Settle Down Lyrics:
I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Won't you settle down with me?
Settle down
We can settle at a table..
A table for two
Won't you wine and dine with me?
Settle down
I wanna raise a child
I wanna raise a child
Won't you raise a child with me...
Raise a child
We'll call her Nebraska
Nebraska Jones
She'll have your nose
Just so you know
I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Won't you settle down with me?
Settle down
Run from Angela Vickers
I saw her with you
Monday morning small talking on the avenue
She's got a fancy car
She wants to take you far
From the city lights and sounds deep into the dark
Star so light and star so bright
First star i see tonight!
Star so light and star so bright
Keep him by side!
I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Baby there's no need to run
I'll love you well
I wanna settle down
It's time to bring you down
On just one knee for now
Lets make our vows

    I think ahead of time means people/artists don't get the credit that they deserve at the time. But,if it had come out later, in would have been everywhere. Unfortunately, it's a double edge sword to be that. I personally would rather be considered ahead of my time than being everywhere-denoting usually rich and famous. Well, I'd take the riches but not the fame! Lol. I love my anonymity!

    For anyone that's confused, this song is about how girls are taught conform to certain roles like marriage/love, at an early age. Throughout the video, the girl is learning, cooking, cleaning etc(settling), while the man is not doing much of anything (in terms of marriage), for example the scene at the park where the man is still. Showing that the relationship is pretty much as good as a mannequin and mannequins are not really good for anything except display, maintaining an illusion or convincing you to buy into something, when it's not always sunshine and rainbows. The white dress (innocence) and the dolls being burnt shows that the little girls are not left alone to be children and innocent, but instead given roles and values to play etc. Meanwhile, Kimbra is wearing black because she has grown yet still while being influenced by the ideals that society expects from her, she chose to be free from them. There's a lot more to it but hope that gives you some thought, for anyone that did read :)

    I do too. My dancing is mostly shoulders, since I dance sitting down and doing other things a lot, and spinning and weird, jerky, just-decided-to-do-this movements. But I guess that's just how white girls dance. I like to say I dance so bad looking because it comes from the 'soul' or whatever you want to call it instead of choreography of any kind. As Eminem would say, you just let yourself go.

    I discovered Kimbra back in 2012 when I had met a nice lad from Hamilton, NZ. He said he knew Kimbra after our music discussions somehow landed on "now you're just somebody that I used to know" and suggested I give her a listen. From there I dove head first into her music and she quickly became one of my favorite artists of all time. I will never understand why she doesn't like Vows. I know it wasn't completely hers or as personal like her other albums but I always wait for the day when I'll hear another album as brilliant as this one. Cheers Kimbra, keep writing your story.

    This video is my absolute childhood. A few months ago I found my small old iPod I had when I was around 4yrs old, and this music video was saved on it. I remember, as a child, listening to her sing repeatedly and watching her dance, I was simply mesmerized & entertained. Obviously; when I was a child, I didn't understand what she was talking about. Although I do remember copying the way that girl's skirt was laid, resting on the ground. I do remember that nostalgic heartthrob whenever I am to watch those dolls burn. Her dancing is also very nostalgic... :) I'm happy.
