About Unbearably White
"Unbearably White" is a song by American indie pop band Vampire Weekend. It was released on April 4, 2019 by Columbia Records as a double A-side with "This Life", and the third single from their album "Father of the Bride". Discussing the track with The Sunday Times before its release, Koenig commented that "infighting among white people about who is marginally more or less white is not particularly interesting", and that the song partially explores that. .
Unbearably White Lyrics
[00:20.21] Baby, I love you
[00:22.77] But that's not enough
[00:25.11] And pulling away has been unbearably buff
[00:30.26] I ran up the mountain
[00:32.78] Out of your sight
[00:35.69] The snow on the peak was just unbearably white
[00:42.46]
[00:49.77] The city was freezing
[00:53.40] An elegant flow
[00:55.73] The wind at the doorway was unbearably cold
[01:00.61] You walked to the bedroom
[01:03.51] And sat down to write
[01:06.18] The page in your notebook was unbearably white
[01:12.30] There's an avalanche coming
[01:17.15] Don't cover your eyes
[01:21.75] It's what you thought that you wanted
[01:26.75] It's still a surprise
[01:32.25] It's hard on the body
[01:36.78] It's hard on the mind
[01:41.92] To learn what kept us together, darling
[01:47.02] Is what kept us alive
[01:51.85]
[02:12.14] Sooner or later
[02:14.38] The story gets told
[02:17.13] To tell it myself would be unbearably bold
[02:22.11] Presented with darkness
[02:24.52] We turn to the light
[02:27.43] Could've been smart, we're just unbearably bright
[02:33.93]
[02:42.89] There's an avalanche coming
[02:48.47] Don't cover your eyes
[02:53.35] It's what you thought that you wanted
[02:58.29] It's still a surprise
[03:03.73] It's hard on the body
[03:08.67] It's hard on the mind
[03:13.06] To learn what kept us together, darling
[03:18.35] Is what kept us alive
[03:23.04]
[03:32.63] Call it a day
[03:35.75] Call it a night
[03:38.24] Calloused and cold and just unbearably white
[03:43.10] Call it a day
[03:45.76] Call it a night
[03:48.17] Calloused and cold and just unbearably white
[03:53.51] Call it a day
[03:55.98] Call it a night
[03:58.45] Calloused and cold and just unbearably white
[04:03.71] Baby, I love you (Call it a day)
[04:05.93] But that's not enough (Call it a night)
[04:08.81] And pulling away has been unbearably rough (Calloused and cold and just unbearably white)
[04:13.67] I ran up the mountain (Call it a day)
[04:16.39] Out of your sight (Call it a night)
[04:18.89] The snow on the peak was just unbearably white
[04:24.09] Call it a day
[04:26.42] Call it a night
[04:28.93] Careless and cold and just unbearably white
[04:34.18] Call it a day
[04:36.66] Call it a night
[04:38.44]
