“The turquoise she held looked like pieces of sky, and the garnet like teardrops from hell” really captures the album cover
Fuck yes.
I love this song and after repeated listens this is what I've gathered:
Conor is quoted in an interview basically describing this song as a story about a guy that goes to a music festival and gets lost. Now as the group of friends arrives and lines up at a predetermined stage our main character lags behind in an open lawn by himself as he anticipates (I've assumed) the LSD he's ingested upon arrival to the festival to take effect. His judgement of the appearance of the artist and stage itself may or may not be the drugs taking hold of his senses but the girl approaching him with the jewelry is certainly pushting him in a direction that he wasn't expecting on his little trip. The following verse mentions his friends finding him after an all night search with a black eye and no recollection of where he'd been or what he did and after their seemingly frantic and whiny inquiry (this is how I received it with the sped up piano in the backround) he explains his logic as a person choosing to not lump themselves in with everyone else the way they are expected to but instead embarking on his own path the way he chooses and good or bad, the outcome will be of his own choice and not what was planned by those around him.
How can, even a single person, dislike Conor?
8 years ago I wouldn’t know how, and now, I still wouldn’t know. 😂
So brilliant. The music Conor is writing is better and better each album.
So glad you didn't stop after The People's Key. Thanks Conor.
I love the backing vocals starting at 2:30
so nice to hear that voice again
I saw them in chattanooga bout two weeks ago, it was the sickest concert ive been to in a long time

Youd be hard pressed to find a better songwriter , living or dead. I bet all who criticize/ hate on conor Have NO IDEA what music is, to them i say keep listening to ur local pop station- because your ears must love the shit in circulation.
James Mercer? Cathal Coughlan?

Governor’s ball
[Verse 1]
He came with his friends in a caravan
To witness the Governor's Ball Sat by himself on a cool patch of grass
While the rest stood like bricks in a wall The stage, it looked like a vending machine
The singer, a black barbie doll
But it was well lit, and well managed
So no property would be damaged
Until his boredom took full advantage
Of it all
[Verse 2]
Talk to a girl with Klonopin eyes
Who said she had jewelry to sell
First he said "no thanks," but he realized That he wasn't feeling that well
And the turquoise she held looked like pieces of sky
And the garnet, like teardrops from hell She offered
him a necklace And he wanted
to accept it But it would end up too expensive, he could tell
Then she said, "Why not? What have you got
to lose?
To lose?
[Verse 3]
When he never came back, and the curfew had passed
His friends searched the fair grounds for clues
But security guard with the maniacal laugh
Said, "it's always the leader you lose"
And he finally turned up in the broad light of day With a black eye as big as the moon They all asked him what had happened Oh, was it real or all imagined? And why on earth had he abandon them so soon?
And he said, "Why not? I do what I've got to do, and so should you"
I'm soo stuck on this album! fuckiness lyrics!
Nobody's ever offered me a necklace but I hope I would accept it if they did.
Reminds me of Firewall :)
This song is Beatlesesque. Idk how Conor feels about them. But the beginning reminds me of mr Kite and Yellow Submerine...
"I own all rights to sound.",dan'
Chello
"Better watch your snickers bar."
:DD
What is this song about?
Id say its about how sometimes you have to do things that are unusual and risky to find your place. Kind of like the moment someone decides to embark of one of those "heroe's jourenies". But then again it's the first time I've listened to the song.
it's literally about a festival, Governors Ball Music Festival hahaha

"Maynard has no chromosomes.",dan'
"Yawn", is what this song is about. Four minutes is what this totally fake, constructed Nothing moment "is".
Booooring...
no emotional singing :(
