Lyrics:
Late night
It's dark and stormy
You start to sparkle before me
You talk, I am unable
Find you on my kitchen table
You are water
You are blood
Just like a moon
You bring in the flood
Yes there are fires and there is death
And there is dying where the fire is met
But you are water and you are good
And you are evil and misunderstood
In the fire after death
There is living where the fire is met
She said
She said the fire is red
See through my eyes
All the specks of dust collide
Did you know that this was all underwater?
Don't it make you feel you don't really matter?
But we coincide
We sit under the sun moon
To think this will all be gone soon
You ask me "how old is this sand?"
Making a dove with your left hand
I am nothing
Nothingness
Not more important than anything else
I am ready to accept and unable to begin to forget
We are nothing
Nothingness
Never settle for anything less
She said
She said the water is red
See through my eyes
All the specks of dust align
Did you know that this was once underwater?
Don't it make you feel you don't really matter?
But we coincide
I know you know that there are things that I know you know that you can't know and I Know you know that there are things that I know you know that you can't own
I know you know that there are things that I know you know that you can't know and I Know you know that there are things that I know you know that you can't own
You can't own the water
You can't stop the flood
You care for the water
Or run for your life
You can't own the water
You can't stop the fight
You can't catch a fire
So run for your life
Did you know that this was once underwater?
Don't it make you feel you don't really matter?
Don't it make you feel the ice start to shatter?
Does it really mean you don't really matter?
Don't really matter, don't really matter
Or does it mean you feel you don't really matter?
What would you rather?
We don't decide

July Talk is soooo much better with both Peter and Lea singing. Such a great contrast in vocal styles that compliment each other very well.

[@Neilly671]

The news still a good song though =D

[@clearcontentment3695]

Feel like this is going to be one of those songs brought up years later for being in something else

[@notDonaldFagen]

Everything is a future tiktok

[@olliverreeve]

Every music bar I go here in Japan I ask the bartender to play July Talk. This song will be my next request 😉

[@coriannm318]

[@snics0619]

Well that was a mindf*ck if there ever was one! My eyes burn and are leaking.

[@curmudgeonrose1780]

What an amazing song

[@dapsychward]

Needed more July Talk

[@DirtyMike1]

What a wicked visual pleasure to a great tune!💥👊💥…..still holding out for the Edmonton show!💥💪💥

[@quadimus]

It was very sad when they had to postpone their Winnipeg (amongst others) concert in December. I was sooooo looking forward to seeing what has become one of my favorite bands, live. Having this video released is a good comfort as I wait with tickets "in hand" to hear of when they rescheduled concert will be. I've heard from so many that seeing July Talk live IS A MUST! I'll get there one day (soon I hope).

[@pinj]

july talk please come back and make more songs. i met you at a show and i’ve loved your music for so long

[@shykids]

love it

[@kordiankrecisz5298]

This is freaking awesome

[@pergouras4260]

I think one could write a whole book about the content matter… the melody, lyrics, rhythm and the usual july-talk-brilliance of the interplay of voices just makes my hairs stand on end. Another song I’ll never stop listening to.

[@nickmiller4544]

Came across this song today in a Mechanic bay immediately click in my head, decided to GL search found it. never hear it from else where, absolutely amazing. not sure why never hear it on Radio

[@adriana.7409]

Thank you for coming back to Montreal! Looking forward for your next show, this time a full set!

[@jarvis400]

Fantastic!

[@merelmulders5846]

Gleiss 22 soon!!!!!!!

[@merelmulders5846]

Sort of soon....

[@elninoson5282]

I don't know how I feel about colour becoming a thing in July Talk music videos

[@durchfaII]

Glad i was on the premiere, easily one of my favorite JT's songs

[@juliamorais7225]

Genial!! Love it!

[@angelacarolei3745]

dig it

[@_Bran]

Intro reminds me of a LEMMiNO or Disrupttv video

[@bigbadscar8463]

Is it weird if I say; I had major Deja vu at 4:11 but, felt like I saw this before as soon as I started watching! It was posted 3 hours ago? How many Life's have we truly Lived? In my previous memory this image took the internet by storm becoming a meme, or blew up or something like that. I remember them being on a talk show, talking about it being a meme or blowing up but we will see only time will tell! I saw these guys live in Toronto and I talked with the head of their media team but that's besides the point I felt compelled to see them on a whim and it was my first concert maybe in a past life I did the same!

[@strangebreed4012]

AMAZING. Been loving this song, and the message. Really getting into this new era of JULY TALK IN COLOUR! xo

[@gavinmcdonald]

This fuckin' slaps.

[@fernandes06]

How does this not have millions of views

[@usedtobecool6874]

cool

[@ashlynski]

epic shit

[@tortisrot]

I love this song, but the video feels like it is meant to be re-inverted back to normal. Watching with that fits so much better.

[@hayliemorris5661]

Had there been a change in band members? 🤨

[@postmansam8]

Invert colors then watch it. 🤯

Not bad but I really miss the hard rocking July Talk from the first 2 albums.

[@tragically.rachel]

I know that's Morse code, but idk which. Very creative!!

[@savvyleigh8207]

If you have an iPhone you can invert the colors on your phone and watch the video in actual color almost like a secret music vid👀

[@gkdimovska]

Just did this on Android and wow it was worth it. Super cool!

[@demisemi3407]

Speaking of secret, does anyone know what the Morse code is saying? 👀

This counts as colour, yeh?

[@BrunoRicardoCunha]

The inverted colors don't add value to the video, just add an unnecessary layer interpretation because applied the color grading is good and enough. 2:30 that kiss on the branch 😂 *chef kiss* By I love July Talk since the beginning, so this don't change anything. Btw upload a non inverted version of the clip and test the results.

[@curmudgeonrose1780]

Shut up

[@dmaczak]

not bad, but i think the first album is far better. Good job anyway
