A song for Epiphany: ‘So why love anything?’

A song for Epiphany: ‘So why love anything?’ January 6, 2014

I like the original from Vampire Weekend, but Phosphorescent’s take on the song “Ya Hey” finds something sad and beautiful and heartbreaking in there.

Stripped down like this, it becomes a love song about an unrequited love that never gives up. That’s Epiphany in a nutshell.

Through the fire and through the flames
You won’t even say your name
Only “I am that I am”
But who could ever live that way?

Merry Christmas.
