<p>[quote user="Deggesty"]</p> <p>[quote user="Bucyrus"]</p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva;font-size:small;">I think this band is going to be mighty popular:</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva;font-size:small;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ-kXZsUa_w&feature=related">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ-kXZsUa_w&feature=related</a></span></p> <div style="clear:both;">[/quote]After singing the "Mairzy doats and dozy doats...." one of the people singing it would translate the words (almost 70 years ago). Perhaps one of these people should translate what they sang, so people could know what they were singing about.[/quote]</div> <div style="clear:both;"> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">The song is called <i>Little Talks</i>. Here are the lyrics followed by discussion about what they mean. Lyrics do not necessarily have an objective meaning. I conclude that this song is a translation of the emotion of loss. Following the lyrics is a discussion thread of what people think the lyrics mean. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;"><a href="http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858857748/">http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858857748/</a></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">I heard the song on the radio and checked to find out what it was. I then found it and about ten other songs by the group (Of Monsters and Men). When I first saw the band, I thought they seemed quite young, and just starting out. So I wondered if the song I heard was just one lucky exception for them.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">As it turns out, I find that all of their songs are the best I have heard in a long time. The band members are young and just starting out. They are remarkably unpretentious, especially for a startup band. But they don’t need pretense or gimmicks because they have exceptional musical expertise. They come from Iceland, and in that country, formal music study and training is a standard part of education. So everyone in the band has had that formal music education.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">All of their current material is on Youtube, and the quality is very high. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Here is <i>DIRTY PAWS</i>:</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgNOO1RKdLw">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgNOO1RKdLw</a></span></p> </div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div>
