about

The first song I ever recorded for PDJ. This was me trying to ape Belle and Sebastian’s poetry. Listening to this song now, however, reminds me of Solveig Sandnes’ Vagabond Squaw album, what with the string arrangements. It’s all dripping with twee. The critic Luis Katigbak told me he really liked the first line a lot, “I needed sympathy / You gave me a review.”

lyrics

VOLCANOES (THE ONES NAMED AFTER YOU)

I needed sympathy
You gave me a review
I gained the power
And the need for something new
I dream of holidays
The ones named after you

Do you feel the same way too?
Do you feel the same way too?

I’ll eat the magic
And the music in your eye
Forget the logic
And we’ll never say goodbye
I dream of sunken ships
The ones named after you

Do you feel the same way too?
Do you feel the same way too?

All I’m afraid of is the lonely life
I’ve got to find myself a lovely wife
Baby, all I want is you
You really got me
Oh yes, it’s true

I have a sadness that is cold as ice
I’ve got to find myself somebody nice
Baby, all I want is you
You really got me
Oh yes, it’s true

You are my symphony
When running out of juice
You grant me powers
You’ll forever be my muse
I dream of heavy rains
The ones named after you

Do you feel the same way too?
Do you feel the same way too?

You’ll be my Guinevere
I’ll be the son of Zeus
If you’re my mirror
Then I’ll never be confused
I dream volcanoes
The ones named after you

Do you feel the same way too?
Do you feel the same way too?

All I’m afraid of is the lonely life
I’ve got to find myself a lovely wife
Baby, all I want is you
You really got me
Oh yes, it’s true

I have a sadness that is cold as ice
I’ve got to find myself somebody nice
Baby, all I want is you
You really got me
Oh yes, it’s true
