He who asks for much
Has much to give
I don’t ask for much
Just enough to live
But in the light
Morning will reveal the spoils of night
Through the walls of Jericho
Lies a heart of stone
With you half the battle
Is proving that we’re at war
I would give my life just for the privilege to ignore
Don’t call it a Lovers’ Quarrel
To whom much is given
Much is required
Luxurious liver
You never inquire
It ain't right, you see
Who is your family?
If I dont have tools to fight
Calling this a quarrel isn’t right
Quoting this a quarrel
So immorally implies
We’re equal opponents
And we both antagonize
Don’t call it a Lovers’ Quarrel
Don’t call it a Lovers’ Quarrel
We cannot be lovers
Cuz I am the other
We cannot be lovers
Long as I’m the other

This song makes me grateful I can afford good headphones. If golden sunshine became music.
Ann Kokkoris lol
Ann Kokkoris good for you
Good headphones don't mean a thing if you're listening from youtube
Try getting a flac
HD is not bad
Got the Flac and also Audio Technica R-70x headphones with a good amp. But I came here to get the link to send to my mates. Some have better headphones ... some worse. I still spread the love!
I will let Moses explain in his own words, the meaning of the song (taken from the podcast, Song Exploder):
“I was thinking about the distance between people of different social groups.
The song is about power. And it’s about two people in a relationship who are from different backgrounds and so that could either be race or class or gender. Looking back in my life at relationships that I had had with people from different backgrounds who saw us as equals and who didn’t realize that in the broader scope of the world, their perspective was appreciated on a wider scale, shared on a wider scale, and elevated, and so they were coming from to the table with a social power that they were discounting in the personal relationship. So this song essentially, “Quarrel” is about the idea that you can’t call a disagreement between two people simply a lover’s quarrel because that would imply that they are equals and you have to recognize that we’re not. No two people come from the same background.
And so the lyrics in the pre-chorus, “with you half the battle is proving we are at war. I would give my life just for the privilege to ignore.” You know, just trying to get you to realize there’s an issue here, that goes beyond you and me.
And so if you have two people in a relationship and one person comes from the group that holds the most social power in society, they have to account for that privilege, in that relationship, or recognize that it ain’t going to work out.”
ARAMI lovely comment🤗
God, this.
Thank. You.
Wow this resonates
....Thank you...Your comment resonated with my soul and vibrated with my mind on a spiritual and mental level of intellectual truth. It assisted in imparting wisdom to me concerning such delicate matters of agony,simplicity and beauty all at the same time...It's much appreciated...That's all...Shalom
Why can't we have more of this and less of not this?
exactly
Amen
Because he who asks for much has much to give
The horns at 1:34 make me melt. Such a perfect swell and well executed slide. Crazy talented musicians on this track, including the man himself, Thundercat!
Everett Jefferson the musical arrangement is DOPE!!! Did this dude really pull out a steelpan???
His voice controls music as if it depends on him.
Right... Exactly what I was thinkiiing
Beautifully put.
Who would of thought this song addressed humanity and racism. Wow. Just read the lyrics! Jesus this song is out of this world lyrically and sonically it moves neurons in a way that forces them to work in synergy. Pain, anger, hate, and love all move peacefully with this song in the brain. So calming.
most beautiful thing ive heard in ages
Ehh I'm lost for words. This song really touched me. I'm just in awe at this moment.
Well said! Present and in the moment.
I'm 36 years old. After only 12 seconds of this song, I was like "wow! I can already feel this is gonna be genius!" and it's only the second time in my life I react like this.
Discovering Björk (wich you graciously covered) was my first time and it was 25 years ago.
Please follow your own journey through the magical power of music.
You truely have a healing voice, Moses!
Greetings from Belgium.
Have you heard his acoustic cover of Bjork? ruclips.net/video/unjUuTT7uYw/видео.html
This sounds like the music from Vespertine
funny, i had the exact same journey through the Come to me cover being recommended on RUclips and i`m glad the algorithm still works out still 🙏
Bjork is the goat , finally going to watch her this year , HYPED
First I've heard of Moses Sumney. Smooth soulful vocals with a sumptuous, spacious, intricate arrangement. Beautiful, creative and nuanced. Thank you Moses.
That Stevie Wonder keyboard vibe after the 5 minute mark....delicious...
Ooh

Don't call it a Lovers' Quarrel

Lies a heart of stone
With you, half the battle
Is proving that we're at war
I would give my life just for the privilege to ignore

Sublime.
I realize that moses makes wonderful masterpiece s. I would say he can be one of the greats of our generation. BUT this man probably works normal job like everyone else, while makig music; despite the fact that his songs have been featured in some shows. And his music is talked about among many big celebritys. He needs to be known, and his message needs to be spread. He deserves alot. No ones music has me feel so intune with the universe, or make me think about my existence like this. We ARE HERE FOR THIS COME UP
He's touring internationally as a solo performer and has been backing up artists like Sufjan Stevens and David Byrne for years, I think its safe to say he's earning a living from music.
humbay
I'm surprised this guy isn't more popular
I was watching the Swan Song...and its the beginning and I just hear a beautiful falsetto and then the subtle transition to chest voice and it felt like I was floating but something was taking me away deep into something. Your VOICE is BEAUTIFUL...ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS
This song is transcendent. I was at work stressing over deadlines when I heard it. It helped to detoxify my spirit and lightened my burden.
What a gift to my ears.
This feels like a tidal wave of pleasure beaching in the darkest depths of my soul, washing me clean.
Okolo Edwin this feels like a very cringey comment
Not the place for twelvies plz
Yeah, me too! :)
You eloquently described my experience.
AMEN
the most soulful voice ... I love you Moses ... u are a treasure
I'm not so sure what to feels when I hear this song.. too beautiful.
So grateful that he is keeping the art of synchronicity alive and powerfully so. Truly moving this takes me out the frame
You had me with Ascension... but THIS!!!! OH MY GAH!! I get chills every time this plays. So Poetic and Beautiful
The second half of this song is just so perfect! wish it was longer
This song is WONDERFUL! One of the prettiest I’ve ever heard.
Beautiful peaceful 🥰 song...I will go back in time and different dimensions with this
Yeeesss i love his music incrediblely unique just amazing in every way he reminds me of bilal i love him i was a fan as so in as i heard him sing just incredible
Omg this is amazing man I love it!! ♥ your music is beautiful
the music fills my insides and lifts me to the clouds. oh yes! i am high on audial nirvana right now.
An artist's artist, without a shadow of doubt.
Praying that he makes it HUGE, and never sells his soul, nor disregards his own distinctive sound, for the big bucks...
A piece of art. I love it more than I could say.
His voice make my heart melting
Yes! So beautiful.
Love that Black Radio style coda. I have no doubt however that it's all just coming from Moses. Any similarities to other artists is probably coincidental.
Utterly breathtaking.
Divine sound. Trully unique!
Swan Song brought me here. So glad I found this.
Creo que soy el único comentario en español pero realmente esa combinación de sintetizadores, arpas, trombones y coros es simplemente mágica 🌎🍃 Moses Sumney puto genio 🔥
La escucho todos los perros días & es de esas piezas imprecindibles de mi playlist 👽
I am so ready for this album!!!
Kendall W
The album is absolutely exquisite! #Aromanticsm
You just save my life. Thanks a lot
This is beyond amazing!
this is heavenly
When you feel the music 👌🌱
This is probably one of the most sonically perfect pieces of artistry ever put together. Patricia Barber you stepped out of a dream on steroids.
Voz e interpretação adoráveis. Linda melodia e arranjo.
I love this!!!
So beautiful.
Just beautiful!!!
Anyone else get a Radiohead vibe? Like if radiohead were into soul or RnB, their music would totally sounds like this. Anyway, i really love this track
Ok, so after scrolling the comments section looks like im not the only one 😂
Sounds a lot like "nude"
So glad I'm not the only one.
In the podcast Song Exploder he talks about Radiohead being an inspiration and discussing it with the person who produced the song! I'd recommend checking it out.
Radiohead and Joanna Newsom. Funnily enough I discovered him after months of listening to those two artists almost exclusively, found him and thought wow, this guy is absolutely great. Come to find out a bit later, he says those two artists inspired him a lot when making this album.
I love his voice.
Absolutely beautiful ❤
This is too beautiful!
Just stunning
a gorgeous listen this was
I get chills...
and these lyricssss are deep! any oppressed group knows howit feels to constantly be bombarded with false equivalences, but indeed we dont both antagonize. sometimes wrong and wrong and it isnt bc we are both playing a part in the problem when all i wanna do is live.
reminds me of (i THINK) decks dark by radiohead at times, among many other things. glad to hear such seldom mingled influences. sublime
Yes. Yes God! Yes.
This sounds lovely ❤❤
His NPR performance is incredible! Watch it! Now!
The outro is splendid.
A work of art truly...
theeese viBES my goodness, Moses
For some random reason this song makes me think about how un important my tiny life is in this huge planet and how my problems don't matter at all compared to others and how i should start being less selfish and more selfless
This is such a gem!
I wonder why he isn't more famous...
You are incredible, Moses!!!
Amazing upload, Moses!!! So excited for the next proper release and tour :)
The song doesn't let you get away...Irresistible...Butter Biscuits Honey ... Physical Effects From Spirit Depths ... The Human Being Is God. #DeepGratitudeForBringItForwardYoungGod #CreaturesOfSound
Beautiful 🌊🌊🌊
Such beauty
3:04 FOREVER
First time i heard this, which was just now during a movie, was that was some Matt Corby song that i somehow missed. This is spectacular
Mesmerizing!
Tu es devenu mon chanteur préféré de tout les temps ❤️
