“Capital Karma” by Manchester Orchestra – A Song Feature

     Few bands can match the ability of Manchester Orchestra to pull a listener into the emotion of a song. The accuracy of that statement shines brightly with the release of “Capital Karma.” We are drawn into the sentiment of the song without have any notion of what the song is about until the final verse. The chorus does provide a hint with the statement “All I wanna do is wait for you.” But we don’t care; we’re invested in the emotion regardless of the message. Then, the final verse is presented by layered vocals that seem devotional. We assume that the verse is speaking to a love interest, but the verse is suitable for praise to a deity:

I'm not trying to stand in the way

I'm in love with whoеver you are

Nothing here is gonna take that away

It is you and it's been from the start

 
      It is important to note that the piano provides a meaningful assist in conveying the sentiment of “Capital Karma.” And the production is skillful. The members of Manchester Orchestra are Andy Hull (vocals, guitar), Robert McDowell (guitar, vocals), Tim Very (drums), and Andy Prince (bass). Ethan Gruska played piano for “Capital Karma.”
 
     The single is from the upcoming album “The Valley Of Vision,” which will also be a virtual reality film. The album will be released on March 10, while the film will debut the day before as a watch party on the band’s YouTube channel. Andy Hull said:
  “Making The Valley Of Vision was an exciting idea of what the future could be for us in terms of how we create,” Hull says. “None of these songs were written with the band being in the same room in a live setting. They were really like science experiments that started from the bottom and were added to gradually over time. We’re intrigued by doing things the wrong way, or attempting things we haven’t done before and getting inspired by them.”

Lyrics of “Capital Karma” by Manchester Orchestra
When the message was over
By the house
Near the grave
 
So you wander in, aimless
For a while
And went away
 
It was Carman departing
Was it wrong?
In a way
 
I defended your drama
I'm a heart
You're a brain
 
All I wanna do is wait
For you
All I wanna do is wait
For you
There's nothing left to say
 
This capital carnage
On a float
A parade
 
Now you're craving your karma
Where'd it go?
And what'd it say?
 
All I wanna do is wait
For you
All I wanna do is wait
For you
There's nothing left to say
 
Am I losing my patience?
I feel it
I’m afraid that you know
You can see it
Let me stand by the door
Let me breathe in
I forgave myself
So forgivе yourself
 
I'm not trying to stand in the way
I'm in love with whoеver you are
Nothing here is gonna take that away
It is you and it's been from the start
