► LYRICS
There was a wayward lad
Stepped out one morning
The ground to be his bed
The sky his awning
Neon, neon, neon
A blue neon lamp in a midnight country field
Can't surround so you lean on, lean on
So much your heart's become fond of this
Oh, these three worn words
Oh, let me whisper like the rubbing hands
Of tourists in Verona
I just want to love you in my own language
Well, that smell of sex
Good like burning wood
The wayward lad laid clean
To two busty girls from Hornsea
Who left a note in black ink
Girls from above say "Hi" (hi)
The road erodes at five feet per year
Around England's east coastline
Was this your first time?
Love is just a button we press
Last night by the campfire
Oh, these three worn words
Oh, that we whisper like the rubbing hands
Of tourists in Verona
I just want to love you in my own language

"I just want to love you in my own language" is one of the most beautiful lines I've ever heard

[imaginewagons]

When I lost my friend in a car accident I lost interest in all of my music, a few years later now I played along to this song with my cello for the first time in 5 years. A tear fell down my eyes, I was never one for showing emotions but this touched me deeply, I truly miss him.

[mateusi]

For a long time this was my favorite song. I listened to it almost every night to sleep because it helped me go through everything i was facing. Now I have grown and I found who I think is the love of my life. I showed her this song and it's like our song now. I just so happy we get to share this beautiful masterpiece and make it our thing. Thank you Alt-J.

3WW= Three Worn Words
The 3 words= I LOVE YOU
Why worn? Because people tend to overuse it and some don't even truly mean it.

"I Just want to love you in my own language" makes his expression of his love to her/him more personal and truer and more purer.

My take:)

[ayarammal]

sobbing at the art. the indigenousness of it. I just want this video to be tattooed all across my body. and the music. the sacredness of love. wow. thank you.

[lna]

i need to find a soulmate to love as much as i love alt-j & their music

[checkthapain]

"love is just a button we pressed last night by the campfire." such a good line.

[spirittearzoi]

Years later, years of listening, and years of tears. alt-j’s songs still are different. They way the speak truth and there poetry just makes a human want to cry. Understanding what they went threw to play a song this deep is amazing and tear shedding. “ I just want to love you in my own language “

[farahmirzan]

Every Alt-J song takes me on a different journey... from Taro or Nara to the more recent ones... there are very few bands/artist who do that these days! Thank You, guys! Love you

[jamesprigioni]

I often am just drawn back to this song

[paperbackwriter]

Latinoamérica en el corazón de todos. Y la música es simplemente maravillosa, la fotografía también. Es arte puro.

[susananavarro]

Hermosa representación del amor y muerte en México. Tan sublime esa linea delgada entre la vida la muerte y el amor eterno que trasciende despues de que termina la vida! Cultura mexicana transpasando fronteras! Los adoro Alt-J

[TheJEvster]

I wish somone shared my passion for this group. Unbelieveable sounds, by far the best music around.

[BlackSnow]

4:39 - 5:27 I love this part, partially because it's different from the rest of the song, but also because it embodies the man's feelings so well. The slow, subtly skewed tune embodies the frustration, tiredness, and haze of the mind the man must be experiencing, carrying this heavy coffin under the hot sun with dogs attacking him at the end.

[crazykhespar]

Grief, love, dying to be with the person you love. The worn words overcome with actions and the more intimate expression of love.

[sriirs]

was expecting a trippy video but wow, this tugged at my heart strings. alt-j has done it again (yet I'm surprised).

[colincarr]

I just love it when you can't work out where a great song is going. But you know you are really going to enjoy the journey and none of the directions it takes are disappointing.

[martha_hood]

this is my favorite music video to this day... and i've known it since its release, several years ago (and counting!). it's been with me throughout many of my ups and all of my downs. i adore the semiotic behind every element, the symbolism of latin american cultures, and mostly the fact i always feel a different way after watching it. thank you, alt-j!

[kittyloveranddoggys]

I think the video is about grievance. So at the beginning, the whole village and family are carrying the coffin and then there's a small group of people carrying her and then ultimately its just the man and his donkey, then just the man. I think this represents how over time, less and less people are grieving for her but her assumed lover in the story continues to grieve. I think the wolves represent people telling him to get over it and move on and the donkey represents his sanity which is broken by the wolves. He continues to try and push on but the grief that he is literally carrying on his back is too much for him and it results in his suicide. I'm probably completely off but that's just what I took from it. Fuck alt j is beautiful. Like a Mexican Romeo and Juliet

[TimeBreakPictures]

One of the best music videos ever! Worthy of the song
