      To be fair, it’s also just a beautifully composes string part.

      @CSchaef02 Рік тому

      The slightly bigger one played at the beginning (between the cello and violin) is a viola. It’s cool to see it more in the lead, because it usually takes the backseat to a violin.

      Kelly he’s still working closely with the band on their new album, though. So that’s nice. He won’t be on every song but Ezra confirmed he worked in a decent amount of the new record.

    Interestingly, the cellist in this performance is actually the same person that played cello on the original Vampire Weekend album. His name is Hamilton Berry and he appears to be the only string player in this performance that also played on the original studio recording of this song.

      "dress yourself in bleeding madras, charm your way across the Khyber Pass" at the time it was written seems like a cutting insult, but I suppose Vampire Weekend would be happy for anyone to interpret the lyrics to mean whatever they desire.

    It's going to take a little time
    While you're waiting like a factory line
    I'll fly across the park
    Backseat on the 79
    Wasted days you've come to pass
    So go I know you would not stay
    It wasn't true, but anyway
    Pollination yellow cab
    You walk up the stairs
    See the French kids by the door
    Up one more flight
    See the Buddha on the second floor
    Coronation rickshaw grab
    So go I know you would not stay
    It wasn't true, but anyway
    Racist dreams you should not have
    No excuse to be so callous
    Dress yourself in bleeding madras
    Charm your way across the Khyber pass
    Stay awake to break the habit
    Sing in praise of Jackson Crowter
    Watch yourself along the arch of glass
