To celebrate the release of Foxlore AND Coyote Stories on vinyl, we'll be posting a series of lyric videos highlighting songs from both records!
Full Lyrics:
There’s a fire in my brain and I’m burning up
Oh my, oh my
Keep running for the sink but the well is dry
Oh my, oh my
Every word I say is kindling
But the smoke clears when you’re around
Won’t you stay with me, my darling
When my walls start burning down, down, down
This house says my name like an elegy,
Oh my, oh my
Echoing where my ghosts all used to be
Oh my, oh my
There’s still cobwebs in the corners
And the backyard’s full of bones
Won’t you stay with me, my darling
When this house don’t feel like home
When this house don’t feel like home
Ashes, ashes, dust to dust
The devil’s after both of us
Oh, lay my curses all to rest
And make a mercy out of me
This tired old machine is a’ rumbling,
Oh my, oh my
Singing songs to the secrets behind my eye
Oh my, oh my
All my aching bones are trembling
And I may yet fall apart
Won’t you stay with me, my darling
When the war starts in my heart
When the war starts in my heart
Ashes, ashes, dust to dust
The devil’s after both of us
Oh, lay my curses all to rest
And make a mercy out of me
Ashes, ashes, dust to dust
Tell me I am good enough
Oh, lay my curses all to rest
And make a mercy out of... - Hudba
crane wives rlly just go "let's just make the only song Ever" every time they put pen to paper, love that for them
Perfectly explains every crane wives song
@@CytoCosmic how so?
@@ConfusedBean777 theres only 1 song from them
@@tonykhang1984 idk, I find their Coyote Stories album pretty good
@{𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒮𝒾𝓁𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝑀𝑜𝑜𝓃} yeah, but comments like this usualy means that they only made 1 song
Including descriptions of the instruments is _crucial_ for lyrics, I'm so happy
Definitely helpful for those with hearing impairments!!!
crane wives really looking out for their disabled fans
I always hear won't you stay away from me, my darling?
Why would someone with a hearing impairment want to listen to music? I’m not trying to be rude that’s a genuine question.
@@BigAbski I am about half deaf in my left ear after an accident in middle school. Music has always been a big part of my life, and descriptions of the instruments help me enjoy the song to the fullest! /Nm
I'd like to thank the Crane Wives for inventing music

Why is every single song they make perfection?
I woke up from a night terror where something was choking the life out of me and when i woke up my girl text me she also felt bad then i found this song... kinda creepy lol
I love the two voices' melodies in "the devil's after both of us", I get to choose which one I focus on lol
I like it because it sounds like two troubled victorian lady lovers.
@@MaxKarmaCat you did not make a movie plot out of a song
Hehe! Sorta! ^^" Just going with the meaning of the song and the story my brain came up with while hearing this.
@@NPC477 yes they did
@@MaxKarmaCatholy shit I’m like 10 months late to this but my friends and I are working on a music video of this song for a highschool project and we coincidentally had the same idea!! Victorian woman x her ghost gf with an exorcist after her (well, technically their relationship is gonna be more ambiguous since my friend is more comfy with acting platonically, but romance was our initial idea lol)
2:49 Is anyone gonna talk about that growl on "won't" tho, that was fucking cool
Lol fr tho
2:48
so true!!
Hell yeah it was 0-0
IKR
i NEED more people to listen to the crane wives you guys deserve so much more hype!!!
Careful what you wish for.
@@maxschubert345 I agree with both of you
yesyes, I want them to get attention, but not to the point where the fans become toxic
@@ran6643 that’s the difficult part
@@ran6643 oh the irony
I know the musical descriptive elements are for deaf fans but I am shocked by how much they helped me (a non-musical person) appreciate bits of the song I wouldn't have noticed without them.
^^^^^
i love when things designed for disabled people help everyone as well
@@wren_. it is nice when it works out that way :]
Where are these descriptive elements? I don’t see it.
@@janterri3539 in the closed captions!
I found this song because of a last life animation and it’s honestly one of my new favorite songs
Sameeee :D
same
Same poggers
Oh nice, I personally found it through a critical role animation, it's awesome that this song inspires people to make animations right?
@@dodoschipper6635 And it's really cool to see how they use the lyrics differently as well. Imma use the "Ashes ashes, dust to dust." Line for this example:
I saw a animation (a MAP, a group project of a bunch of artist to create one single animation) of Hollow Knight. The character in question was Grimm, the "leader" of the Grimm troupe. The thing with him is that he is a mere puppet, having as much control of himself as his minions have. His master, the Nightmare heart, survives by killing the last troupe leader and feeding their energy to his child. "Burn the father, feed the child" kinda way. So it makes sense.
The other one is one I JUST imagined. It's about the Dream SMP, main character here being Wilbur. He basically created a country, tried to rig a election to gain power and failed, then becoming completely opposed to said country. The country was destroy twice, both times only "Ashes ashes" and "dust to dust" surviving.
In the Hollow Knight example the Devil would be the Raidance, the twisted god that was forgotten. The Devil in the Dream SMP example would be Schlatt (the one who gained the election), who was a ram hybrid, having two long and black horns.
Did anybody ask me this? No. But did I say it because I thought of something cool? Yeah :D
From simple ADHD hyperfixation to the theme song of one of the characters in a story I'm working on, this song is perfect for so many things, and I couldn't be more grateful for its existence, and the Crane Wives' existence in general
Same here!Perfect song for one of my books in the series I'm writing!
Same, this song is perfect for the couple from a story I'm working on
same omg, i have a playlist of crane wives songs for one of my characters haha, i based her entirely off the songs and now shes a pivotal part of the story
I found the genre I was looking for, for a certain Character!
I got hyperfixated on this song more than I care to admit
I can not express the joy this song gives me
same though
SAME , the amount of serotonin that fills me every time that jazz part starts
The Crane Wives has been my favorite band for so long now, their music has helped me through so much and they're ALWAYS reliable when you don't know what type of music you want to listen to
Agreed ^_^
🙏🙏🙏
WOAHH ASHES ASHES DUST TO DUST THE DEVILS AFTER BOTH OF US
OH, LAY MY CURSES ALL TO REST AND MAKE A MERCY OUT OF ME 🗣📣‼
saaame i cannot help but sing that part aloud
tell me why this part came up while I was reading this
@@WalkingNeonCarpet That part I can sing just fine. When it comes time to say "tell me I am good enough" I can't. The words die in my throat, and I start crying... such a beautiful song, but I can't sing it to the end
@@darthcloakedguy9726honestly real

They have the lyrics in the video but whatever makes you happy ig
This is probably if the video gets really blurry or stops working in low service places

Ahhh I’ve had tongues & teeth stuck in my head all day yesterday and today because I’ve just been getting really into the discography but I found the band through curses months ago so this is so exciting!!

I actually haven't been able to stop listening to this song ever since I found it, this is such a great one! I've been sharing it with other people and they loved it as well
Nice pfp and also reminder this song exists, you're welcome.
Same
As a trauma survivor, this song resonates with me so much. I cant help myself and that’s just the energy this song radiates
This song is such a banger oh my god
Waaaait
There's just something about the clarinet and guitar duets that's simply amazing. I gotta hear more of that. Great stuff.
I’ve honestly never heard anything like Crane Wives. It’s so nice listening to them.
Remember: we aren’t losing good music, it’s just harder to find.

I can finally now sing this properly now that I known the lyrics!
In the future you can just look up the lyrics, as they can be found on multiple webpages on the internet, that might be easier than lyric videos
@@HJ-wl1yr oh thanks!
this song makes me a little sad because i found it through a Last Life animation and the life series have a special place in my heart
I know you probably won’t see this but, I consider myself an artist, and I do synesthesia as a form of art, hearing words and song beats as paintings. I’m trying to paint to this song but I don’t really understand the meaning behind it, I love your music and listen it it a ton, it would help if you could tell me ^^
they liked your comment
The way you do art sounds really cool!
As for the song, it sounds like it's about somebody who's life is basically falling apart from some form of negative emotions "coming after them", and they're asking for somebody they love to stay with them and help them find stability.
Damn, they hearted your comment and didn't bother to comment lol, that's sad.
I know it's been ages, but I feel like the song is about some kind of mental issue like ADHD or depression. Their brain is burning up, but there's someone there to clear the smoke. But the person who's singing the song feels like they're a burden, cursing both of them with their issues. Basically a song about someone with deep issues who finally found someone that can make it all better and slowly learning to accept they may be more than a curse on everyone's existance.
Now that I think about it, physical illness would fit as well.
There are very few songs that can make you feel like you are a sadistic Victorian-era serial killer, and a desperste person with severe abandonment issues
Thank you last life SMP
Two words. Life series.
One word: AHA!
Indeed
L AHAAR st Life
As a clarinet player this song is scratching an itch I didn't know i had
Amen, I love a good clarinet solo.
there's a few transcriptions of it on musescore, go learn it and scratch the itch more
I can't comprehend how they make such good music
This is such a masterpiece- i came here from Chrisrin’s last life animation, also The Crane Wives has became the main band for 3rd life/ Last life animations and i love it so much. Also my fav band lol
LAST LIFE FANDOM, ASSEMBLE!
I saw the last life animation with this song
Hello fellow life smp fan!!
YAS
AHA!!!
I AM HEREEEE
*Her voice makes me cry, it's such a beautiful melody*
As a clarinet player, i love seeing the clarinet pop up in lyrics and absolutely love to hear the clarinet
I heard this song for the first time a few days ago, and every day since I’ve played it and looped it at LEAST five times in a row - I can never just stop at hearing it once. The music, the harmonies, this song is so enchanting and I can’t escape
It’s…you could say…
*cursed* you?
I rarely sing at all, but this song is just too good not to sing to!
I found myself
that being my phone this being my computer >=)
i relate
It's also in a key that's very comfortable to sing for a lot of people, I think, and I appreciate that.
Agreed
Same i never sing because im scared someone will hear me but this songs just too good
hellpark got me hooked on this song 😭
I LOVE THE CLARINET PART SO MUCH OH MY GOD IT’S SO AWESOME I LOVE THIS SONG AND MELODY WITH EVERY PART OF MY BEING THANK YOU FOR CREATING IT
WE NEED MORE JAZZY CLARINET IN THIS WORLD
the only source of serotonin I have left is this song-
Oh my god they came back to save my soul in early 2021 and to prepare me for the middle of 2021😩🙏
i found this song from hellpark, and i havent stopped listening to this song ever since. the song is literally so catchy.

i even forgot about this comment i made. i still listen to this song, but ive lost interest in hellpark haha
@@vamperwampers me too
i feel like everyone is randomly finding this comment now.., yall be hyped for colorquest cause im more hyped for that than i ever was for hellpark
The Crane Wives: *releses this video*
Me: Oh! Look! I found my will to live!!
For some reason I always though the lyrics were "This house says my name like an allergy" and I just rolled with it
I'd play this song to show someone who'd never heard music before what it sounds like
Why is that such a great way to express a good song omg
This song makes me so unbelievably happy. Especially the "This tired old machine is a-rumbling" part.
its the song that have introduced me to the crane wives and i couldnt be more happy seeing it in my recomendations
It’s a shame that I can’t press the like button more than once. If I could, I’d press it more than a million times. :)
i want this song to play at my wedding
No you don't. It's about wanting to still love someone while being a murderer.

@@Tekker2234 Yes it is, though I didn't watch his videos (I got this from Google images ;-;)
Never love an anchor broke my heart. I cant listen to it anymore because i instantly knew what it was about

as a clarinet player this made me happy for the entire day whenever it was that i first found this song. love it 💞💖
Господи, это прекрасно. Прошу вас, не прекращайте это чудо. Вы захватили моё сердце♡
There are very few songs that I just scream along, and this one is comfortably one of em lol
“OH ASHES TO ASHES DUST TO DUST, THE DEVILS AFTER BOTH OF US” while my door is closed because I know this is a bop pff
The rest I can sing quietly but this one has strength-
It looks like the fox is wearing a crown it's just ❤
ITS NOT?
@asternightshade I mean I think it is cause I'm not sure what else it could be
@@crimsonblack9774 you said looks and I got so confused
@@asternightshade yeah I get that
i love this song because i view it as a story of a troubled person getting into a relationship and getting more comfortable sharing their troubles and healing slowly and i can relate to that
but that’s just how i interpreted it
Are you guys still alive???
Yes 😈
Yes I’m still standing can someone tell me to sit down
I just needed to know! They sooth my sadness! 🥰😊🥰
@@Mady_cool_wolfbadasssit down
Finally!thank you!
This is the theme song for a DND campaign I'm running and none of the players understand the connection yet but they will
"Every word i say is kindling, but the smoke clears when youre around." Is actually the most poetic thing ive ever heard
Around this day a week ago marked a year since I discovered this song. I wanted to comment then, but... I had a hard time putting into words just how much this band has meant to me since then. But, on the off chance that one of the band members reads this, I want to try.
This past year was crazy with covid and personal stuff, and your music became a kind of escape. Even though many of these songs aren't necessarily happy, I found this unique comfort in them -- whenever I was having a bad day, I could put on one of your songs and close my eyes and I'd feel as if someone was singing in my ear, telling me: "I know, it sucks. But it's going to be okay." I felt understood, in a way.
And then there were times when I just needed good music to draw or dance to or be inspired by, and times when I needed beautiful lyrics to obsess over, and times when I just needed to put a great song on full volume and be lost in the music. This all sounds extremely sentimental, but honestly your music has changed my life for the better in so many ways. I'm in my teens, which is already hard and awkward and confusing enough as it is, and a global pandemic has only made my experience worse. But music is a good way to cope if I'm feeling down, and often that 'music' happens to be the Crane Wives'.
So thank you, youtube recommendations, for leading me to this song a year ago. And thank you, Crane Wives, for making me feel happier in hard times.

I love this song so much! Another fantastic tune. The saxophone was everything!
When is there a saxophone?
It's clarinet lol
I barely know woodwinds I know brass better but I don’t believe there is a saxophone, correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe it’s a clarinet
@@zomeister9191 as a clarinetist, it’s a clarinet. Which makes me really happy, since you never really hear the clarinet in the melody of modern songs very much these days :D
I'd like to thank the CZcams algorithm for introducing me to my new favorite band.
Same
I need you guys to know just how much I have listened to this song over the past few weeks. I heard the intro once. And that was it. I was totally hooked. I haven't been able to listen to anything else other than this one song for days on end. It feels like a part of me at this point.
Tbh, this gives me Good Omens vibes :' D and i love it.
YES! I’ve been thinking that a lot too.
the brainrot has us both bestie, I can’t listen to this without thinking of them and getting emotional!
I met this super cute girl, and started listening to Crane Wives to learn some of their stuff and impress her. She left for France so ig that won't work out, but now I get to enjoy this awesome band. AND the singer fits perfectly into my vocal range. Awesome.
the amount of happy chemicals this song produces in my brain is immeasurable and it has quickly become a top 3 favorite songs ever
the music pairs *perfectly* with her voice. its almost if they're the same
Found this song through random YT Music suggestions and LOVED it! I've listened to the whole album, but "Curses" is still my fav and has somewhat of a unique vibe to it. Would love to see more songs like this one, especially with the "jazzy clarinet".

Y'all got me through the first quarantined summer,
With minimal breakdowns.
Came here from that Hollow night animation, new favorite band acquired

The Crane Wives are somehow the only type of folk music Ill not only listen to, but defend with my heart and soul
"Begin with snappy snare fill" Damm straight!!!
Found this song through a last life amv by chrisrin and wish I found it sooner, I can and will be hyperfixating on this for the next week
