1) a three-member folk-rock band from the UK.
Emily, Jessica, and Camilla Staveley-Taylor have been making music together since they were children, growing up in Watford, UK, England. Brought up in a house that echoed to the sounds of Simon & Garfunkel, Crosby, Stills & Nash and The Beatles, singing in perfect 3-part harmony came naturally to these three sisters.Having started gigging in local pubs and cafes, The Staves are now captivating audiences on much bigger stages - earning rapturous encores with their exquisite songs of love & longing. Guaranteed to give you goosebumps, their extraordinary intertwining voices melt the most cynical of hearts.The Staves' Mexico EP will be released later this year via Atlantic Records.

2) a baroque pop band from NYC.
"Simple, yet intellectually challenging. Gloomy, yet beautiful. Artistically sophisticated, yet starkly presented...." (Indie-music.com)
"There are very few artists that consistently give me goosebumps. New York's Soren Anders [of The Staves] positively fits within this elite category. Over the last year, his stunning vocals and heartbreakingly beautiful melodies have won me over in a major way...." (The Music Slut Blog)

The Staves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my melodies on your tracks
Silly cinematic trouble on my mind
Lonesome is the road to leave it all behind
Remember what you did and never let it go
Keep it all inside and never say so
In your eyes you're still a child stealing stones
Look into the mirror, see you're getting old
Looking at each other, we are getting older
We are all famous, we are all golden to anyone these days
We are all ageless, we are all chosen to anyone these days
To nobody, to nobody one day
Just like a smiling crescent moon
Only a vision gone so soon
And I know I'm the worrying kind
And oh, I'm only trying, only trying to find
Remember what you did and never let it go
Keep it all inside and never say so
In your eyes you're still a child stealing stones
Look into the mirror, see you're getting old
Looking at each other, we are getting older
We are all famous, we are all golden to anyone these days
We are all ageless, we are all chosen to anyone these days
To nobody, to nobody one day
The lyrics to The Staves' song Nazareth are introspective and contemplative, exploring the themes of aging, memory, and the human experience. The first verse talks about the importance of having someone to rely on and the need for inspiration when feeling troubled. The singer is plagued by "silly cinematic trouble" on their mind, but they find comfort in having their melodies on someone else's tracks. However, this comfort is not a permanent solution as "lonesome is the road to leave it all behind."
The chorus delves into the idea that all humans are famous and golden to someone and ageless and chosen to anyone, but ultimately we are all unknown to nobody one day. It's a powerful reminder that no matter how much we achieve or who we are to other people, we all share the same fate of one day being forgotten.
The second verse features the same message with some added poetry. The "smiling crescent moon" is a fleeting but beautiful vision much like our own lives. The singer is also worried about their own aging and mortality, but they state that they are only trying to find some peace and acceptance in a world that is fleeting.
Line by Line Meaning
Keep the shadows off, off my back
Please protect me from any negativity or bad situations that may come my way
And my melodies on your tracks
Please listen to my music and help me share it with the world
Silly cinematic trouble on my mind
I can't stop thinking about problems that seem like they are straight out of a movie
Lonesome is the road to leave it all behind
It's hard to move on and start fresh, it can be a lonely journey
Remember what you did and never let it go
Don't forget the past, learn from it and hold on to those lessons
Keep it all inside and never say so
Sometimes it's better to keep your feelings to yourself and not share them with others
In your eyes you're still a child stealing stones
You may still feel like a child, taking things that aren't yours and not fully understanding the consequences
Look into the mirror, see you're getting old
Take a good look at yourself and realize that time is passing by
Looking at each other, we are getting older
As we interact with one another, we are all growing older and experiencing the passage of time
We are all famous, we are all golden to anyone these days
In today's society, everyone can become celebrated or admired for something, regardless of who they are or what they look like
We are all ageless, we are all chosen to anyone these days
Similarly, anyone can find a place in the spotlight and be seen as ageless or timeless by others
To nobody, to nobody one day
But in the end, it doesn't really matter because eventually, we will all be forgotten by the world
Just like a smiling crescent moon
Something that is beautiful and bright, but only lasts for a short period of time before fading away
Only a vision gone so soon
It was just a dream, something that felt so real but is now gone forever
And I know I'm the worrying kind
I tend to worry a lot and can't help but think about everything that could go wrong
And oh, I'm only trying, only trying to find
Despite my worries, I'm still trying to navigate through life and find my way
