Tales Of Coming News

The Avett Brothers

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] I’m so tired of hearing tales of coming news Telling tales of a changing sky It’s just a shame that I didn’t notice you Till someone I loved had to die What made us think that this was so different Who is driving behind those things you say Why do you insult me and my friends Who are my friends anyway I’ve spent my life lying now I pay the price Are these really words of a young man or a worthless human life I don’t mean to scare you with the things I say I take it back yes it’s a beautiful day I watched you from the beach when your ship sailed You made it clear that nothing stays the same It’s getting darker I wonder if you could tell I wonder when did all that change [Riff] x4 [Verse 2] You never used to let me go un--- I was so distracted I never saw the rain You promised you meant every word you said I wonder when did all that change It hurts so bad to hear such pretty words coming from somebody like you I’ve been looking for so long that I’ve lost touch With what’s the best something to do I’ve got a friend who makes good choices Everyone likes the way that he sees things I’ve got a problem and it walks me daily Can’t you see no one’s proud of me It’s a long road alone and I’m not proving Anything going by myself When your love light is on and really moving Oh sugar girl I do appreciate the help [Riff] x4 [Verse 3] I had my fun with money gold and diamonds Thought went sour before they got to me I’ll be waiting girl but don’t go counting hours I’m not waiting for any of the three I was just a peasant from the highlands She said don’t you call me your mountain girl I said don’t bother me I’m trying to write and don’t worry you ain’t my mountain girl I can call you but I’d probably make you cry These days it’s what you often times do Call the preacher then go call your father Tell them that the wedding plans have moved I sent a message said I’d be gone forever The letter of reply never came She said that she’d be true but I wouldn’t let her I wonder when did all that change [Riff] x4 [Verse 4] Hell has no fury like a woman Happy scorned or otherwise You can do what you want to with your name But you can bet I’m changing mine Well I’ give hundred dollars to get letter If at the bottom it said I miss you bad See but the truth of the matter is no one back home really misses me You see how I talk when I’m sad Since I was young I’ve known a lot of women who said they’d give their love to me...

Cette chanson évoque un sentiment de désillusion et de regret face aux relations passées, à la vie et aux promesses non tenues. Le narrateur se sent fatigué d'entendre des histoires sur des changements à venir, réalisant que souvent, on ne remarque l'importance des gens que lorsqu'ils ne sont plus là. Il se remémore ses choix, ses échecs et son incapacité à établir des connexions authentiques avec ceux qui l'entourent. Il exprime à quel point il se sent déconnecté, cherchant désespérément une forme de rédemption dans des souvenirs et des relations désormais ternis. Le texte reflète des thèmes de solitude, d'amour perdu et de la difficulté d'accepter le passage du temps. Les paroles soulignent une lutte intérieure, mêlant nostalgie et un désir de renouveau, tout en questionnant les relations, l'identité et la valeur de ses choix de vie. C'est une exploration sincère des hauts et des bas de l'existence humaine.
