    Daddy please hear this song that I sing
    In your heart there's a spark that just screams
    For a lover to bring a child to your chest that could lay as you sleep
    And love all you have left like your boy used to be
    Long ago wrapped in sheets warm and wet
    Blister please with those wings in your spine
    Love to be with a brother of mine
    How he'd love to find your tongue in his teeth
    In a struggle to find secret songs that you keep wrapped in boxes so tight
    Sounding only at night as you sleep
    And in my dreams you're alive and you're crying,
    As your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet,
    Rings of flowers 'round your eyes
    And Ill love you for the rest of your life when you're ready
    Brother see we are one in the same
    And you left with your head filled with flames
    And you watched as your brains fell out through your teeth
    Push the pieces in place
    Make your smile sweet to see
    Don't you take this away
    I'm still wanting my face on your cheek
    And when we break we'll wait for our miracle
    God is a place where some holy spectacle lies
    When we break we'll wait for our miracle
    God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life
    Two headed boy she is all you could need
    She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires
    And retire to sheets safe and clean
    But don't hate her when she gets up to leave

As a teenager (around 2004-2006 when I was 14 to 16) driving in cars with my friends we always played the in the aeroplane over the sea album. Thanks Phoebe for appreciating such great songwriting. And for giving it a chance to reach new people. I can think of at least 8 people I introduced to NMH WHO constantly thank me for it lol.

  • @eleanorelmore
    @eleanorelmore 3 года назад +33

    I like how the tone is changed from the bitter melancholia that Mangum’s wailing plea brings on the original track. This version is still sad (it is Phoebe Bridgers) but it’s a more sweet melancholia with the slow electric guitar and Phoebes more smooth vocal delivery again compared to Mangums performance.

      Travis Carver I honestly don’t know what to say except your thoughts and beliefs have been horribly perverted. Small amount of research on the men in the discussion shows that they have one thing in common, denial of the holocaust and denial of the atrocities caused by the nazis. The video is also published on a channel strictly based on white supremacy, anti-semitism and holocaust denial. I think those facts alone should tell you how biased the video is.

    The Neutral Milk Hotel/Jeff Mangum version taps into our masculine gruffness version, while Phoebe's version taps into our feminine aspect. Either way, they are both wonderful and helpful to the human psyche, because the lyrics are so deeply meaningful in the way they can be interpreted.
