RUMOR
Scout Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know it's true
Same old story
Well, you know me
What could I do?
I know you're out there hovering above
You caught me looking
You got me all double-twisted-up
I know you would do anything
Just to get them to you
That same old story
You know me
I know you're out there hoverin' above
You caught me looking
You got me all double-twisted-up
Maybe it's crazy
I know you would do anything
To get them to you
Maybe it's crazy
I know you would do anything
Scout's song "Rumor" casts a lot of ambiguity in its lyrics that are left for interpretation. The song appears to address a "rumor" that the singer has heard, an unverifiable piece of information that is disclosed in hush-hush among people. However, the singer proclaims that he knows it's true, revealing a sense of inquisitiveness to probe into the matter further.
The lyrics "You caught me looking, you got me all double-twisted-up" indicate that the singer is being watched, maybe even stalked - a feeling of fear, anxiety and paranoia. The singer appears to be asking someone to provide more information and disclose the truth about the rumor. The line "Maybe it's crazy, I know you would do anything to get them to you," reveals that someone has a vested interest in this rumor and is doing everything possible to obtain it or has an ulterior motive related to it. The song presents more questions than answers, and the listener is left to guess at the nature of the rumor and the identity of the people involved.
"Rumor" is Scout's debut single, and it was released in 2017.
The song was produced by Kyle Kelso in Portland.
Scout describes the song as a "dream pop" song.
Scout is Portland-based duo consisting of drummer/producer Rafferty Swink and singer/songwriter Grace Bentley.
The song has a psychedelic atmosphere that is further enhanced by Bentley's haunting vocals.
"Rumor" is about gossip, secrets and manipulations in interpersonal relationships.
Scout has cited the shoegaze bands of the '90s as their biggest musical influence.
The songwriter Grace Bentley has an atmospheric writing style that paints vivid pictures in the listener's mind stimulating their imagination.
Scout's lyrics are designed to be left open-ended, to allow each listener to find their own meaning in the music.
The chords for the song are Gm, Cm, Eb, F.

It's hard to know
I'm the one who has your heart
But some girl might get the other parts
That used to be mine too
I'm learning to
Love you from afar
By which I mean across the bar
You're so beautiful
I'm working on accepting love without possession
I'm trying to love you without obsessing
I know you're still in love with me
The way I'm still in love with you
What are we gonna do
How will our love flow
I'm working on accepting love without possession
I'm trying to love you without obsessing
But OH - OH It's hard sometimes
And OH - OH just want you to be mine
We kissed last Saturday
And though I have no regrets
I don't think I will forget
Your lips on mine
I'm working on accepting love without possession
Because you are my future but not my present
You're my future but not my present
You're my future but not my present
You're my future but not my present

She gives vibes of artist long before her time. Joni Mitchell, Phobe Snow, Carly Simon. Even her stylings, all of it, from the swan to her hair. All of those girls are immensely talented. Good on you Bruce and Demi.

You've got such a unique tone to your voice, it's beautiful, deep, like a songbird in parts. I hope you pursue your music ❤
@ginavora
This is by far the best love song I've heard in a while. The poetry and melody is progressive yet dreamy and soulful. Her tenor/tone is enchanting with a smoky folksy depth. Brava Scout. I'm an new fan and I really look forward to more!
