All My Little Words lyrics:
You are a splendid butterfly
It is your wings that make you beautiful
And I could make you fly away
But I could never make you stay
You said you were in love with me
Both of us know that that's impossible
And I could make you rue the day
But I could never make you stay
Not for all the tea in China
Not if I could sing like a bird
Not for all North Carolina
Not for all my little words
Not if I could write for you
The sweetest song you ever heard
It doesn't matter what I do
Not for all my little words
Now that you've made me want to die
You tell me that you're unboyfriendable
And I could make you pay and pay
But I could never make you stay
Not for all the tea in China
Not if I could sing like a bird
Not for all North Carolina
Not for all my little words
Not if I could write for you
The sweetest song you ever heard
It doesn't matter what I do
Not for all my little words
It doesn't matter what I do
Not for all my little words
Written by Stephin Raymond Merritt

The Magnetic Fields official bio:
The Magnetic Fields are pleased to announce a sixteen-date tour of select US and Canadian cities in April 2022. This tour follows their twice-rescheduled Fall 2021 tour of seven City Winery Locations around the US. These intimate concerts will feature a setlist spanning the band’s three-decade career, including material from their earliest albums in the 1990s and their iconic triple-album 69 Love Songs.
Lead singer/songwriter Stephin Merritt will be joined by longtime Magnetic Fields’ members Sam Davol, Shirley Simms, Chris Ewen, and Anthony Kaczinski.
The tour also celebrates the release of a special 20th-anniversary vinyl edition of The Magnetic Fields’ 1992 EP, “The House of Tomorrow.”
To date, Stephin Merritt has written and recorded twelve Magnetic Fields albums, including the beloved 69 Love Songs and 2017’s critically acclaimed Nonesuch box set, 50 Song Memoir, which chronicled the first fifty years of the songwriter’s life with one song per year. New York magazine called the box set “a celebration of Merritt’s sky-high range as a writer and a player … a delightful flip through the untold back pages of one of rock’s most singular voices.” Merritt has also composed original music and lyrics for several music theater pieces, including an off-Broadway stage musical of Neil Gaiman’s novel Coraline, for which he received an Obie Award. In 2014, Merritt composed songs and background music for the first musical episode of public radio’s This American Life. Stephin Merritt also releases albums under the band names the 6ths, the Gothic Archies, and Future Bible Heroes.

I can't believe this band is not more well known. Their sound is unique and the poetry of some of their songs rivals Leonard Cohen.
This is so good. Love from Brazil.
that voice
I was there! :)
I want them to come to Japan.
I want them to record another 100 albums.
absolutely fantastic. hope theyre still making stuff when im an adult : )
I hope so too! By the way, if you like this song--it's one of my favorites of theirs--you'll enjoy seeing this video I shot of them performing it 2 years later on the 69 Love Songs Tour: czcams.com/video/lTBZG5ImUfA/video.html. It's interesting to see/hear all the differences, including totally switching who sings lead and who sings harmony. Cheers!
@@TimBracken oh my gosh, thank you!! i'll absolutely check that out!! :D
Re: the description, wasn't Claudia there too? Certainly there was someone else on keys and she sang a couple.
OHH, this wasn't from April 26, 2024, when they *also* played San Francisco! Weird, okay.
Yep! Sorry for the confusion. They happened to play here exactly 2 years earlier. I did just start posting some videos from last night's 69 Love Songs show (and I did mention Claudia in the description). 😊
P.S. I just posted "All My Little Words" from 2 nights ago: czcams.com/video/lTBZG5ImUfA/video.html
