Yeasayer- Wait For The Summer

[@RealBigStudio]

This song is striking to me for the beauty and light in the composition, and the morbid darkness in the lyrics. Yeasayer created an impressive fusion in tone and mood that few artists dare to even tackle.

[@joshuaschooping6227]

Yes, and retains a sense of magic and nostalgia in the midst of it all.

[@latesmyplace]

This whole album still bangs! This band is definitely one of my favorite spring/summer playlist options. 💖

[@joshuar.devoto928]

Listen to the whole album. It's brilliant.

[@jerrypl]

True that. Shame that next albums were so much worse.

The Talking Heads of their era.

[@mjg086]

@@jerrypl agreed. they really changed sounds after this album, which is too bad.

[@Ddubs1975]

​@@mjg086 they seemed to get further and further away from their original sound with each successive release & unfortunately not in a good way IMO. Kind of a bummer cuz I was super excited about this band initially. At least we will always have this masterpiece. Cheers!🍻

[@bleach700]

Miss their more instrumental eerie music, had some sort of tribal music feel to it and man this album moves me like no other album out there

[@Aprilpie13]

Same here, this is my favorite album by them. I got to see them live with this album & it was such a good show.

[@hollykilberger5989]

Prolly the coolest show I've ever witnessed at Walter's on Washington in Houston (or anywhere). I wasn't expecting this shit.

[@muChogust0]

That's a great song

I kissed my baby with a bullet Words I shot right into her head And I'm falling, falling, falling down Sink into the river, sink into the riverbed

LOL Never thought about it that way, but So True. 🙌🏼

[@Shtf132]

Childish Gambino's Feels Like Summer sounds almost identical to this

[@phatato]

Ok I can't find any good sources of information anywhere about what the lyrics of this song are about, can anyone help?

[@isa457]

im searching too, didnt find anything :( im almost sending a message to them hahahaha

[@monkeypants8213]

my guess is that the lyrics are from the perspective of someone who has visions and hallucinations and downward spirals into killing their loved one.

[@memaymoo8088]

Pretty sure he killed his wife by pushing her down a flight of stairs

[@unintelligible_thinker6811]

@@memaymoo8088 not what I got out of it it sounds as if he is using the fall as an alibi

[@sashamaire4354]

Killed my lady here when I was dreaming Held her neck too long, what was I thinking? What a proud old mare, won't she stop screaming? I hear voice sometimes, when I've been, when I've been drinking
