About Harmony Hall
Along with the track “2021,” “Harmony Hall” was the first single released from Vampire Weekend’s fourth album "Father of the Bride", their first since 2013. The song breezes along with an infectious energy, with the lyrics interpolating a line from their 2013 song, “Finger Back,” off of their previous album "Modern Vampires of the City". The song seems to be about the change of impressions over time, possibly related to the spread or sudden resurgence of hate groups within high-class American universities .
Harmony Hall Lyrics
[00:18.71] We took a vow in summertime
[00:21.37] Now we find ourselves in late December
[00:25.92]
[00:29.10] I believe that New Year's Eve
[00:31.09] Will be the perfect time for their great surrender
[00:35.29] But they don't remember
[00:38.52] Anger wants a voice, voices wanna sing
[00:43.73] Singers harmonize till they can't hear anything
[00:48.19] I thought that I was free from all that questionin'
[00:53.15] But every time a problem ends, another one begins
[00:57.74] And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
[01:02.10] Anybody with a worried mind could never forgive the sight
[01:07.50] Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
[01:12.33] I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
[01:17.19] Ooh, ooh, ooh
[01:22.12]
[01:31.85] I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
[01:37.59]
[01:42.32] Within the halls of power lies a nervous heart that beats
[01:46.42] Like a Young Pretender's
[01:49.48]
[01:51.82] Beneath these velvet gloves I hide
[01:54.29] The shameful, crooked hands of a moneylender
[01:58.67] 'Cause I still remember
[02:01.85] Anger wants a voice, voices wanna sing
[02:06.44] Singers harmonize till they can't hear anything
[02:11.41] I thought that I was free from all that questionin'
[02:16.25] But every time a problem ends, another one begins
[02:20.91] And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
[02:25.38] Anybody with a worried mind could never forgive the sight
[02:30.46] Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
[02:35.18] I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
[02:40.35] Ooh, ooh, ooh
[02:54.98] I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
[03:00.68]
[03:19.83] And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
[03:24.26] Anybody with a worried mind could never forgive the sight
[03:29.36] Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
[03:34.42] I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
[03:40.09]
[03:59.06] Ooh, ooh, ooh
[04:13.36] I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
[04:18.64] And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
[04:22.98] Anybody with a worried mind could never forgive the sight
[04:28.35] Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
[04:32.99] I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
[04:36.34]
