Settle Down Lyrics:
I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Won't you settle down with me?
Settle down
We can settle at a table..
A table for two
Won't you wine and dine with me?
Settle down
I wanna raise a child
I wanna raise a child
Won't you raise a child with me...
Raise a child
We'll call her Nebraska
Nebraska Jones
She'll have your nose
Just so you know
I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Won't you settle down with me?
Settle down
Run from Angela Vickers
I saw her with you
Monday morning small talking on the avenue
She's got a fancy car
She wants to take you far
From the city lights and sounds deep into the dark
Star so light and star so bright
First star i see tonight!
Star so light and star so bright
Keep him by side!
I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Baby there's no need to run
I'll love you well
I wanna settle down
It's time to bring you down
On just one knee for now
Lets make our vows

[@RIUUI007]

This is good music, but how was this ahead of its time? I didn't see or hear anything groundbreaking to justify being called ahead of its time. Not trying to be a douche but I just wondered what made you say that.

[@ifediran.]

I think she was ahead of her time, if she'd been discovered now she's give people like Billie Eillish and Dua Lipa a run for their money

[@soundpilatesandyoga8531]

I think ahead of time means people/artists don't get the credit that they deserve at the time. But,if it had come out later, in would have been everywhere. Unfortunately, it's a double edge sword to be that. I personally would rather be considered ahead of my time than being everywhere-denoting usually rich and famous. Well, I'd take the riches but not the fame! Lol. I love my anonymity!

[@MimiTheHamster]

Ya I feel like Melanie Martinez was kinda inspired by this

[@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket]

"ahead of her time" You are basic. Can you get more generic?

[@imaniakika]

Heard this song when it came out 12 years ago. I was 17. Kimbra was about 19. She really was ahead of her time. I loved the track then but wow, it resonates so much more now.

[@CharacterString]

The visual story is interesting. 1:24 "I saw her with you..." The girls are competing -- an affair? 2:06 He left. A play on the cliche "husband ran away with a younger woman" -- the wife and mistress are both children. Kimbra is themed in black, a spinster (?), contrasting with the two girls. Yet, a girl sings along 1:57, signaling an association or commonality -- seems like the girl would be Kimbra's younger self, except all three dance together at the end. Playing with dolls, something neither girl does, is a cue for youth and innocence in media, but in reality it an encourages the housewife ideal -- playing house. 0:34 The man is plastic and lifeless -- seems to imply the girls are dolls too. Living out their roles, stiff and mindless. 1:46 most people picked up on the sudden 70's aesthetic -- a time when the gender ideals we know today were strongly being defined. Everything is a little too perfect, contrasting with the story: single mother/broken marriage. The nuclear dream sold to women since they were girls: grow up, get married, have a family -- is a lie, an unfulfilled promise. Told again by the nursery rhyme refrain, "Star Light, Star Bright" the wish tonight? "keep him by side".

[@Alejandro.0101]

damn it Peter, u are insane

[@jonahleighramos3620]

I thought the visual story referred to the mindset of young women decades ago. If you're 18 and aren't married, you're considered an old maid. So many youngsters were quite anxious to settle down.

​@@jersiewitter4022 no no, a "'high profile' female vocalist" Australian artist (my guess is Sia) was initially going to play the female part but then changed their mind, so they had a rethink... so you are right in that the part wasn't made with her in mind, but it's not like she just happened to be at the studio.

Cameo Lover

[@georgenintendo8856]

I wish the direction of modern music was closer to this style. It's creative and does have a new feel not replicated by many songs. Retro yet modern at the same time, very tasteful 10/10

[@alyzahs]

For anyone that's confused, this song is about how girls are taught conform to certain roles like marriage/love, at an early age. Throughout the video, the girl is learning, cooking, cleaning etc(settling), while the man is not doing much of anything (in terms of marriage), for example the scene at the park where the man is still. Showing that the relationship is pretty much as good as a mannequin and mannequins are not really good for anything except display, maintaining an illusion or convincing you to buy into something, when it's not always sunshine and rainbows. The white dress (innocence) and the dolls being burnt shows that the little girls are not left alone to be children and innocent, but instead given roles and values to play etc. Meanwhile, Kimbra is wearing black because she has grown yet still while being influenced by the ideals that society expects from her, she chose to be free from them. There's a lot more to it but hope that gives you some thought, for anyone that did read :)

[@nonalolagirl]

I discovered Kimbra back in 2012 when I had met a nice lad from Hamilton, NZ. He said he knew Kimbra after our music discussions somehow landed on "now you're just somebody that I used to know" and suggested I give her a listen. From there I dove head first into her music and she quickly became one of my favorite artists of all time. I will never understand why she doesn't like Vows. I know it wasn't completely hers or as personal like her other albums but I always wait for the day when I'll hear another album as brilliant as this one. Cheers Kimbra, keep writing your story.

[@2DtoSee]

This gave me "I'm not the only one" vibes, where the young girl is trying so hard to be the perfect wife so that he won't go away with the other girl, but he's still not at the table. The powerful thing is that the two girls are faced with one another other at the end, and they realise that they themselves are not the enemy in the situation, but the image of perfect wives and mistresses being a normal thing, and not respecting themselves in letting the guy do whatever he wants and still get away with it - that is the enemy. Therefore; rather than attacking each other, they unite in dance, and the dolls (which represent the whole image and idea of perfect little conforming wives and mistresses, in my idea) start to burn when they come together and the man isn't even a part of the picture by then, because of them being together and respecting each other.

[@2DtoSee]

I'll also add that the pain in the voice in the lyrics at the empty table part is so powerful for me, in how much she desires for her man to stay and be with her, and has only the "stars so bright" to ask him to stay because that is the only power she has in the situation, and it's so painful

[@2DtoSee]

Ah! And then you have the girls with the "Hey! Oh oh!" at the very end calling other people to be the same and start looking at these issues of what they had lived :)

[@2DtoSee]

Of course, that's just one interpretation, but that's what I got from it ;) May each enjoy their own view, as I have certainly enjoyed reading people's ideas. :) cheers!

[@brianstanton8296]

I think your interpretation is exactly right. You're a smart cookie. However, it makes me sad, because judging by the lyrics alone I wouldn't have assumed it was more liberal bullshit, but alas, it pervades everything I love. The music video ruined the song for me, but I thought it was beautifully choreographed.

[@thevoxdeus]

​@@brianstanton8296 Everyone experiences heart break in one way or another. There's nothing political about that. This song and video are from the perspective of a woman, and maybe that woman grew up in a wholesome house with good parents and assumed that if she just followed along with that pattern, she'd find a relationship like that. Maybe she grew up in a broken home and wants the story book domestic life that she never saw growing up. Either way, she found out that life isn't as simple as that and there are a lot of people in the world who won't cherish you the way you want and need to be cherished. It's a sad lesson, but it's a lesson that most people learn the same way. Could have just as easily been a video about a boy or young man who does his best to stand up for the weak, who is honest and humble, and gets walked all over by a girl who just wants the "bad boy."

[@_Anyone__]

This video is my absolute childhood. A few months ago I found my small old iPod I had when I was around 4yrs old, and this music video was saved on it. I remember, as a child, listening to her sing repeatedly and watching her dance, I was simply mesmerized & entertained. Obviously; when I was a child, I didn't understand what she was talking about. Although I do remember copying the way that girl's skirt was laid, resting on the ground. I do remember that nostalgic heartthrob whenever I am to watch those dolls burn. Her dancing is also very nostalgic... :) I'm happy.

One of the most underrated artists. And also, I just love this song.

[@theotherwise4877]

Thought I was the only one that danced that way. Good to know I'm not alone.

[@xSwordLilyx]

I do too. My dancing is mostly shoulders, since I dance sitting down and doing other things a lot, and spinning and weird, jerky, just-decided-to-do-this movements. But I guess that's just how white girls dance. I like to say I dance so bad looking because it comes from the 'soul' or whatever you want to call it instead of choreography of any kind. As Eminem would say, you just let yourself go.

Still one of my favorite songs. Brings back so much nostalgia everytime I randomly come back to give it a listen.

[@erikeriks]

Wasn't my era. I'm 14 now, almost 15, I lived through the Sorry era and Sam Tsui and stuff, I loved it. To realize that you're never going to get those times back, no matter how hard you try. Fuck time

[@deeandreayarbro3711]

I love this song my daughter be trying to clown me 😂

[@hiroschneider4211]

I wanna settle down I wanna settle down Won't you settle down with me? Settle down We can settle at a table A table for two Won't you wine and dine with me? Settle down I wanna raise a child I wanna raise a child Won't you raise a child with me Raise a child We'll call her Nebraska Nebraska Jones She'll have your nose Just so you know I wanna settle down I wanna settle down Won't you settle down with me? Settle down Run from Angela Vickers I saw her with you Monday morning small talking on the avenue She's got a fancy car She wants to take you far From the city lights and sounds deep into the dark Star so light and star so bright First star i see tonight! Star so light and star so bright Keep him by side! I wanna settle down I wanna settle down Baby there's no need to run I'll love you well I wanna settle down It's time to bring you down On just one knee for now Lets make our vows

[@pumpkin_fox]

I can't believe this video is 8 years old! It's crazyyyy! Still love it though!

[@refigee8752]

Her voice is angelic and unapologetic and humble all at the same time

[@rosiepapadaki5783]

She's one of the most underrated artists ever...change my mind

[@bebelsier]

Anyone here just because your mind went: pOom PoOm pOoM BaH out of nowhere?

[@toxicallypink]

[@eri3182]

No

[@anthonycraouse129]

Yes

[@archvaldor]

It wasn't out of nowhere. Your subconscious is trying to tell you something. If you think about it you'll almost always find the song is connected with something going on in your life.

[@maxvilla5558]

That's joywave isn't it?

[@TryMyMartini]

Kimbra is the definition of "underrated".

[@warrenregaspi5392]

Why is she so underrated....so much talent here

[@fear_less_2020]

I found this song today by mistake AND I LOVE KIMBRA SO MUCH!!!! 2017 ROCKS!

[@AKUMA538]

I first heard it in 2013 in my senior year (:

[@omgthatsthebestnameiveever5479]

SAME!!!!

[@moonanaii]

Vows was such an amazing debut album tbh. I can't believe it's been 6 years wow 😩

[@manolo488]

what a voice...fuck

[@Sweet.peach21]

Best way to describe anything.

[@Gerald321]

I discovered Kimbra when I was in Australia for two years between 2010 -2012. When I came back to the UK Somebody that I used to know was playing everywhere, yet she never took off in the UK despite the success of the song. Such a great artist and underrated x

[@alysondestiny3130]

I hate that it took me so long to become a fan of Kimbra I’ve never heard a song like this and i mean that in the BEST way possible

9 years and counting i’ve been in love with this song. the greatest song OF ALL TIME. CRIMINALLY underrated. what a message. LOVE her🥺

[@adambaum3407]

I would love to thank Gotye for giving this amazing voice spotlight she deserves....seriously, why wasn't/isn't her songs on the radio more??

[@domenicoabdulmadjid]

God brought me here... ❤️❤️❤️ What a great song 🙏👍👍❤️

[@axryry9781]

I have been searching for this song forever! I danced to this song in contemporary class and I fell in love with it! I searched for it but couldn't find it because I thought it said "Want to see you go down" Yes I know they sound nothing alike but while dancing I didn't pay attention to the words more the beat! I am addicted with this song now! It took me months to find!

[@abedel-latifkhalifeh2445]

She literally says "Settle down" so much it might get on your nerves of you heard it on repeat.

[@anavan7]

lol on your gutter mind

[@weird0141]

I started listening gotye and my mom put me this song now I love it pd: 6 years ago

[@noface3928]

I think it's just trying to show how society tends to try and push people to settle down and get married at a very young age, and tells young girls about their duties as upcoming brides too early which is destroying their childhood and freedom. Not sure.

[@Pavel1915]

Good interpretation :)

[@Pavel1915]

By the way, Kimbra in her interview says, that this song she wrote as simply as a joke, reflecting the situation that it's so stupid to be married at the young age, to limit, or bound yourself with relations and especially nuptial knot, so, in this light, the interpretation of Mao Chan looks even better :) Referring to Kimbra itself, I hope, she changed her views drastically about being married and being engaged, I think, not all relations tend to be so pinion and handcuffing. Maybe I even had some small chance to be her husband (dreams :)). Anyway. Kimbra rocks!11!! :)

[@TheForrbidenFruit]

Maybe in the 30s through the 60s. Which id say is supposed to be the time setting for her song and this video. That interpretation wouldn't be too relevant as of today.

[@enjisama1347]

This was in 2010. Yet she still looks like a modern model. Just, holy fek she is beautiful.

[@billbrandine5857]

OMG. I'm hearing this for the first time in 2022. Kimbra is way so advanced musically for 95% of listeners. This is the next level listening. She's magnificent. I'm stunned.

[@lollylove1107]

Why am I so addicted to this

[@FootballVidsTV]

It's just an excellent music video and song making an excellent point

[@carletonclements]

I kept seeing this as a recommendation when I was watching Gotye songs. Finally decided to give it a shot.

[@johnconnor7038]

Me too!

John Connor... come with me if you want to live.

[@johnconnor7038]

No! I won't fall for that again. The last time I came with someone I was raped behind an arby's.

[@johnconnor7038]

Crap meant to say mugged behind an arby's

[@carletonclements]

[@LOKITYZ]

I found out about Kimbra from that Gotye video, and in that song she sounded a lot like Katy Perry. But here, she sounds nothing at all like Katy Perry, she has a very unique sound and I'm really liking it...

[@kimbrafansforever]

There's a difference between Katy Perry and Kimbra. Katy Perry can't sing. Kimbra can. The end. :)

[@joshdpoor]

Dont even compare the two

[@PattyMichellM]

Before watching the video of Gotye's song I thought it was Katty Perry too. But it's a huge difference once you hear her others tracks.

[@TheBlackBride]

Dude are u dumb or something, ohh my god people are like 'ohh yeah kimbra is in gotye video'dude of course alteast u can see her face?!? People these day

[@Landofjello]

She reminds me of Janelle Monae.

This reminds me of something I heard in psychology class. You are responsible for your own happiness, nobody else is. Yet when where little girls we are taught that we need to grow up and get married and have a family. What were expressly taught as children goes against everything we learn as adults.
