The Lumineers - Angela

[@danieltougaard5721]

She falls in love with a guy (Ophelia). Her father dies and the guy she loves asks her to leave town with him (Sleep On The Floor) but she stays in that town. She marries a guy she doesn't love and has a child (Angela). When she's old and divorced she regrets not leaving town with her lover, back when her father died (Cleopatra). Credit to Swiftologist for this theory.

Daniel Tougaard I hate you "Spoiler"

[@kimsiles3649]

i thought that too but the only thing that doesnt fit is the tattoo in angela ..if she didnt went after him in sleep on the floor she woulnt have gotten the wave tattoo ..

[@danieltougaard5721]

Kim Siles You're totally right. But in "Sleep on the floor", you see her waking up again on the ground, like the whole music video was a dream she had. I don't understand how she got the tattoo.

[@kimsiles3649]

Daniel Tougaard I think it just a way for us to know is the same girl because I don't think the man she married and then left is the guy from sleep on the floor

[@else98elisabeth]

How is Ophelia related though?

[@Kath_Deutsche]

I love how the videoclips all connect together, but are time incoherent as well. Makes you realize that it doesn't matter whether it's 2020, 2000 or 1980 - people are solving the same problems, with the same heartache, pain, happiness and love. We stand at crossroads in our lives, seemingly minor ones, just like the generations before us did. It's sad and calming, connecting, at the same time.

Lumineers have that rare gift of being able to transport you, change your thoughts and emotions and bring up stuff you weren't thinking about 3 seconds ago.

[@s.patriciakandou1660]

The narrative order: "Sleep on the Floor", "Angela", "Cleopatra, "Ophelia" (order is also exact opposite of the time release of the videos on KZbin). After her father's death ("my father in a casket", Cleopatra lyrics), girl is asked by guy to leave town, but she didn't and ends up bearing a child to another guy and of course has regrets ("Angela" lyrics starts with referring to the guy who left town and there's a scene of them in "Angela" video that is taken from the "Sleep on the Floor" clip) and ironically feels free and "home at last" ("Angela" lyrics) when she goes out of the house. In Cleopatra, she's the taxi driver (proof: the same wave tattoo on arm and scar on cheek) and is "divorced" ("Cleopatra" lyrics) (also, the end shows how she didn't enter the house of her ex-husband along with her son) ("Ophelia" lyrics: "got a little paycheck, you gotta move"). Like the Ophelia character in Shakespeare's "Hamlet", the story's about a girl and choices and 'what if's of two worlds (there's always a splitting scene of one's self in all four videos), and, like the Cleopatra character in Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra", she had her times of glory, but that's past now. In the song Ophelia, Wesley (the vocalist) talks of how she has "been on [Wesley's] mind", reflecting on the whole narrative, and thus the production of the brilliantly interconnected songs and video clips. What do you think?

same I was wondering, but maybe: 1. she did got the tatto, under completely different circumstances, and in her imagination it all relates to that first guy and how different her life could've been, or 2. she never got the tatto but she wishes she had, so she imaginates herself with it because it also reminds her of how different her life could've been...

She wouldn’t have had to “escape” if she had the balls, to actually go on the road trip. The relationship with curly hair glasses man probably would’ve failed, but the imaginary version of it, wouldn’t be a crutch to use some man she didn’t even love to get pregnant and resources from.

Everywhere I’d go until I finally got it, the universe would play this song . It’s like a confirmation that when we start to accept and love ourselves, that’s when we truly are able to come home.

There was a time where I would have shared this opinion. I think the first Mumf album and the first Lumineers album were closer in style and I could understand the link with the way melodies we so punctuating on both albums. Mumford is definitely more noisy now, but I love their 3rd album while the Lumineers have gotten quieter in a really lovely way. Cleopatra is a Sunday morning recovery album. I'd definitely say they're both in the same genre.

[@cshreyap]

There's something about the lines "The strangers in this town/ They raise you up, just to cut you down" that just gets me every time. Moving to a new place. Falling in love. Making friends. Learning to call a city your own. Lettings this comfort become your norm. And then it all changes. Something about the purity and innocence of new beginnings being eroded. There is no ostentation. There is no decorum. It is just the bittersweet truth of our shifting lives, as we search for anchor.

[@GBees-hu1lj]

[@julialedermann7096]

[@Hollywoohorse]

This song means so much to me. I was in a very toxic relationship for almost 6 years and I used to listen to this and just dream of getting out, of getting anywhere at all. This whole album was my shining light at the end of the tunnel. I used to listen to it all the time, just urging myself to go like "Angela" did. But he had made me dependent on him and it was scary to think of leaving. I'm two months out now and I couldn't be happier. I got my own apartment right down the hall, he moved out of town, I got my old job back and everyone around me has been so happy for me and supportive. But if this song hadn't stuck in the back of my head, always reminding me that one day my life would be different, who knows where I'd be now. Probably still sitting in that apartment with that asshole. But no, now every day I open my eyes and I feel the same freedom and happiness that she feels when she gets out of the car at the Three Ladies Motel. I'm finally free, with a little help from Cleopatra 😉💜

Here's the divergent paths: Sleeping on the Floor - Either she "left this town" and went with the guy, got married, got pregnant, OR she never left. The end. Angela - Either she gets back in bed & stays with the guy she had married, OR she leaves and starts a new life. Cleopatra - Either she drops her son off with the father she left, OR is coming home to the man she married because she never left him in the first place. Moral of the story: Go out and have YOUR adventure, because all the paths would've be different had she just stayed home. Truly beautiful.. made my heart swell for life.

Thats why in Cleopatra she smiles, when they're got to her taxi-because that memory is precious, and they truly were happy back than. But well, she always runs, and she run this time. Like in Ophelia (although I know lumeeners said it's about fame) she can't stay with someone. So she's leaving while pregnant, and that seemed like a right choice back at the time (she is "at home"-again on the road, again running away), but in Cleopatra she kind of regrets that, and thinking about what would have happened if she had never left. That's why in final scene she is not smiling, not even for a second. It's a close up on her-kind of sad-face. The ending of this video is tricky, though.... What you guys think?!

[@blackhammer9548]

GARY J: why didn't they just make a movie and everything ends there than taking us here n there guessing which song comes first then that comes sec wtf

[@garyj2841]

Come on man, it's art ! I actually love figuring things out & having a WTF moment when I see something (like her son in the car). But the bigger question is, what's a black guy doing listening to the Lumineers ?? LoL, jk.

[@Thomasthedreadengine]

I was in a not-so-great relationship a few years back and I used to wake up in the middle of the night and sneak out of our apartment to go on long wandering drives where I would think about just driving away and never coming back. I found this song right at the very end of that relationship, and I used to listen to it on repeat. It gave me something that I really needed at that time in my life, and I am glad I can come back to it now and remember just how far I have come.

[@lucianalefay]

Has anyone noticed THE THREE LADIES motel? Cleopatra, Angela and the girl from Sleep on the Floor!!! Mindblowing! The Lumineers are incredible!!

[@anirose6807]

This is one of the most beautiful songs my ears has ever had the pleasure of hearing, along with Patience and Sleep on the Floor.

[@tylergggggg]

I remember hearing this live at key arena. We walked in as this song was being played, I wanted to see the Lumineers whole show so hearing them singing as we walked in was rough. I remember hearing "oh angela it's a long time coming..'drum thump' home at last" It is hard to explain the feeling, but hearing this song live is amazing.

[@jeanneo888]

Spoiler about the possible story meaning of "Sleep On The Floor", "Angela" and "Cleopatra". /!\ /!\ In my opinion in "Sleep On The Floor" she cries for her late husband, who's the one who come to whisper to her ears. There is a part of her who stays at the funeral and the other part, her mind, who decide to wander to live again their story. She did got that tattoo, it was not a part of a dream. She wakes up on the carpet, were they first slept on when they got the house, but when she awakes she realizes he is gone forever and all she has left are her memories. In "Angela" she is, years later, with her new husband and about to have their baby. A part of her wants to leave, like in the good old days, but finally she decides to come back. She is going to be a mother. The Three Ladies are the same person, except that one represent the past, the second the present, and Cleopatra her future. In "Cleopatra" she has grow old, the passengers in the back seat, including her two younger self are her memories. Finally she drive back her son, but as she split it seems that she is divorced now. The has lost the love of her life and she is alone again, like at the end of "Sleep On The Floor". I don't know if "Ophelia" is connected to the story, but if it was I would probably think that it is somehow the story of her late first husband, as at the end of the video a car rushes in front of the man who is dancing on the middle of the road. I know it is not the same character, it was just a theory about the "Ophelia" part.

The largely lost art of music videos is not lost on the Lumineers, who tell a story in their lyrics, complemented by their simplistic yet powerful portrayal of words in action. Two sides of the same coin, that complement each other wonderfully. The Piano solo at the end is simply icing on the cake, a beautiful ending to an inspiring story.

[@nathanfeeley6573]

My dad used to listen to this song all the time before he passed and this brought me to tears.

*LYRICS* 💙 *ANGELA* 💙 When you left this town, with your windows down And the wilderness inside Let the exits pass, all the tar and glass 'Til the road and sky align The strangers in this town They raise you up just to cut you down Oh, Angela, it's a long time coming And your Volvo lights lit up green and white With the cities on the signs But you held your course to some distant war In the corners of your mind From the second time around The only love I ever found Oh, Angela, it's a long time coming Home at last Were you safe and warm in your coat of arms With your fingers in a fist Did you hear the notes, all those static codes In the radio abyss? Strangers in this town They raise you up just to cut you down Oh Angela it's a long time coming Oh Angela spent your whole life running away Home at last Home at last Vacancy, hotel room, lost in me, lost in you Angela, on my knee, I belong, I believe Home at last Home at last Home at last Home at last Home at last (Uuu uuu uu uu uu, uuu uuu uu uu u) (Uuu uuu uu uu uu, uuu uuu uu uu u) 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@aboyhasnoname7361]

This is Cleopatra. I think that this album tells us a story about this beautiful woman's/girl's life from back to begining; first we see Cleopatra, the older version of her, who drives her taxi and loves her son, loves him more than anything on this world. Then we see Angela, this beautiful woman, who is pregnant with her/Cleopatra's son, and shows us the time just before she left her child's father. She decided to leave him, to start her story from zero and open a new page, with her, her son and their little, yellow taxi. These are just mine thoughts, they aren't meant to offend or hurt someone.

[@aboyhasnoname7361]

And also, what I really love about The Lumineers, it's that their songs are so imaginative, so day-dreamy and filled with these beautiful stories. Thank you, guys. Thank you for making this world a better place with your music.

[@rosemarieschenk]

But she's the Taxi-Lady/Cleopatra's first customer... If you look closely this video ends where Cleopatra begins.

Just watch the videos in reverse order. Sleep on the floor, Angela, Cleopatra. It's the same person. :)

[@shannonhawkins2739]

I want to know what the magic in that room was like. Standing in that space, an intimate, closed in crowd, swaying and holding drinks and each other as this song went over them. The lights dim as the band plays the tune like, “Come closer. We’ve got a story here.” I’d have chills being there.

this song came on when I was on the way to the vet putting down my three-legged cat of 18 years. Despite the situation it was really peaceful and I listened to the Lumineers the whole car ride. Out of all the songs that played this one really hits me still and I don't know why haha. I know the song doesn't connect at all to my situation but it makes me think of happy memories of my old buddy.

I recently moved back to my hometown in Florida after living 18 years all over the world, from Japan to the UK. I even had a Volvo abroad. The lady in the video even reminds me of how I looked when I was pregnant with my son 26 years ago, down to her hair. 🥹

[@klart5647]

I'm pretty late but I think they are. Because she kinda looks like her, she has the wave tattoo and it mentions the song "when you left the city" or something like that.. Angie from the other songs didn't leave the city with him, as you can tell from the last seconds of the video... So yeah, it was be talking for the same person
