mewithoutYou - The Fox, The Crow And The Cookie (Sleepover Shows)

[Scum]

2020 and we are still jamming this! These are my favorite takes on these songs. “Put it on wax.”? Most fudging definitely.

[clairemarvelous]

I’ve got a walnut brownie brain,
And molasses in my veins,
Crushed graham cracker crust, my powdered sugar
Funnel cake cocaine
Let the crescent cookie rise,
These carob-covered almond eyes
Would rest to see my cashew princess and the
Swirling marble sky.
And we’ll rest upon the knee
Where all divisions cease to be,
And root beer float in our banana boat
Across the tapioca sea...
Where letting all attachments go
Is the only prayer we know,
May it be so,
May it be so,
May It Be So. Oh.

[Foxpaw]

Nothing will match the pure rawness of this version. Amazing.

[ChronoCade]

I think that this is the best version of the song. You can hear the gentleness in his voice, he's changed a lot since the first album.

[PhilAndEmmaParkes]

that chat before the bridge was hilarious. flipping awesome dudes. would love to see them one day

[Facehead]

I want to meet them. That's it. Just to sit and talk with such humble, talented musicians.

[zuppah]

hah, love aaron's face at 2.20; acting like the bird

[vitus]

When I have seen them live, Aaron will sometimes sing lyrics different from the recorded versions. Does anyone know if he fiddles with the lyrics regularly? Or has he changed words he didn't like to something he sings permanently? For example, does he always sing "insecure bird" now? Or will he change it up and occasionally still sing "proud bird?"

[allcreationgroans]

@HoboThatIsHigh this song actually isn't very hard to play. the verse chord progression is Bm-F#m-A-E and the chorus is A-E-D-E ...it's pretty much playing the same chords over and over again. good jam!

[pastel]

I need that Filson cap. Can't find it anywhere.

[phillin]

Mark my words, Youtube:
If i can do one thing in my life, I would see them live, and meet Aaron.
I want to see them perform bad xD

[ChuckPheltnic]

"put it on wax"... yeah I'd buy a vinyl of mwy playing outdoors like this.

[CCrockett]

Looking at the dislike it seems as if the crow must have seen this video...

[EazzzyKilz]

I would love to be able to own this session of songs on DVD....

[HatTalk]

This album weirded me out, but watching this makes me realize how awesome that album was, especially considering where they came from.

[cazz]

@JakeZawmby I agree haha. Makes me wish sometimes he put out instrumental versions of all of the music. Itd sound great

[TheNatedogg]

@zeppelinman1685 Well, the thing is you said "important", not "improved with each album". I mean, I love mewithoutYou, but there have been a lot of bands that have left a more significant mark than them.

It's not really that big of a deal, I guess I was kind of nitpicking, so nevermind...

[saaaahm]

Why doesn't this happen in the parks near my house?

[TheNatedogg]

@zeppelinman1685 Ugh, just remembered there's six guys in Radiohead, but you get my point.

[JakeZawmby]

I'm honestly not trying to be a dick, because I love the band and this song. I get the response I'll get in return is 'That's not what it's about' because he's an amazing lyricist.I just think that after years he might have put a small focus into learning how to sing. As I said, he's practically a story tell because his music is so good along side his words...but It's been years and I could read the lyrics to music if I didn't want to hear them sung. No one agree?
