Staves, The - The Motherlode Lyrics






Counting the winters
Numb to the cold
Searching the valley
For secrets untold
The mountains are children
To someone so old

A king without kingdom or throne
Digging the mud and the stone

All men have left here,
But you have remained
At the banks of the river
Forever the same
Though no water flows here
The memory stays

As long as it stays you are here
Heartbroken year after year

People running away
Running like strangers
Day after day
Leave him alone

Golden river running from her home

The sun was an altar
Before which he knelt
And raised up the dagger
That hung from his belt
He cursed his delusion
And the sadness he felt

Weeping at what he’d become
Just a fool in the gold of the sun

People running away
Running like strangers
Day after day
Leave him alone

Golden river running from her home
Golden river running from her home
Golden river running from her home
Golden river running from her home

  45. g.... ....

    This song never gets old! Makes me feel warm and sunny (not fuzzy, lol) inside. :-)

  46. g.... ....

    Come to Argentina. I love your music.

  47. h.... ....

    Has anyone here had veggie bacon? HAHA! Staves are so awesome live :D

  48. c.... ....

    Lovely song. But I'm over the shallow depth of field music videos. Isn't time everyone got over shooting wide open and started thinking about framing and composition again.

  49. P.... Z....

    Cool, girls!

  50. G.... C....

    I'd be sooo happy to see you in France, hope it can/will happen.

    Good luck girls !

  51. G.... R....

    Yeah!! Its a beautiful song

  52. h.... ....

    Beautiful!
    Please come to Japan:-)

  53. r.... ....

    Trollolololol

  54. M.... M....

    live concert are much much better,truly amazing !

  55. A.... S....

    Did you seriously just call Mumford and Sons bad? Also The Staves are pretty awesome!

  56. J.... D....

    And who the fuck cares, if you don't like don't like The Staves don't listen to them. It's so simple, don't you agree?

  57. J.... B....

    Their songs get better with every listen.

  58. T.... O....

    Ok. Obviously you're too dull to feel the emotional side of music.

  59. D.... M....

    I've listened to several of their songs now and find them thoroughly dull (at least as bad as Mumford & Sons). Their melodies are weak, only one seems to play an instrument, and their voices are OK but not great. Listen to any good Irish traditional singer, above all the astonishing Muireann Nic Amhlaoidh, and you'll hear a huge difference.

    D.... M....

    I suppose that's just you. Personally, I find them very nice to listen to and quite creative.

  60. r.... ....

    She's luftly.

  61. S.... ....

    like if you ever used it in sims

  62. T.... ....

    Everything with this whole THING is such beautiful!!

  63. C.... B....

    Dublin?

  64. N.... A....

    I can't understand why this song has not hit a million views yet, and then some...

  65. M.... ....

    Absolutely love these girls! Would love to see them live again!

  66. E.... D....

    Beautiful video, and song, of course.

  67. G.... A....

    I agree with j b on a different level but a compliment all the same in comparison like the roches , great harmonies

  68. K.... H....

    is @3:50 not the prettiest smile you've ever seen????? sorry i'm drunk but they're so awesome

  69. a.... o....

    12 poeple are deaf

  70. K.... O....

    the harmony is just too great....

  71. S.... P....

    sims 3 agrees with this song.

  72. N.... P....

    Dublin!

  73. I.... R....

    Just listened to Mexico on Google Play. Nice.

  74. m.... ....

    No.. stop it there...

  75. g.... ....

    nice harmonies :)

  76. J.... H....

    "Daddy's money" can't buy the artistic skill or the lyrical depth that Mumford & Sons has achieved. Yes, the Staves are a different group, but I wouldn't say that they surpass Mumford in any way. Both great bands with great songs. You don't have to accuse one of "cheating" to defend the other's music greatness.

  77. J.... J....

    Chillax.

  78. M.... B....

    Love them

  79. J.... O....

    the best videos are hidden.

  80. A.... R....

    Beautiful :)

  81. A.... W....

    That voice.

  82. N.... N....

    Wonderful harmonies. Nothing like Mumford and Sons.

  83. C.... W....

    50k Simoleons

  84. B.... R....

    Yes Mumford & Bums Are Shite

  85. N.... A....

    Mumford & Staves :)

  86. E.... P....

    Mesmerising!

  87. S.... s....

    I instantly liked it because I new it would be good :3 mwhehehehe

  88. D.... V....

    Yesssssssssssss!! ;)

  89. C.... D....

    Haha motherlode was the money cheat on Sims :)

  90. p.... ....

    Surely even you the expert can hear. the resemblance. But then again im noone and you ARE the expert.

  91. h.... ....

    I have to say since I hear Mexico you guys have been my favorite relax band to listen to. I absolutely love this song! So beautiful and the lyrics so divine!

  92. E.... B....

    Itunes is for everone?

  93. D.... ....

    You have no taste for diversity.

  94. D.... ....

    or well for you just .com and you'll get it.

  95. D.... ....

    amazon . co . uk ?

  96. M.... F....

    they are nothing like mumford and sons and not in a bad way, mumford are my favourite band but they have completely different styles. The staves are far more mellow and have a prettier sound.
