The Sad Waltzes of Pietro Crespi
Owen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
After all you've had and you've lost?
It's a simple question
I'm only asking 'cause I don't want to die alone
could you love someone completely?
And yes, by "someone" I mean me
Spoiled sick like milk you let sit too long
As I lie awake waiting for you to lay beside me
I can almost hear the sad waltzes of Pietro Crespi
could you love someone who does whatever he wants to do
Whenever I want to?
It's a simple question
I'm only asking 'cause I don't want to die alone
The lyrics of The Sad Waltzes of Pietro Crespi by Owen depict a character who is seeking love and companionship. The song starts with a question - "Could you love someone enough after all you've had and you've lost?" The character wonders if someone could still have love and affection for them despite all the hardships they've faced in life. The singer then asks another question - "Could you love someone completely?" - and clarifies that by "someone," they mean themselves. The lyrics continue with the singer comparing themselves to spoiled milk and admitting they don't want to die alone.
Throughout the song, the tone remains melancholic and vulnerable. The final question "could you love someone who does whatever he wants to do whenever I want to?" shows the singer's insecurity and desire for someone to accept them for who they are. The haunting line "I can almost hear the sad waltzes of Pietro Crespi" suggests that the singer is alone and sad, with only their thoughts and old music to keep them company.

Great comment, next time just mic the guitar for better results. Most piezo sounds terrible. Haven't used mine in years and the low notes make it rattle a little it's so annoying. Tip for starting musicians looking to gig: buy the nicer guitar without the electronics and just mic it at shows.

I saw him live at a free show in Plymouth, NH—this song blew me away. He mentioned it was tuned to dadgad and I’ve never stopped using that tuning 😂

Owen is perfect to play on those lazy days or when you're hungover.
Florentino Ariza
"One night he sang. Macondo woke up in a kind of angelic stupor that was caused by a zither that deserved more than this world and voice that led one to believe that no other person on earth could feel such love. Pietro Crespi saw the lights go on in every window in town expect that of Amaranta. " Do your sensuality a favor and buy read this book if you haven't yet
