Vampire Weekend - Unbearably White Lyrics
Baby, I love you
But that's not enough
And pulling away has been unbearably buff
I ran up the mountain
Out of your sight
The city was freezing
An elegant flow
The wind at the doorway was unbearably cold
You walked through the bedroom
And sat down to write
The page in your notebook was unbearably white
There's an avalanche coming
Don't cover your eyes
It's still a surprise
It's hard on the body
It's hard on the mind
To learn what kept us together, darling
Is what kept us alive
Sooner or later
The story gets told
To tell it myself would be unbearably bold
Presented with darkness
We turn to the light
Could've been smart, we're just unbearably bright
There's an avalanche coming
Don't cover your eyes
It's what you thought that you wanted
It's still a surprise
It's hard on the body
It's hard on the mind
To learn what kept us together, darling
Is what kept us alive
Call it a day
Call it a night
Careless and cold
And just unbearably white
Call it a day
Call it a night
Careless and cold
And just unbearably white
Call it a day
Call it a night
Careless and cold
And just unbearably white
Baby, I love you
But that's not enough
And pulling all the weight has been unbearably buff
I ran up the mountain
Out of your sight
The snow on the peak was just unbearably white
Call it a day
Call it a night
Careless and cold
And just unbearably white

Vampire Weekend Unbearably White Comments
Good song!
This is the perfect song for reading and sobbing
Somehow I find myself imagining that this could've been what Ibsen's Brand would've written to his wife if he survived God's love.
I really love this song..i wonder why didn't it reach a million yet 🤔 this is a fabulous song..
great song horrible video - a little too on the nose Ezra
...
...
...
i see what you did there
Who’s listening during the thanksgiving blizzard of 2019? 🙋♀️
At... 3:24 secs. The song took me to another dimension.
I found this song by coincidence, and now I put it on an endless loop. Unbearably joyful to join yalls never-ending weekend parties, vampire band! you have a new fan.
La belgian moon c'est pas une bière québécoise - jeanjean
Unbearably boring. Probably as boring as Parquet Courts or National or that idiot that sings Seasons Change. I fucking hate Vampire Weekend.
so on point.
unbearably indie
The only problem I have with this song is that it’s too slow. Otherwise great song 👍
This song is vibin
I feel like this song understands me on such a deep level. I feel the pain of being overwhelmed and trapped.
Nice.
No dead pixels.
I just listened to them at the Hollywood Bowl and when I heard 1:13 live for the first time I had goosebumps that never ended and teared up to a beautiful part of the music.
This song is so brilliantly subdued, I absolutely love it
Someone with some groove and soul worked on this song
I love this song. Never been a huge fan of vampire weekend but contra is an amazing album
1:53~2:13 felt like sunrise and full of hope.
Some music enthusiasts suggested this track to me.

Not really sure why. Apparently it's about the vanity of defining people's "whiteness," leaving the indie rock scene to adapt to the times, a strained relationship, all three, or none of the above. I don't particularly care about racial definition or rifts, I'm not in a relationship, and I enjoy music from every genre, indie or otherwise, and I especially like cross genre experimental groups.
Unless you're Trans Siberian Orchestra.
Fuck Trans Siberian Orchestra. Fucking worst of all worlds, whitest band ever, albino pieces of shit.
Zach Kornfield brought me here.
anyone else's heart drops and like shoulder relaxes at the first couple beats hah.
when you play too much Smash Bros and you can't unhear the Dragoon sound effect. here's a sample: https://youtu.be/Wur4LhA9B84?t=260
You guys are the supreme. Love you dudes
0:50 hey, Orchestra Hit sample - haven't seen you since about 1985!
Hum, was not sure about being unbearably white, but not a bad song <3
Really enjoying this band. Refreshing sound and clever lyrics.
Title is something all the Mexican kids used to call me :(
This is Radio Koenig from Warsaw (totally in love with the sampler). An italian fan. ❤️
Makes me think of this girl I used to know. Man is life a trip.
The title describes the Republican Party.
Ok out there theory, but there are weird similarities between this song and the 2014 film force majeure. Probs just coincidence
Ok... this song grew on me and now cant stop listening
i used this song to screen my monitor screen
song’s title describes hollywood
i used this video in full screen to clean my monitor
is it just me or the people skiing look like seagulls flying?
Used this video to clean my monitor. 10/10 would use again
Vampire Weekend = Summer
Contra = Autumn
Modern Vampires of the City = Winter
Father of the Bride = Spring
Will this be their final album? I hope not!
@Chunky Willo So I guess
Vampire Weekend is Summer (big summer vibes from the guitars),
Contra is Winter (already mentioned),
MVOTC is Fall (idk honestly), and
Father of the Bride is Spring (sunflower, spring snow, release date of early May)
@Chunky Willo Oh also, Wilos unite lol
They're not bon iver, not every album is a damn season.
@evan jensen people interpret the album however they want dude.
Friend- Describe yourself with one song.
Me-
Can't wait to see you in Nashville next week Ezra!!
Unbearably White & This Life = best on the album
This song is so beautiful & Ezra Koenig is a beautiful writer and lyricist.
I typed 'white' in google cause i needed a white screen to clean my screen. So thanks.=)
alguém do Brasil aqui 🇧🇷🇧🇷 🎶🎶🎧
❤️❤️🎶🎶🎵
Not a big fan of this album overall, but this song is excellent and definitely the strongest on the album in my opinion.
I've listened to this song about 30 times this week and never realized the dude skiing on the mountain
I can relate to this song's title on a personal level
Baby, I love you
But that's not enough
And pulling away has been unbearably buff
I ran up the mountain
Out of your sight
The snow on the peak was just unbearably white
The city was freezing
An elegant flow
The wind at the doorway was unbearably cold
You walked to the bedroom
And sat down to write
The page in your notebook was unbearably white
There's an avalanche coming
Don't cover your eyes
It's what you thought that you wanted
It's still a surprise
It's hard on the body
It's hard on the mind
To learn what kept us together, darling
Is what kept us alive
Sooner or later
The story gets told
To tell it myself would be unbearably bold
Presented with darkness
We turn to the light
Could've been smart, we're just unbearably bright
There's an avalanche coming
Don't cover your eyes
It's what you thought that you wanted
It's still a surprise
It's hard on the body
It's hard on the mind
To learn what kept us together, darling
Is what kept us alive
Call it a day
Call it a night
Calloused and cold and just unbearably white
Call it a day
Call it a night
Calloused and cold and just unbearably white
Call it a day
Call it a night
Calloused and cold and just unbearably white
Baby, I love you (Call it a day)
But that's not enough (Call it a night)
And pulling away has been unbearably rough (Calloused and cold and just unbearably white)
I ran up the mountain (Call it a day)
Out of your sight (Call it a night)
The snow on the peak was just unbearably white
Call it a day
Call it a night
Careless and cold and just unbearably white
Call it a day
Call it a night
Songwriters: Ezra Koenig
Oooo THE SOUND AT 0:51 YUM YUM YUM
Wasn’t that a computer game from the 90’s?
Fucking amazing song, takes 3-4 listens but stick with it
When someone says that the Mayo is too spicy:
6ixthony 6ixtano brought me here
what a beautiful way to morph a hate comment
A best friend of mine recommended this to me
Thanks Jeremy now i'm obsessed
Stfu and delete that comment
I've been listening to this album on repeat since it came out, this is one of my favorites from it, this was the track that made me realize Erza had to be the brains of this group from the start.
My dancing: unbearably white
I really like this song!
Fell in love right from the start 😍❤️✌🏻👍🏻
Music so bad anymore who makes this crap and then who listens to it? A bunch a gay guys
My favorite I can’t stop listening
Is this song about Rostam leaving the band causing Vampire Weekend to be......
1:52 omg that effect on the guitar is just incredible. Like it's singing.
Ikr its so incredible that even your eyes are bleeding XD
this one is just SO. GOOD.
The vibe of this entire song reminds me of Beach Houses entire album "Teen Dream". Check out the songs "Silver Soul" and "Take Care" specifically.
this clip helps to find dirt on my desktop
This better be played at the concert I'm going to I love it
That's not enough💋
Love the lead guitar interlude
“What kept us together, darling is what kept us alive” money honey
это шо Чар поёт?
0:51
I FELL OF MY BED
I like the lyrics and sound but I'm sure about the singer's voice.
I was listening to the album and that shit at 0:51 scared the crap out of me.
Clapping when the airplane lands.
The only good song on the new album. The rest is disposable pop trash. Sad to see such a great band go down the pooper.
I do miss Rostam in these new VW songs...
he worked on most these songs
Definitely my favorite song on the new album. So catchy and beautiful.
This is the freshest song I've heard in months and I am going to zen out to it endlessly for the next year or so
Reminds me a little of some of White Rabbits' stuff. No bad thing.
so good 😳🎀
VW 2008: The Hudson river all filled with snow
VW 2019: The city was freezing/an elegant floe
It's all connected!
That noise at 0:50 sounds like the dragoon from super smash bros
Do you think the title “unbearably black” would ever be written anywhere? Doubt it 🚮
You areways make beautiful beuaautiful music recordings.
Is no one gonna question the unbearably LOUD sound at 0:50?
its as if the 80s just bitch slapped my eardrums.
Dirty Projectors?
Oh hey, Ezra Koenig is a guest vocalist in this Dirty Projectors song.
I listen to this song every night, keep up the good work on the BEST MUSIC!!
