fever ray - seven

I leave home at seven

hear this as 'I recall, at 7'

November smoke and your toes go numb

'smoke' makes zero sense, hear it as 'cold'

"we talk about love, we talk about dishwasher tablets" is gonna walk this

gonna vote "they've said so, it doesn't need no explanation" though

if I had discovered this song before polling had finished, it would have placed on my '09 ballot

voted for 'I know it, I think I know it from a hymn' but voted for the second one for some reason o_O

i vote for Martyn's bassline

"smoke" makes sense if the detail is burning fall leaves accompanying changing weather, maybe?

I know it, I think I know it from a hymn

you can't go by search results. lyrics websites are ALWAYS wrong. always.

listening again, i concede wrongness.

your wrongness shall forever remain on the internet

you've said so

it's definitely "smoke"

i hear "i call at seven", where are you getting the extra syllable from?

have been hearing the earlier line as "innocent, we dream about heaven" but not 100% on that

max could offer more explanation about the lyrics maybe (he did the cover art for the album as you know)

its about... life

its about... god

I wish you'd included the wordless vocal bits that follow "I know it, I think I know it from a hymn", and "they've said so, it doesn't need more explanation", they're so cool and pretty! Though the synth melody that follows the second chorus is even prettier. "Seven" is is by far the best new song I heard in 2009, can't think of anything that would come close.

Also, you realize the lyrics are printed on the album sleeve?

the vocal performance on this owns imo

so so OTM

^^

loooove this song

Under a heavy sky, I ride my bike up, I ride my bike down

this is exactly what you do when you have nowhere to go but are on a bike. voted for this

definitely. she really nailed it with the whole riding the bike both up AND down issue.

After I listened to this clip, I immediately got the record. I love this. Almost as much as The XX. But I fear it'll probably soon replace this as fave record of 2009/

We used to talk on the phone, if we have time, if it's the right time

^^love this part
