. H.... ....

    whoever thinks they can categorize music based on vocals alone clearly hasn't listened to much music, or defines music in way the vast majority does not. You must think this band has never played a live show. Don't bother answering, that statement wouldn't be any more ridiculous than most of what you've already said.

  42. C.... K....

    Play this on 12inch sub an 18inch fifteen 8s and a ten inch subwoofer then your good to go SICK WITH FUCKEN BASS

  43. S.... ....

    It seems we've become far too preoccupied with the origins of the sound rather than the the sound itself...

  44. z.... ....

    the indian guy has lovely teeth

  45. S.... ....

    Oh Cale, what are you thinking? This crap over Aloha? Shame.

  46. E.... V....

    Anand Wilder... I'd wrap him in bacon

  47. g.... ....

    worst music video ever, they aren't even playing any of their instruments. what a fail

  48. K.... J....

    FANTASTIC SOUND! LOVE THIS ALBUM :)

  49. S.... L....

    That deep bass is beyond orgasmic

  50. c.... ....

    you're quite the musical conservative, aren't you? yes, all music should remain the typical pop song, just a completely straight beat with a perfectly melodic line on top. totally.

  51. T.... ....

    1dmbfan let's hear the music you make. I can probably guess that you don't play shit or no anything about music theory. You seem like the type that critiques with no base knowledge of what you're talking about based off of your previous posts. Don't knock other people putting their shit out there if you're not contributing yourself.

  52. M.... ....

    Loving the new album!!

  53. M.... ....

    Lemme' guess, you listen to dubstep?

  54. O.... ....

    Love Yeasayer from France !!!

  55. y.... t....

    loving the new stuff! anyone else??

  56. J.... W....

    how was laneway for you? i went....FANTASTIC! FARKS YEAH

  57. T.... R....

    To summarize this song, YOLO.

  58. 7.... ....

    Saw you guys for the first time at Laneway Singapore - awesome set, thanks v much!

  59. C.... D....

    Spoken like a true hipster.

  60. C.... B....

    I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU GUYS AT LANEWAY

  61. s.... ....

    Well, I love this song and video! And even if Anand Wilder's face has disintegrated, he has to be the most beautiful man that I have ever seen. Wow, especially when he is playing that violin! <3

  62. A.... ....

    think they gave a bit too much energy.

  63. d.... p....

    i cant seem to think straight after this song!

  64. c.... ....

    This song is the definition of wow

  65. M.... D....

    00:31 ...

  66. a.... ....

    actually I found this quite meh. But at least they try.

  67. R.... ....

    A lot of the sounds are from the guitars. They use heaps of pedals and shit.

  68. M.... H....

    Wow, some actual music.

  69. A.... S....

    Yeah, who cares if someone is slightly "hipster." I'm called hipster all the time just because I like bands like this, and I also listen to one direction. No one is truly and completely hipster, scene, emo, etc.

  70. K.... S....

    kool. except i dont judge ppl. "Hipster" is just branding ppl..

  71. P.... �....

    flux pavilion brought me here...

  72. M.... H....

    Talk about doing everything your producer tells you to do.

  73. A.... S....

    Comes to yeasayer video because tired of pop music.
    Gets Pop ad.

  74. z.... ....

    shutup you hipster!

  75. e.... g....

    grand Yeasayer, i love this band

  76. C.... ....

    So your complaining about hipsters being hipsters in denial. So your the lowest of the low?

    This sound is AMAZING! i love the vocals and the message behind this great song. To me it says, live for the day and take nothing for granted because it will be over before you can even comprehend. Stay Fresh, great stuff. (the violin and xylophone were very cool as well.) :)
