Father of the Bride available 5/3: smarturl.it/fatherofthebride
Harmony Hall/2021 available everywhere now: smarturl.it/HH2021
Directed By Emmett Malloy
Lyrics:
We took a vow in summertime
Now we find ourselves in late December
I believe that New Year’s Eve
Will be the perfect time
For their great surrender
But they don’t remember
Anger wants a voice
Voices wanna sing
Singers harmonize
Til they can’t hear anything
I thought that I was free
From all that questioning
But every time a problem ends
Another one begins
And the stone walls of Harmony Hall
Bear witness
Anybody with a worried mind
Could never forgive the sight
Of wicked snakes
Inside a place
You thought was dignified
I don’t wanna live like this
But I don’t wanna die
Within the halls of power lies
A nervous heart that beats
Like a Young Pretender’s
Beneath these velvet gloves I hide
The shameful, crooked hands
Of a moneylender
Cuz I still remember
Anger wants a voice
Voices wanna sing
Singers harmonize
Til they can’t hear anything
I thought that I was free
From all that questioning
But every time a problem ends
Another one begins
And the stone walls of Harmony Hall
Bear witness
Anybody with a worried mind
Could never forgive the sight
Of wicked snakes
Inside a place
You thought was dignified
I don’t wanna live like this
But I don’t wanna die
-
Written by Ezra Koenig
Produced by Ariel Rechtshaid & Ezra Koenig
Additional Production by Rostam Batmanglij

This song is like waking up early in the morning. Sun peeking above the horizon, birds chirping and during the day, you meet all kinds of people. Good, evil, content, unrested, so many different elements, and they all work together to shape what day you will have, then at the end of the day, it's time to rest. The sun is going down and it is getting dark, Time to sleep.

I have listened to music extensively my while entire life and it's my favorite album from front to back, and I honestly don't listen to a lot of their music. And it's not nostalgic I just found it cleaning the house one day, and ended up gett9ng divorced and and having the best life. Somehow this album and me fully opening my eyes to the potential of my life coincided perfectly, but aren't related still, although impossible

It’s not certain whether this song was done back when he was still an active member of the band but yes, he did say he would still collaborate with the band in the future. Either way, Rostam rules and it’s great that he’s still present in the new material, no matter when it was worked on. VW would not be what they are and wouldn’t have a signature sound without him.

I'm taking the meaning to be the opposite, it's a defiance with a clarification. "This world is wrong, but I'm not giving up or abandoning it." Especially considering the two lines before, "anyone with a worried mind can never forgive the sight of wicked snakes. Inside a place you thought was dignified." That fairly clearly makes it a a political statement imo, "your ruining the country and our life style and you have no right!"

For me, this song is about survival. I played it after one of my best friends died in 2019. I couldn't think of any other more fitting song because it perfectly encapsulated my thoughts. Part of me wanted to die without him, but part of me wanted to survive. I've discovered many snakes in my life, hiding in plain sight. It has sent me to a place of darkness but this song sheds light on that feeling. This song is cathartic. I was stunned when I first heard the lyrics. Anger does want a voice, and we battle our anger so it doesn't control us. We can't let it spiral out of control or morph into a chorus of angry voices in a mob. Problems are eternally cropping up. But in the end, after all of it, you have to choose to survive in this world. What an amazing song.

Raisa Bruner says: " "Harmony Hall" is sweet and nimble, a welcome return to form for a group that always seemed to float atop the currents of pop and rock. Ezra Koenig isn't necessarily joyous here: "I thought that I was free from all that questioning / But every time a problem ends another one begins" he laments. But his often-cryptic lyrics find balance with a tune that is buoyant with rich guitar and piano riffing that will make old-school fans happy. "
