    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

    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.”

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.
