The "if I made my bed / did I make the demons in it" makes me think about a victim of abuse wondering whether they are to blame for getting together with their abuser in the first place
I've always felt they're quite vulpine, some of the yips sound eerily similar to the foxes in my backyard and the growls aren't quite low pitched enough for an angry dog. Which is kind of funny considering there are wolves and foxes on two of their album covers but their band is named after a kind of Japanese crane spirit.
someone said this was about anxiety, but when i listen to it I cant help but think of a child who attracted the attention of cryptids and/or fae and is now becoming increasingly paranoid because of the figures looming in the yard or the knocking at the door with a voice begging to be let in
Thank god for curses popping up in my reccomended list that it let me discover this band! I love this song a bit too much, its creepy, beautiful and a total bop. God id love to make an animatic for this.
I'm in the exact same boat. Curses is my favorite out of all of their songs. I am actually starting to work on my art, which is terrible, because I REALLY want to animate it.
Lyrics: Late at night When the stars don't look quite right In the darkness Slowly crawling over my skin Whispers at the door "Let us in, let us in." I'm a fool I've been howling at a hollow moon There's something burning in the Empty room inside of my head Fill it up with doubt Let it in, let it spread I won't be sleeping There's too many monsters in the backyard And I feel them creeping Closer, closer, closer I'm afraid Is this a bunker or a shallow grave? Either way I'm left Holding onto the shovel and rope Digging in the dirt Finding bones, finding ghosts I won't be sleeping There's too many monsters in the backyard And I feel them creeping Closer, closer, closer But if I made my bed Did I make the demons in it? Set 'em free from my head Did I make the demons in it? Oooh, ooh Oooh, ooh-oh-oh But if I made my bed Did I make the demons in it? Set 'em free from my head Did I make the demons in it? And if I made my bed Did I make the demons in it? Set 'em free from my head Did I make the demons in it? In it? In it? In it?
In context with the song however, it screams more of self isolation. You keep to yourself in your room, because the outside world feels unsafe (whether it be social interactions or general paranoia), but through doing so, you are slowly rotting away, while not really experiencing anything worth while. It is your bunker, but also a grave (i am not saying this because i think you don't understand the lyric or something, i just also really liked the lyric and wanted to share my own interpretations)
This song would be incredible regardless, but the moments of character and emotion y'all add to the vocals just elevate them to the next level. It also makes singing along fun as hell, lol
"But if I made my bed Did I make the demons in it? Set 'em free from my head Did I make the demons in it?" This whole bit scratches an itch in my head and I love it so much. Just the way she sang it and how rough it sounds, I love it so much I could listen to just this part for hours
Emily is also an astonishing artist. Check her Instagram: instagram.com/ermsauce/ Or just go watch the video for Ribs. ua-cam.com/video/4uoaqvA-y6M/v-deo.html
Saw you guys in Madison Wisconsin! I was the guy who got your autographs on Coyote Stories and Foxlore, this song absolutely blew my mind! You guys should tour out to chicago some time!
this song takes my hand and we go running around a beaten up farmland and dance in the barn house and ignore the skeletons collecting dust in the corners as moonlight shines through the broken ceiling and we know that this is our last night together
Aah, the visual style captured here, the eeriness, and the honest look into how it feels to struggle with one's own mind are absolutely haunting! Spectacular.
My dream is to see this wonderful band live someday. I fell in love with High Horse and then systematically gobbled the entire discography. These gals and guys are AWESOME
most crane wives fans: boomers and middle age people talking about how people don’t make music like this anymore and they’re glad they can go back to their youth w music like this me, a teenage girl: hello, fellow adults
Honestly, I think this type of music would be well liked among even the younger generations, only issue is that the only way we find this is just when the random yt or spotify recommendations work.
I guess that song will be living rent-free in my head for a ~year, like curses were, oh well! First song i heard from you was curses, and I got hooked instantly. You have an unexplainable POWERFUL energy emerging, that vibe IS truly something I wonder how would your songs feel in live concerts, hope you will visit Russia someday ❤
This band has been the only band I've been consistently attached to ever since I had my first phone despite my bipolar tastes in music, once stayed up for 2 hours debating the difference between how me and my partner interoperate the song "The Garden"
I don’t know about y’all, but the part about “if I made my bed, did I make the demons in it” makes me think of someone who thinks that since they made their “bed” or life the way it is, it might be that they created their “demons” or anxious thoughts and fears
sometimes i will sit down for hours and od homework or a drawing while listening to only The Crane Wives. every song continues to amaze me!! hope to become a patron soon! i have been so happy to say i have a favorite band
to me this song kinda represents my psychosis; when i first heard it, thats what it reminded me of. the "monsters" and fears the song depicts just hits home. thats just me though ^_^
ahhh im trying to learn this song on the bass but the 'but if i made my bed' part is so hard by ear lol its my favorite song tho so i will keep trying lol!!
My personal interpretation of this is mostly a projection from having psychosis and BPD, as i can see this as paranoid + intrusive thoughts, hallucinations, and just negative BPD symptoms and thoughts honestly, but thats just me and how i view this song 💜
I've seen a lot of people tell their interpretation of the song so why not :DD i just see a person who's bothered that suddendly, their dead loved ones suddenly rose from the dead and act as if nothing had happened, as if they didnt die at all and all stories came to progress. This person clearly doesnt know what to do about their dead loved ones or even what to feel that they cant sleep at all,, soon they just realize that all they need to do is to let go so the monster they created would disappear too
only just found this one of theirs. I love the way she almost yaps like a dog in the end. had some bad news and this song was great catharsis to let out the emotions.
I know this song is meant to be about anxious thoughts but I can't help but imagining a literal hollow moon made of brass and slate filling the sky.
I don’t know about you but that would make me pretty anxious
The "if I made my bed / did I make the demons in it" makes me think about a victim of abuse wondering whether they are to blame for getting together with their abuser in the first place

Oops haha
Maybe anxiety possessed my phone... or it was just the rain :p
This band is criminally underrated, almost every single song of theirs is a banger!
Diego!
GOOD TAKE IDENTIFIED
DISPENSING BASED TOKEN
[You posted an opinion which I find agreeable!]
this songs vocals are so canine in nature... from it's high howls to sharp barks.... I must commend the singer on incredible work.
So many of their songs are like that and it’s like mesmerizing almost for me

@@travelinghome9704 The "wolves" on one of their album covers are actually coyotes!
I didn't know that! Thanks!@@mothbrainedindividual

I LOVE THIS CONCEPT SO MUCH
OHOHO YESSSS
I love your drummer's facial expression during these kinds of videos. He looks just so damn happy to be there!
🥰 he's a happy boy whenever we all get to play music together
@@thecranewivesHonestly you all always look so happy whenever I see the videos of you all playing music together!
I LOVE DAN I LOVE DAN I LOVE DAN

you SHOULD animate it! That'd be soooo cool!!!!!!
Oh god me too! A critical role fan video used this song and this is my favorite band now
Same!

Lyrics:
Late at night
When the stars don't look quite right
In the darkness
Slowly crawling over my skin
Whispers at the door
"Let us in, let us in."
I'm a fool
I've been howling at a hollow moon
There's something burning in the
Empty room inside of my head
Fill it up with doubt
Let it in, let it spread
I won't be sleeping
There's too many monsters in the backyard
And I feel them creeping
Closer, closer, closer
I'm afraid
Is this a bunker or a shallow grave?
Either way I'm left
Holding onto the shovel and rope
Digging in the dirt
Finding bones, finding ghosts
I won't be sleeping
There's too many monsters in the backyard
And I feel them creeping
Closer, closer, closer
But if I made my bed
Did I make the demons in it?
Set 'em free from my head
Did I make the demons in it?
Oooh, ooh
Oooh, ooh-oh-oh
But if I made my bed
Did I make the demons in it?
Set 'em free from my head
Did I make the demons in it?
And if I made my bed
Did I make the demons in it?
Set 'em free from my head
Did I make the demons in it?
In it?
In it?
In it?
This is going to be iconic for the future cool kids
It is now technically the future, and I am cool.
In that awkward debatable kidness area, though.
Yessss
@@UsenameTakenWasTaken Anyone who listens to the Crane Wives is automatically a cool kid, no matter their age
I don't know why but i love the line "is this a bunker or a shallow grave"
Upon hearing that Line my first thought was trenches, something meant to be protective but really just a mass grave
In context with the song however, it screams more of self isolation. You keep to yourself in your room, because the outside world feels unsafe (whether it be social interactions or general paranoia), but through doing so, you are slowly rotting away, while not really experiencing anything worth while. It is your bunker, but also a grave (i am not saying this because i think you don't understand the lyric or something, i just also really liked the lyric and wanted to share my own interpretations)
(I am also not trying to say my Interpretation is the only correct one, or that there even is a correct one, just sharing my thoughts)
@@sofusgamer1708 don't worry, it doesn't read that way
@@sofusgamer1708 As someone with severe social anxiety, this is how I interpreted it too
Who needs Halloween 2020 when you can just sit down and listen to this song tbh
This song would be incredible regardless, but the moments of character and emotion y'all add to the vocals just elevate them to the next level.
It also makes singing along fun as hell, lol
WOAH WHEN THE LIGHTING CHANGED I WAS LIKE HOLD UP- HUH 😳
"But if I made my bed
Did I make the demons in it?
Set 'em free from my head
Did I make the demons in it?"
This whole bit scratches an itch in my head and I love it so much. Just the way she sang it and how rough it sounds, I love it so much I could listen to just this part for hours
your high pitched 'yelp' noise is so fantastic please dont ever lose this quirk~~~~~~~~
I had no idea the lead singer was Asian but that just makes me love them more as a half-Asian myself. Kill it ppl ahhh such good music
Emily is also an astonishing artist. Check her Instagram: instagram.com/ermsauce/

Omg same
I know I'm a little late, but is Emily or Kate Asian? I'm blind, so can't tell from videos lol.
@@RL-pp4tjEmilee is :)
@@RL-pp4tj Emilee ♡
I love every song I've heard from this band. They're live show was one of the best shows I've been too.
Saw you guys in Madison Wisconsin! I was the guy who got your autographs on Coyote Stories and Foxlore, this song absolutely blew my mind! You guys should tour out to chicago some time!
no fair, haha
this song takes my hand and we go running around a beaten up farmland and dance in the barn house and ignore the skeletons collecting dust in the corners as moonlight shines through the broken ceiling and we know that this is our last night together
damn dude
Absolutely love this band
They don't have a single song that I even thought of skipping
That drummer always looks so freaking happy I love it
Aah, the visual style captured here, the eeriness, and the honest look into how it feels to struggle with one's own mind are absolutely haunting! Spectacular.
My dream is to see this wonderful band live someday. I fell in love with High Horse and then systematically gobbled the entire discography. These gals and guys are AWESOME
My favourite song right now, THE CHORUS IS JUST AGHH its so CATCHY!!
I love you guys, your singing is so unique and has the best vibe!!!
Had me in the first second (that bass man). Absolutely fantastic.
most crane wives fans: boomers and middle age people talking about how people don’t make music like this anymore and they’re glad they can go back to their youth w music like this
me, a teenage girl: hello, fellow adults
oh man do i absolutely feel this LMAO
Hahaha yeah!
Honestly, I think this type of music would be well liked among even the younger generations, only issue is that the only way we find this is just when the random yt or spotify recommendations work.
Don't forget all the LGBTQ folks! There's a lot of them hanging out too
@@Hyperion_HK we just vibe
I guess that song will be living rent-free in my head for a ~year, like curses were, oh well!

I wonder how would your songs feel in live concerts, hope you will visit Russia someday ❤
She looks happy to be singing that, no they all look happy actually- i think thats nice that they enjoy doing this :)
This song has inspired my writing more than I can ever express. It's such a good song with heavy lyrics and a calm tune
This song deserves so much more views! It's just so perfect, aaaaaaaaaaah I can't handle it
this band is so underrated oh my god
This band has been the only band I've been consistently attached to ever since I had my first phone despite my bipolar tastes in music, once stayed up for 2 hours debating the difference between how me and my partner interoperate the song "The Garden"
I LOVE the way your voice gets high pitched and almost snarly(?) at times. Like near the end when you go "but if I made *MY* bed". I adore it.
i cant stop thinking about this song, listned on loop all week
Randomly stumbled across your channel and now I'm OBSESSED. Please play a concert in NYC
AUGHHGG I ALWAYS COME BACK! I love this song so much! ❣️
Two thumbs apparating in the swirling mists
I just fall deeper in love with you guys. Please come to the west coast 😭
That last set of lyrics, damn. I'm loving these last few songs!
You all do NOT disappoint! Awesome song with a great video!
the desperation in the 'set me free from my head' at the end is rrragghhgrgh its so beautiful
i love the crane wives
Night birds & companions to owls, who sleep by day and only come out at night.
My current favorite band!!!!
There is something so ethereal about this song that strikes all the right cords with me
me: *tries to go to sleep in minecraft*
the bed: 0:59
I THOUGHT THE SAME HAHAHA
Love the visual effects!
KILLING. IT!!
Great song guys!!
her voice is so surreal 🥺💗
I don’t know about y’all, but the part about “if I made my bed, did I make the demons in it” makes me think of someone who thinks that since they made their “bed” or life the way it is, it might be that they created their “demons” or anxious thoughts and fears
man, im happy i found them a year back; all their songs are amazing sparking my mind!
I love the lead singer your honour (plat)
your music is art for my ears
genuinely can’t get this banger out of my head
“Is this a bunker or a shallow grave?” slaps so hard
I Love This Crane Wives!! The video is the Bomb!! Love the black light FUN and the awesome song!!
Impressive as always. Both the music and the video
sometimes i will sit down for hours and od homework or a drawing while listening to only The Crane Wives. every song continues to amaze me!! hope to become a patron soon! i have been so happy to say i have a favorite band
It's a crime that I haven't watched the music video until now, those blacklight scenes were INCREDIBLE, y'all are so creative
to me this song kinda represents my psychosis; when i first heard it, thats what it reminded me of. the "monsters" and fears the song depicts just hits home. thats just me though ^_^
So cool!
oh shit that thing you do with the snare is super cool i gotta learn how to do that.
This song is amazing!
cant wait to see these guys this weekend!
Within 2 weeks of knowing this band I bought like 3/4th of their songs already. I wanna say make less amazing music, but-
This so cool ❤
Fuck yeah! I’ve been wanting to hear more of the great music your band creates.
You've got a new fan.
Lol I heard someone say this is winter from the lunar Chronicles and omg yes
Im in love
Dan's literally vibing with every song they make
This band is too damn good
Love It beyond words!!!
i love this
ahhh im trying to learn this song on the bass but the 'but if i made my bed' part is so hard by ear lol
its my favorite song tho so i will keep trying lol!!
Got any tabs to share? 👀
love this song, every each one of your songs is so emotional
I love the whole video
I just wish that they painted the Squirrel with the glow in the dark paint too
My personal interpretation of this is mostly a projection from having psychosis and BPD, as i can see this as paranoid + intrusive thoughts, hallucinations, and just negative BPD symptoms and thoughts honestly, but thats just me and how i view this song 💜
Please come to Belgium!
a billion thumbs up
amazing work!
i keep listening to this song in repeat
i love that bass line so much
I just have one question, are you guys werewolves? Ya sing about wolves and moons a lot and frankly I’m into it
That was kickass!
Simply amazing.
I've seen a lot of people tell their interpretation of the song so why not :DD
i just see a person who's bothered that suddendly, their dead loved ones suddenly rose from the dead and act as if nothing had happened, as if they didnt die at all and all stories came to progress.

So underrated
only just found this one of theirs. I love the way she almost yaps like a dog in the end. had some bad news and this song was great catharsis to let out the emotions.
Damn that is a good song!

"there's something burning in the empty room inside of my head / fill it up with doubt, let it in, let it spread"!!!!!!! !!! !!!
