When you listen to a Andrew Bird song be prepared to learn something new....📚 Marie Curie, a Polish 🇵🇱 immigrant to France 🗼, is credited for inventing the portable X-ray ☢ during WWI. She was also awarded two Nobel Prizes 🥉 and was the first woman professor at the University of Paris 👩‍🎓. Sadly she died a horribly painful death at the age of 66 due to prolonged radiation exposure 😥. Marie Curie's contribution to modern medicine 🏥 is a tribute to her brilliance.

[Verse 1] See her light, how it reigns So hard on your high plains So you take such pains That she won't notice you And your x-rays Of your Paleo male All gaze How they rest, and play Slowly corrupting you I wonder what the chance is you wanted to A thousand vacant stares won't make it true Make it true [Pre-Chorus] You need a witness just to know you're there From the tips of your fingers, every strand of hair You know someone's watching you watching me watching you And all that we look upon You may not know me but you feel my stare [Chorus] And if she sees you, it changes you Rearranges your molecules And if you see her, it changes her She's a danger now, after school And if she sees you, it changes you Rearranges your molecules And if you see her, it changes her She'll be seeing you after school Here's where gentlemen avert their eyes Maybe she's a gentleman in disguise In disguise [Bridge] You need a witness just to know you're there From the tips of your fingers, every strand of hair You know someone's watching you Watching me watching you and all that we look upon You may not know me but you feel my Stare [Chorus] And if I see you, how it changes me And if you see me, how it changes you Changes you And if I see you, how it changes me And if you see me, how it changes you Changes you

@gossamersound 5 жыл бұрын

Seen a couple folks wonder what the song is about. So here is my interpretation, not that it is worth anything... The song is about the end , or the desire, to be single. It is transformative of the male paleo self (cave man ooga booga me like girl) to something greater (potential love) and it's very beginning. But the object of lust turns to affection if that person returns "the stare". When that happens, it changes the narrator and his subject to their deepest levels (their molecules). When that happens, the wandering, nomadic, or in this case Roma (formerly known as gypsy), begins to "fade" away and considers a life of permanence with a life partner. The open whistling represents much of Bird's music, his status quo of Hungarian and Roma influenced music in a distant, hazy sepia tinged existence, until it pops into clarity when we can suspect he sees her. The end of the song represents the "falling" in love and the terror with wailing and fuzzy distortion as the narrator grapples with what he might become: emotionally fixed on her single point of light as a moth watching a flame approach it. This song is the second track of this concept album about marriage and family. It immediately follows "Capsized" which is a prologue to single life itself and the the songs after Roma Fade, being the result after it.

He loves his cultural references, and I love the creativity his songwriting inspires. He's talked about it though In his Great Room with Chris Thile, recalling it as the first times seeing his wife.

@ZeeboidThrok 4 жыл бұрын

Interesting interpretation. I just thought it was about social structure. If you see me, how do I see myself while you're seeing me, and since I see you seeing me, you are part of my development, and if we see each other, we change everything in nuance.

@yezy1043 4 жыл бұрын

Andrew talked about this song in an interview once; to him, it was about meeting his wife for the first time and describing the feeling of watching her from across the hall but being too nervous to introduce himself. It's a "love at first sight" song thematically arranged around a science experiment

@pablopipipopo 3 жыл бұрын

alternative: story told by a lover who was left by his love. a story of ultimate and fatal loss. he realizes that he was never really seen by her. but still he loves her, and wishes he could by staring at her, change her molecules, like she had changed his molecules forever....

@@infirite72 I don't think Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle applies here. That's just about the limitations of accurate measurement. Now, the Many-Worlds Interpretation does say that the observer gets changed when they observe, but that just seems too esoteric to be what Andrew Bird intended.
