Vampire Weekend - Hannah Hunt
In a recent interview, Ezra Koenig has said that while he worked on ‘Hannah Hunt’ for about 7 years, he finds that it could not have worked as a track on either of the first two albums. This, if anything, should be some indication of the tone and direction of the New York quartet’s third outing Modern Vampires of the City. The track itself is a mastery of minimalism by Vampire Weekend’s standards. It’s not as ornate with an abundance of influences, but perhaps takes the group’s sound into a place Weekend haven’t necessarily ventured into before. The more restrained bass, percussion, and piano leave room for an instrument that is sometimes too often overlooked: Koenig’s voice. His soft crooning ties all the subtle details of the track together. The lyrics are rich with details and imagery from talk of “crawling vines and weeping willows” to “freezing beaches” that also translate to the beautiful sonic textures that unfold as the track progresses.
The key line that Koenig repeats is one that goes “Though we live on the US dollar / you and me, we got our own sense of time.” It represents the essence of the track, which is ultimately about a relationship that once was. It perfectly captures that feeling you get when you’re with that one person, that significant other. Things feel right in a way that only the two of you understand, and it’s apart from everything and everyone else in the world. But as the song reaches the marvelous piano breakdown and as the vocals intensify, it becomes clear that sometimes things just don’t work out despite your best efforts. In this way, Vampire Weekend have indeed matured and grown up. Not only have they mastered a slower, more minimal arrangement with a wonderful build-up, but they’ve also seen and learned, loved and lost. These lessons come together beautifully and effortlessly in ‘Hannah Hunt,’ being indicative of where they’ve been, where they are, and how they’ve felt along the way.

Hello? Hello?
Ca-Can you hear me?
I can be your china doll
If you want to see me fall.
Boy you’re so dope,
Your love is deadly.
Tell me life is beautiful,
They all think I have it all.
I’ve nothing without you.
All my dreams and all the lights mean
Nothing without you.
Prom Song (Gone Wrong)- Lana Del Rey
Boy, it’s late, walk me home, put your hand in mine,
At the gate stop and say “be my valentine”
You are, by far, the brightest star I’ve ever seen
And I never dreamed I’d be so happy that I could die.
You used to say that I was beautiful, like Cleopatra,
But you’re the king, too, so I would say back at ya.
I’d flip my hair and make you stare and put my make-up on
And make up stories bout my life and put my very-cherry on.
And even then I know that you were so mysterious
that you would dominate my thoughts from pretty (or) to serious
I’d see you in the hall like “hello, hello”
Up against the wall like let’s go, let’s go.
Let me take you out of this town,
Let me do it right now, baby.
Dancing till dark, staying forever young,
Let’s get out of this place, ‘cause you’re starting to waste
Within this teenage wasteland.
You will never see my face
If you don’t get me out of this place now, baby,
I’m not crazy.
I’m leaving, are you coming with me?
If you’re lonely, baby, hold me,
You’re my only one.
Watching television, kissing ‘till we see the sun.
So far we are safe in the dark
And I never dreamed that I’d be the queen and I’d be so happy that I could die.
You used to call yourself the Don and call me Queen Diana
You always made me blush and say “shut up boy, you’re bananas”
You’d pull my hair and push me down and chase me, make me run,
You’d play me Biggie Smalls and then my first Nirvana song
So even then, when no one’s friends were really serious
I knew you loved me by the way you looked in second period.
Let me take you out of this town,
Let me do it right now, baby.
Dancing till the dark, staying forever young,
Let’s get out of this place, ‘cause you’re starting to waste
Within this teenage wasteland.
You will never see my face
If you don’t get me out of this place now, baby,
I’m not crazy.
I’m leaving, are you coming with me?
I know that they say that all I want is to have fun and get away for rainy days
I know that they think I’ve come undone, but I’m in love, I wanna run, run, run away.
I’m leaving, are you coming with me?
Let me take you out of this town,
Let me do it right now, baby.
Dancing till dark, staying forever young,
Let’s get out of this place, ‘cause you’re starting to waste
Within this teenage wasteland.
You will never see my face
If you don’t get me out of this place now, baby,
I’m not crazy.
I’m leaving, are you coming with me?
