Beautiful Morning
The Jealous Sound Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We sing like we were young
Like the worlds had just begun
Like this song would make you whole

But it all just came undone
Now the devils had fun
We just watched it all unfold
Let the darkness take control, it takes control

It was a beautiful morning
I got stuck in my driveway
My breath condensed on the window
I wrote a message to myself
That only i would know

We all get by when we have to
We all can change when it's time to change
And i think i know what they're after

It was an ordinary day
We'd been down this road before
But they've come to collect, sent poor god in debt [?]
There's a fence around the rising water





I don't accept but i get it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Jealous Sound's song Beautiful Morning convey themes of nostalgia, loss, and the inevitability of change. The opening lines suggest a sense of optimism, as the singer talks about singing like they were young, relishing in new beginnings, and the transformative power of music. However, this sentiment is short-lived, and the following lines describe a world that has come undone, with the devil having his fun and darkness taking control. This contrast between the joy of youth and the harsh reality of the present day is heightened by the repeated refrain, "Let the darkness take control, it takes control."


The second verse, which begins with the line "It was a beautiful morning," further explores these themes. The singer describes getting stuck in their driveway, a detail that hints at feeling trapped, and the message they wrote to themselves on the window, which suggests a desire for self-preservation or self-remembrance. The lines "We all get by when we have to / We all can change when it's time to change / And I think I know what they're after" speak to a sense of resignation and acceptance, as if the singer knows that change is inevitable and that it's possible to adapt to new circumstances.


Overall, The Jealous Sound's Beautiful Morning is a poignant meditation on the fleeting nature of happiness and the need to accept the inevitability of change. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for the past, but also an acknowledgement that the past is irretrievable and that it's possible to find new meaning and purpose in the face of adversity.

The whole album :O It knocked my socks off when I saw his name in the liner notes. I guess Blair knew him and asked him to play bass, and he agreed and used his connections to get them the studio time to record the album. It's so awesome
