About Big Blue

“Big Blue” was released alongside “Sunflower” in the second of three early two song releases for Vampire Weekend’s "Father of the Bride". It talks about the emotion felt when around the ocean, and the tremendous power the ocean has. That is why the music video is of fish. "Big Blue" is likely a reference to the 1992 Sega Genesis game Echo The Dolphin. In an interview with Pitchfork, Ezra said that the game had a big influence on Father of the Bride. .

Big Blue Lyrics

[00:00.17] Big blue, for once in my life I felt close to you
[00:04.23] I was so overcome with emotion
[00:07.63] When I was hurt and in need of affection
[00:10.96] When I was tired and I couldn't go home
[00:14.40] Then you offered protection
[00:17.41] So am I learning my lesson?
[00:20.94] Or am I back on my own?
[00:26.40] Big blue, for once in my life I felt close to you
[00:30.04] I was so overcome with emotion
[00:33.52] When I was hurt and in need of affection
[00:36.67] When I was tired and I couldn't go home
[00:39.82] Then you offered protection
[00:43.43] So am I learning my lesson?
[00:46.52] Or am I back on my own?
[00:51.43] Big blue, for once in my life I felt close to you
[00:55.31] I was so overcome with emotion
[00:58.45] When I was hurt and in need of affection
[01:01.79] When I was tired and I couldn't go home
[01:05.50] Then you offered protection
[01:08.68] So am I learning my lesson?
[01:12.08] Or am I back on my own?
[01:16.66] Big blue, for once in my life I felt close to you
[01:21.04] I was so overcome with emotion
[01:23.89] When I was hurt and in need of affection
[01:27.05] When I was tired and I couldn't go home
[01:30.72] Then you offered protection
[01:34.40] So am I learning my lesson?
[01:37.55] Or am I back on my own?
[01:39.20]
