I had a boyfriend tell me he loved me for the 1st time after listening to this CD during a dark, long night traveling in my car after visiting my uncle and aunt in another state. I think he realized I was a catch when he realized I had intelligent taste. He didn't last but this album is still played constantly!
R.I.P. Carey Lander THANK YOU for those beautiful Keyboards ... "A half moon in Mexico City I think of you...". God Bless You ... Mexico will love you forever!!
It's the middle of 2020, the world's on fire, I'm tired and scared and tired of being scared and this beautiful light of a hopeful yet melancholy song gives me strength. It reminds me of the beauty humans are capable of. Thank you lovely people for this precious gift. Your impact is greater than you'll ever know.
This is one of those songs where you're having a bad day, and then you start listening to it and all of a sudden your day just got a million times better. I was feeling a bit depressed and then I listened to this song and I felt a lot better! Oh the power of music
this song guts me every damn time i listen to it, but i keep listening to it from time to time saying "THIS time i won't cry." and it's a lie. it's a devastating break up song hidden by a lovely bouncy beat.
A half full moon in Mexico City I think of you And when I saw the Southern Cross I wished you had too I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you Oh, I've been spending half the year in a plane going up and down And you've been seeing other people from a nearby town Been obsessing and getting depressed about us Excess baggage and other stupid band stuff I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you When you said the veins in my left hand were shaped like a tree Was that the very last time you really looked at me I'm in training to become as cold as ice I'm determined to protect my feelings to disguise When I said I didn't love you I told a lie Because there is no one above you though I try Would you laugh at the time I spent calling your name Over and over and over and over again I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you The trouble is I got me close to hating me And when I wake up in the morning it's your face I see Oh, you once made me feel less afraid You've got me pouring myself over this page I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before Ooh, I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you
Not lying. All these kinds of indie pop bands seem to be VERY popular in Mexico City. I'm jealous and I'm considering a move. Gonna see all the good bands in Mexico City
There's something to say about a pop song that comes in and goes out in 3 minutes, doesn't overstay its welcome, and it's perfect... This 5'41" song could go another 3 minutes and it would still be great
This is the band that saved music in this new millenium for me. So bittersweet knowing the loss of Carey. Please don't give up, you are propping up the optimism of old foggies like me.
I like this song...when I was at forever21 this song was playing in the sound system. I shazam'd it with my iPhone to find out who this was....I like'd it so much I purchased it that minute on my iPhone. The things we can do now that we couldn't do b4...so crazy!
Most of the video comes from the fabulous Barrowlands gig from 26 April 2009 and features the wonderful Cairn String Quartet. A gem of a song and should, by rights, be huge!
What a great mix - i thought I was the only person who would like a blend of Camera Obscura, JMJ Vangelis etc, wish there was a bit of Gregorian chant and it would be perfect for my somewhat weird, eclectic tastes
this song, i was loving this album & this band even more & more & then this, i can't stand it, it's too beautiful & brilliant but it's warming me up so i'll play it again & again & let it wash over & through & i'll say something like i never want to be cold again, you'll be the honey & the cake, my best day & my wildest escape, glasgow coat check, pints at the bar, the barrows was calling, calling us home, don't stray away, don't drift too far, can't stop to eat, can't sleep right, my blood is stupid & thin, the draft holds the floor & won't give up, won't let go, too damn slow & cold, the foot's off the cooling pad, light this candle, fire & glow, don't be mad, get even honey blonde violin strings you know what it means, it means everything & it takes the sun & the songs & all these things to raise the aorta or a ventricle one single degree, a garden's too close, comfort me in the morning, i'll say i don't have to leave, all those regrets haven't left, let's make new memories, could your face really be that soft, can anyone ever be that happy, stop the world now, we've seen enough, grind on you shite bastards, we're done & off 💘📸🍯🌞🦢🎶🎤🎸🎸🎸🥁🎹📯🎻💗🔥⚡💥✨🙌
Paul weller had his reflection song to his mate Dave Waller “a man of great promise” TAC I feel has out written the GM as her one word twist on either verse and the simple request at the very end to be returned by song is brilliant
In the midst of all this beauty, there this brutal observation, "When you said the veins in my left hand were shaped like a tree Was that the very last time you really looked at me?"
listening to camera obscura feels like falling in love.
i think thats why i've listen to them for the past 6 hours.
Every word she sings is a little kiss.
@@theswordthatcutsnothing2289 🙂
Hurts like a motherfucker
SOOoOo TRuEE
same here!, 13 years after your message... :D
I had a boyfriend tell me he loved me for the 1st time after listening to this CD during a dark, long night traveling in my car after visiting my uncle and aunt in another state. I think he realized I was a catch when he realized I had intelligent taste. He didn't last but this album is still played constantly!
He only liked you bcuz Camera Obscura! He wasn't wrong. Oh, well.
i was listening to this album when i had first of many kisses with a girl who moved away
Sorry it didn't last. At least your excellent musical discernment survives
Lemme guess you broke up with him.

R.I.P. Carey Lander THANK YOU for those beautiful Keyboards ... "A half moon in Mexico City I think of you...". God Bless You ... Mexico will love you forever!!
Gustavo Cano eres de

Me alegra saber de mas mexicanos que les guste la musica de Camera Obscura
@@jorgerobles5117 En Junio 2024 Mexico fue de las ciudades que tuvo SOLD OUT y que tuvo 3 fechas para Camera Obscura

Usually. It can take me the other way sometimes tho, too.
They got the track list on this album absolutely right. Other Townes and Cities fades out on a sad whimper and then BAM! Honey in th Sun!
it's great to know that the band got inspiration in Mexico City to create this song, the perfect pop song!!!
Ahbbbbuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrdddddeeeeeeeeeeee
"Viva Mexico!" Australia Loves Camera Obscura too!
A half full moon in Mexico City I think of you
And when I saw the Southern Cross I wished you had too
I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew
But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you
Oh, I've been spending half the year in a plane going up and down
And you've been seeing other people from a nearby town
Been obsessing and getting depressed about us
Excess baggage and other stupid band stuff
I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before
I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew
But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you
When you said the veins in my left hand were shaped like a tree
Was that the very last time you really looked at me
I'm in training to become as cold as ice
I'm determined to protect my feelings to disguise
When I said I didn't love you I told a lie
Because there is no one above you though I try
Would you laugh at the time I spent calling your name
Over and over and over and over again
I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before
I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before
I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew
But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you
The trouble is I got me close to hating me
And when I wake up in the morning it's your face I see
Oh, you once made me feel less afraid
You've got me pouring myself over this page
I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before
Ooh, I wish my heart was cold but it's warmer than before
I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew
But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you
I wish my heart was as cold as the morning dew
But it's as warm as saxophones and honey in the sun for you
Listening to her is like therapy.
MÉXICO loves Camera obscura
like the both of you.
Sandra Mendoza
¿Los viste cuando tocaron en la Ciudad de México? yo vivo por los angeles Iba a volar para verlos.
no ☻

This song is both as sweet as honey and as bright as the Sun.
Gotta love this band.
There's something to say about a pop song that comes in and goes out in 3 minutes, doesn't overstay its welcome, and it's perfect...
This 5'41" song could go another 3 minutes and it would still be great
This is magnificent, it's warm and majestic and joyous and intimate and heartbreaking all at the same time. The best thing I've heard for a long time.
I wanted to write a comment like this but I see you've done it already. Thank you, and very good health to you sir!
This is the band that saved music in this new millenium for me. So bittersweet knowing the loss of Carey. Please don't give up, you are propping up the optimism of old foggies like me.
Indeed , fair play tae thum for saving music ay
This song might be the perfect pop song ever. Seriously, this is just beautiful!
Mexico City loves you Carey R.I.P :(
There's a reason this band doesn't have the world worshipping at their feet - I'm just not sure what it is yet.
I like this song...when I was at forever21 this song was playing in the sound system. I shazam'd it with my iPhone to find out who this was....I like'd it so much I purchased it that minute on my iPhone. The things we can do now that we couldn't do b4...so crazy!
"And when said I didn't love you I told lies." My favorite line in this song. Such beautiful lyrics and beautiful voice.
OMG...Carey...rest in peace, Mexico loves you indeed, so melancholic right now.
I want to dance while sweeping my floor whenever i hear this song. Love from Indonesia
This bonny Glaswegian lassie conquers hearts wherever she travels, mine too! The band deserves high praise for their rich, powerful sound.
Traceyanne is a doll. I adore her!
With deep sadness. RIP Carey.
Most of the video comes from the fabulous Barrowlands gig from 26 April 2009 and features the wonderful Cairn String Quartet. A gem of a song and should, by rights, be huge!
It gives me “500 days without summer” vibes, nostalgic and bittersweet
how can such an upbeat tune disguise such a sad break-up?
just magic!
discovered this band by accident and i just love them.
Just heard this heartbreaking news, RIP Carey... will remember you through this song...
There are certain bands that I truly love...Pixies, Nirvana, The Stone Roses etc...but I can't put into words how much I love Camera Obscura.
The more I listen to this band, the more incredible their music is. They know how to write songs, harmonies are great and I love listening to them.
This song is great when your under a full moon sitting in front of the ocean! Did it once and got chills...Amazing song!
This is one of those rare instances when I click on a band cause their name is cool and fall in love
RIP Carey. Thanks for everything.
The lyrics are heart breaking... great song!
Hello

This album is perfect, i ve listened to it 1000s of times, a masterpiece.
I heard this on the radio and got hooked...I love the bit about saxophones.
This song makes me so happy. Brings optimism for the future and future loves :') And of course, a smile.
Do you still have optimism for the future?
This one of my all time favourite songs and it's always made better by watching Carey play her keys!
The stand out track from another superb Camera album - Tracyanne is immense.
This song makes me feel ecstatic and weepy at the same time. Both happy and on the verge of tears. Never heard anything quite like it.
I know, Right ❤ Exactly how I feel as well!! A weeping honey in the sun!!
perfecto, me encanta, los veo en dos días en la ciudad de mexico!!!!!!!
A half full moon in México city I think of you.
A huevo!!
Every single one of Carey's songs speaks to me, deeply.
Completely underrated, and I am fond of the 70's feeling, too. :)
she is so beautifull
I can't describe the feeling this gives me. Its been 14 years wow.
Love her voice and the band remarkable
Hi there
Getting me through lockdown 2021

naa belle and seb and camera obs are loved and revered in equal doses of love and pride in this wonderfull city
this song, i was loving this album & this band even more & more & then this, i can't stand it, it's too beautiful & brilliant but it's warming me up so i'll play it again & again & let it wash over & through & i'll say something like

honey blonde violin strings you know what it means, it means everything & it takes the sun & the songs & all these things to raise the aorta or a ventricle one single degree, a garden's too close, comfort me in the morning, i'll say i don't have to leave, all those regrets haven't left, let's make new memories, could your face really be that soft, can anyone ever be that happy, stop the world now, we've seen enough, grind on you shite bastards, we're done & off

Excellent. Gives me hope for the music industry. Put my money where my words are and bought some of their great product on iTunes.
I LOVE IT !!
AN AMAZING SONG!!!
Paul weller had his reflection song to his mate Dave Waller “a man of great promise” TAC I feel has out written the GM as her one word twist on either verse and the simple request at the very end to be returned by song is brilliant
In the midst of all this beauty, there this brutal observation,
"When you said the veins in my left hand were shaped like a tree
Was that the very last time you really looked at me?"
Im from Mexico City and I loveeeeeeee this band 😍😍😍 and this is my fave song ever
awww i love her!!!
words can not express how much I heart this band and I just heard there stuff a few weeks ago.
