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.
