Devendra Banhart releases his Nonesuch debut, Mala, on March 12, 2013. The singer/songwriter co-produced the record with his longtime bandmate, guitarist Noah Georgeson. Mala may be pre-ordered now on CD and vinyl in the Nonesuch Store with: a limited-edition, autographed print; an instant download of the album track “Für Hildegard von Bingen”; and a download of the complete album available starting release day. The Mala LP is pressed on 140-gram vinyl and includes the album on CD, an additional 7” with two bonus tracks, and an exclusive poster. Mala, Banhart's eighth studio album, was recorded in his then-home in Los Angeles. (He now resides in New York City.) He and Georgeson played most of the instruments themselves, using borrowed equipment and a recorder they'd found in a pawn shop. The recorder is a couple of decades' old piece of gear “that a lot of early hip-hop had been made on,” says Banhart. “And knowing my songs are not hip-hop whatsoever, we thought it would be interesting to see how these kinds of songs would sound on equipment that was used to record our favorite rap. Let's see how this technology would work for us.” Banhart also notes how his voice has developed over the years: “I don't really take care of my voice, but, just like with playing guitar, you get more familiar with it, and you get better at it. I've always said that I'm very good at not knowing how to play the guitar but, really, it's just that I'm very comfortable with the utter uncertainty of my approach.” Banhart's previous release, 2009's What Will We Be, received critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone calling it “the best he's ever made.” The Los Angeles Times said the record “found him making comfortable, laid-back folk that didn't sound like a compromise—more like an artist growing into his own.” Devendra Banhart was born in Houston, TX, and moved with his mother to her native Caracas, Venezuela, when his parents separated. The family relocated to Los Angeles during his teenage years; it was there that he learned to speak English, skateboard, and play music. Banhart first began to perform in public while attending the San Francisco Art Institute. He has since lived in Los Angeles, Paris, San Francisco, and New York City. Banhart first attracted international notice with his 2002 debut album, Oh Me Oh My … The Way the Day Goes By the Sun Is Setting Dogs Are Dreaming Lovesongs of the Christmas Spirit—a collection of recordings he had made for himself. Pitchfork said in its review: “Banhart's promising debut is the sign of someone destined for great, strange things.” Subsequent albums include Rejoicing in the Hands, Niño Rojo, Cripple Crow, and Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon. He has collaborated with fellow musicians including Antony and the Johnsons, Beck, Vashti Bunyan, Os Mutantes, Swans, and Vetiver. He also has performed with both Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso, and was part of a David Byrne–curated concert at Carnegie Hall. An accomplished visual artist, Banhart's distinctive, minutely inked, often enigmatic drawings have appeared in galleries all over the world, including the Art Basel Contemporary Art Fair in Miami; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels; and Los Angeles' Museum of Contemporary Art. He has created the cover art for most of his records, including Mala, and in 2010 his artwork and packaging for What Will We Be was nominated for a Grammy.

Cosmos And Damien I've never told this story to another living soul For fear it might awaken and the story would unfold Candles in a courtyard And a paper colored cat While demos danced on feathers And cosmos held the hat Next came their profession And a paper colored purr And umber armed albino And the crowd began to stir I slid behind a linden To swallow what I'd seen I slid behind a linden To swallow what I'd seen Threads of grass and thimbles Needles made of hair Weaves a dance that stumbles Limbs laughed in the air Threads of grass and thimbles Needles made of hair Weaves a dance that stumbles Limbs laughed in the air And on the day you fall Who's name would you call The only thing you taught me is the only thing you know How to start a fire once the embers cease to glow The only thing you taught me is the only thing you know How to start a fire once the embers cease to glow

An Island And all my fingers ran off And I just couldn't follow them Your eyelash was an island And your eyes were someone's friend Oh could that have been Well I hardly was a real sweet thing Now when my smells grew some new smells And I just couldn't smell them all I smell my sister in the winter And my father in the fall Cross and then snow A tired moan
Be Kind Be kind, baby be kind Be kind, baby be kind The light of this might Align your legs to time They give me up as I got mine Oh and that's too many times Baby be kind And my eyelids are fine Don't let your eyes pop out boy You may drop your black candy apple From the fright of having your eyes pop out And someone else buys seeing double So be kind baby be kind Won't cha be kind baby be kind And the way he drops the ants will cover him up I said you'd get 'em back dear Don't cha try to puff them all up Baby dear don't cha try To be kind baby be kind You know the light of this whole world and mine Aligns your legs to time The lake it ain't your fire And that is all I've had Too many had done These eyelids mine Don't let your eyes pop out You might drop them on your stove And they'll wiggle on home
Owl Eyes Send me up hollow eyes unwinding Asia and all your little diamonds All your little diamonds Everybody that's inside me buries the body that's behind me The body that's behind me
The Good Red Road It ain't hard to adore ya Thread ya into my town Put your guard down, explore ya And I'll always be around I want to live in Jamaica Yeah I wanna live in Jamaica ..hair down How'd they get their nose ..your hair down I'm in love with an anchor I can floss with her tail She's the island above me And I can tell, I can tell When ya finally break my legs And I can never leave the house again Then I'll finally love you And we can have some kids
Electric heart
The electric heart shines for you It's given up sparks But that's nothing new The electric heart Spins its lightning web The spider sparkle lights the way ahead I eat the biscuits, a gift for her I eat the fishes, they got no fur The open road Oh God's final town I'll take a little sip from its high drip The earth hurts sky say your name The earth was dry until you came A little baby begins to grow A happy belly begins to glow The electric sky combing in the snow He's always high He's a gentle soul My winter friends with Christmas legs And cold, cold beards And frozen heads We keep them shiny We keep them shone Cuz though they're tiny, they're valuable I've lost my nails But that's nothing new And goddamn thumbs Thumbs, goddamn you And if all else fails As all else do There's someone else for sure will take my place Now flung from dreams your voice reappears And it almost sings like you're almost here Singing an ancient chant, spreads his dusty lens And I'm coming in in my head Electric heart sang for us Shining love
Rejoicing in the hands
This is the way
This is the soup That i believe in This is the smoke I'm always breathin' This is the way I share my breakfast This is the way I serve my sentence I know I know I should lay low I should stand tall This is the beard I'm always growin' I know they're here I see them floating Her empress beards They float so holy Their beards are here They gently hold me Well who knows who knows Yeah I may come home Yeah I may return This is the way I'm always leaving This is the soft Voice of the evening This is the way I hear my father These are the flames That drown the water Well I knew I knew I could stand tall I could lay low This is the sound That swims inside me That circle sound Is what surrounds me This is the land That grows around me And these are the hands That come in handy Well we've known we've known We've had a choice We chose rejoice
A Sight to Behold It's a sight to behold When you've got some old words to mold And you can make 'em your own Still love it would be much better Love it would be much better I'm told It's like golden corn And I love its golden glow It's the little head inside your little hole And out spring some sparkling thoughts Still love it would be much better Love it would be much better Love it would be much better Love it would be much better It's like finding hope In an old folk song That you've never ever heard Still you know every word And for sure you can sing along But love it would be much better Love it would be much better Love it would be much better Love it would be much better I know, I know
The body breaks
The body breaks And the body is fine I'm open to yours And i'm open to mine The body aches And that ache takes it time But you'll get over yours And i'll get over mine And the sun will shine And the moon will rise up The body calls Yeah, the body, it calls out It whispers at first But it ends with a shout The body burns Yeah, the body burns strong Until mine is with yours Then mine will burn on My flesh sings out It sings, "come put me out" The body sways Like the wind on a swing A bridge through a hoop Or a lake through a ring The body stays And then the body moves on And I'd really rather not dwell on When yours will be gone But within the dark There is a shine One tiny spark That's yours and mine
Poughkeepsie
One, two, three, four By the banks of old Poughkeepsie My love swam with me Nature's tender bones are breathing lungs Each breaths each breeze and Have you felt it? Have you? I've felt it too And so have you Summer days she stays by her window Her saggy flesh it sweeps the floor Down her steps and through her hallway Coming out her door and Have you seen it? Have you? I've seen that too And so have you Now man holds hands hand neck shaped cobweb White oil fills each pore Again down your steps and through your hallways Jumping out your door and Have you done it? Have you? I've done that too And so have you Well, love me tender V-v-v-v-v-v-iva Las Vegas And now I'm all shook up Heartbreak hotel Lordy miss cordy Blue moon blue suede shoes and Have you heard it? Have you? I've heard that too And I know for sure That so have you

*** Thanx a lot to Serge for this one *** Korean Dogwood Red oak sugar and Korean dogwood and Korean dogwood Vibes turn to rubbed rum Lit by mission moonlight Kangas on that hillside You are my life And you baffle me some Like vanilla's maple Inca cornflower You're my baby's blue eyes And when you're gowndissolves in a prayer You'll hear a sound That rings true and fair Black King lightning The dawn of orange blossoms and orange blossoms My friend Keegan Drawing endless love songs, endless love songs Calm breath, sweet being, show me what you're seeing Show me what you're seeing And though right and loud and proud Every little word It still ain't heard Strange prayers looming Over all our brothers, over all our brothers Prison life served But Navajo Gospel Is a rope thrown helpful But for sure all that we've made Will be swallowed by the Earth For it's got no worth
Little boys Life is tough and love is rough For the man who just can't ever seem to get enough The days go by and the women come and go So many that you decide to get rid of your front door So you don't have to hear them all disappear You just sit and you wait Staring at your empty plate And you can say I'm a lonely sailor Rockin' gently on my dreams 'Cause I can have it all, but I don't want it all And it ain't like I've never ever ever tried I've just never been fully satisfied But just a tie a little shoelace And to share a sleeping bag And I look ahead to the days When I can look back at all the fun that I've had But still, but still, but still.. I see so many little boys I wanna marry I see plenty little kids I've yet to have Even when the moon goes out Even when the sea dried out I still see so many little boys I wanna marry I see plenty little kids I've yet to have now Even when the sea's all freeze And everything's lying underneath Even when the sun ceases to shine I won't care, I'll still have on my mind So many little boys I wanna marry yeah yeah I see plenty little kids I've yet to have And in the shower I get my dreaming done I hold my breath and I wait for the day to come Oh little Billy, little Timmy, little Jimmy, you're the one I may not look it, but I swear my heart is young for so many.. Little boys I wanna marry I see plenty little kids I've yet to have you know you know I've got many little boys I wanna marry, yeah you know I've got many little kids I've yet to have Oh oh, Yeah yeah Little boys I wanna marry, yeah you know I've got plenty little kids I've yet to have now, yeah you know I've got so many, so many little boys I wanna marry now, marry now So many...

So long old bean Well these days I'm spread so thin I'm getting carried up by the wind Every time you get high You might see me floating by Well so long old bean It's been a dream being with you I couldn't tell us apart Oh and i know neither could you Don't tread on me When you float downstream On a moonbeam So long old bean So long old bean Here comes the mapinguari singing awww When's there gonna be an end to wondering When all of our troubles are gonna end 'cause We've had our fill of finding our empty pockets Emptier still and there probably won't be An end to that my friends Now that my tralala's are dating Little sips of the Hollywood bowl They mute up my mind How kind of them to mellow mellow mellow my soul Well they're the gambling kind As smooth as a tuba' ass on the dole Money never beats soul How noble Don't forget me When you float downstream On a moonbeam So long old bean So long old bean I'm a little firefly Landing on you

Shabop shalom Our story begins on a sunday afternoon Just between halfway tree and spanish town Where a young boy Not yet the cock o' the walk that he would soon become, Was lying on the grass and takin' in the sweet and sensuous scent of hibiscus That languidly lilted along the summer breeze It was at this precise moment that he saw her. Her walk was soft and delicate with a thaumaturgical touch That only a rabbi's daughter could have Before their eyes had even met Her luminous lips had already lured him in Salvation winked with he promise of a briss held at pinnacle And a congregation of sages bunny hopping and chicken dancing to yiddish mento Then their eyes linked An aeon blinked amharic vows were scryed upon their hearts Just to think this could all be with a frenectomy and a few words of love. My shabop shalom baby Won't you shabop shalom with me Under the old banana tree Whoa, whoa My sweet telavivian lamb's bread My heart can act as an emoliant And you'll never ever say Get bent! No, no Todamama todamama Todamama todamama Todamama Todamama todamama Todamama todamama Todamama All the signals that i'm sendin i'll keep sending And on the constantillionth time I'll make you mine Yes, i swear i will Your sweet supple breasts are golden ghettos Soft statues in stilettos Two wise men instead of three Blow a kiss just for me I'm ever in a foul mood I've gotta see you in your talmud And so happy in makes me (who who who who who) You wanna know who Who wrote the book of jude? She wants to know who (who who who who who) Who wrote the dead sea scrolls? Well, i did, i did Yeah Yes, i did, i did I did, i did Mm-hm! I did, i did Hexakosioi hexekonta hex phobia can be a fun ordeal I swear by solomon's seal Honey, when it comes to love There's a fire in the deep bend of my heart Givin' me the heeby-geebys You see I know the land of wood and water is Merely fooder for the loves slaughters And darling, I've watched you cake walk to the immaculate conception For far too long Walls are wailing I'm livicated to you Ahaba raba Ahaba raba for you We're in heaven We're in heaven, it's true I'm in ascending I'm ascending tonight with you
Tonada Yanomaminista We burned all our clothes Blew Yopo up our nose We're a young and lazy ol' wild boar Yep We followed the stork It led us to camp We didn't get lost but we lost a chance 1901 was the year of the bleedin' horse And I was lonely, lonely 1902 the Devil sucked off the moon Please hold me, please hold me My ear to your chest, Your back to the ground, Please move mama Please make a sound That war party's lookin' for you And lookin' for me Damn, damn, we weren't scared Just unprepared So we followed the caw 'Till our eyes were locked in, We became her and she became them And then I heard the voice of heaven Sayin' don't be scared of anything I heard the voice of the land, The beautiful land, sing I recognize you mother In a little playful touch from death As above so below You're in control of the rest Then the six nippled frog Ran across the golden moss Followin' behind us, behind us And the W.A.C. Was pointing Remingtons at the trees They couldn't find us Can't find us

Saved Well I don't need nobody to rescue me, Or help me see the way you treat me. But I do need somebody to help me say It's time to walk away (Alright, okay) Too many times Too many times Too many times You crossed over that line You changed your mind You changed your mind You changed your mind But I never did change mine Still I was saved by the fire Singing its song in my heart That hypnotized all the demons And tore them apart But you make them all come back You make them all return You're so good at that And I will never learn No I never will (I never will, baby) Well I don't need nobody to heal my pride Cause I'm playing dead inside But I do need somebody To come wake me up, shake me up Help me to stand up, stand up You put me down You cut me down You turned me down And I still stick around You tame my soul Swallowed me whole I lost control And I still couldn't let you go But I was saved by the fire That was burning deep inside of myself I was a knave to desire But I finally got a little bit of help You ripped out my tongue You couldn't trust me with that You hid your trust fund I wouldn't a judged you for that You made me feel dumb Well I ain't new to that I must-a treated you wrong And now you're treating me wrong right back Two many times, three many times, four many times I'm about to crack Eight many times, nine many times Too many times I lost track Still yes, I was saved by the fire Burning deep inside my soul Yeah I was saved by the fire Burning deep inside my soul (Yeah, I know, yeah I know) Yes I was saved by the fire Burning deep inside my soul…

Ay tu primo colorado Con barba camburada Y llena de ballena Inclinadose al sol Ay tu rayo de luz roja Besando nuestra boca El beso que te sopla Huele a alcohol Tus tres ojos lunares Extraterrestriales Entran cuando sales Por eso no se ven Ay tu barba colorada Traviesa y rebelde Me afeito con espada Pero devuelve La la la la la la... Si la noche te persigue Entrégate a ella O dile que tienes dolor de cabeza Sombrita de reflejo Dame algo tierno Me como tu amor Y cago el infierno Adio, adio, adio Berno, berno Berne berne berne oh oh Berne berne berne oh oh La la la la la la la... Ay tus ojos colorados Azul y anaranjados Amarillo verde y marrón Mi amor envuelto en tu corazón No lo sueltes por favor Somos elefante y serpiente semejante Tomando aguardiente En el sol De una flor... La la la la la la la...
The Other Woman
I walk with my head down I mumble all the words I keep my feelings to myself only I never stand my ground I just stand around If you love me then why won't you hold me Everything and everyone around me is changing Now that I've been the other woman Your music rides ten horses in the sky And gallops through the evening You, you have no side for me to stand by In space, I see you and her And everything and everyone around me is changing Now that I've been the other woman Oh now that I've been the other woman Like a newlywed hummingbird Building its home Stick by stick above the river You are green, you are red You are yurple you are blue You are gold you are silver Well my eyes are made of lemons My tears are made of limes You love me, you hate me, I'm losing my mind I've sailed the sea of love aboard the ship of hopes I'm a skipper, I'm the captain, I'm the crew And everything and everyone around me is changing Now that I've been the other woman Oh now that I am the other woman I will always be the other woman I'll never be the only woman The only woman...
Freely It ain't about a heart you find It's about the one you sight It's about the love you hide It's waitin' to be let outside And it ain't about losing your mind But if you happen to, that's fine But there's only one way to shine And it's called trying to live Freely, freely meu coracao Freely, freely meu coracao I'd like to live that way I'd like to live that way And my mother may not understand Why I'm the way that I am But i love her and I wanna let her in (do you love her?) Get to know a friend And now we gotta take some time Get to know each other our whole lives And I call on you to remind Nothing's really mine Except for Freedom, freedom en meu coracao Freedom, freedom en meu coracao I'd like to live that way Oh I'd wanna stay stay that way You ever seen anything as kind As the wind blowing by I've never seen anything as wise As the sun rise that shines Freely, freely en meu coracao Freely, freely meu coracao I'd like to live that way Oh I'd wanna live that way
I remember I remember a faraway laugh A sweet caress You'd help me zip up my dress I remember your arms around my neck 21 shells wrapped in my nest Endlessness Didn't last I won't change Given the chance And I remember no place for me to hide Before you came home at night I remember you turning out the lights All I ever saw was the red in your eyes No big surprise Happened nearly every night Your own flesh and blood I did wonder why I remember not knowing what to say And how calm you had remained Your child stillborn with no name I remember the never-ending summer rain Oh Please don't let what was get in the way of what's next Don't forget That what's to come hasn't come yet
My Dearest Friend I'm gonna die of loneliness, I know I'm gonna die of loneliness, for sure I'm gonna die of loneliness, I know I'm gonna die of loneliness, for sure My dearest friend You'll soon begin to love again To love again
What Will We Be
*** Thanx a lot to Michelle & Susanne for these lyrics ***
Can't Help But Smiling Mama ain't it wild when You can't help but smiling What fun to not know why We're lost in the only thing Truly worth getting lost in It's so nice to think you're alone And to look up and see you home Mama ain't it wild when You can't help but smiling Mama ain't it wild when You can't help but smiling You can't help but smiling You can't help but smiling You can't help but smiling
Angelika Replenish your blossoming bacchanal And let regret end at the start of the day And don't take no secret back to your grave Let everyone know Let everyone know Angelika, Angelika, Angelika Angelika, Angelika, Angelika If wildness covers the colors you sense Then how could you think God has no friends If life's for the living and death for the dead And love's in your heart and hate's in your head You got to go blank to let it appear The garden on high grows bigger each year Without the black stone you can't break the string The omniverse sings of all these things Angelika, Angelika, Angelika Angelika, Angelika, Angelika Cañoneros disparando Aguinaldo en el barrio Velero de luz que trae el cambio Que caiga la cruz y suba dios La lagrima en to corazon Suelta la, suelta la mi amor Mi amor mi amor Angelika, Angelika Cañoneros disparando Aguinaldo en el barrio Velero de luz que trae el cambio Que caiga la cruz y suba dios La lagrima en to corazon Suelta la, suelta la mi amor Mi amor mi amor
Baby
Baby I finally know what I'm going after I'm learning to let in all the laughter Holy moly You're so funny You crack me up You crack me up Look out for dreams that keep returning Cause magic ain't no hand me down yearning You gotta feel it gotta want it The way I want you babe Traveling by choo choo train We know where we just don't know when Like some everlasting onion pulled by love Never heard a better bad joke said out loud You flip flop and I wild out Can you believe it I can't believe it but it's true You're giving eighty billion years of giggling A whole new world to live in But this one's real, this one's real This one's real Like some bow tied kangaroo You be the one and I'll be one too Play it goofy or play it cool We're on our minds Everything that happened You know it don't mean a thing to us 'Cause so much is gonna happen because You showed me a sunset overflowing But who cares where it's going As long as you're next to me
Goin' Back Goin' back to the place Where it all started from Gonna see my old friends try and have a little fun Goin' back to the way that it once used to be Have a couple drinks and wander aimlessly Just like old times Yeah just like old times And maybe see the changes in me Remember where I've been and never go back again Maybe see the changes in me Make no mistake There's plenty of those to make Never never never goin' back Never ever ever goin' back Goin' back to the place where my lover and I met I can give her all I got She can ring my little neck just like old times Just like old times Goin' back to the time when I didn't need a thing Just the tappin' of my foot and a little song to sing That'll do just fine Yeah that'll do just fine And maybe ??? ?? I go, ?? I come Take me anytime you like hon' Take me as I am or as who I might become Never ever ever goin' back Never ever ever goin' back Goin' back, goin' back, goin' back Goin' back, goin' back, goin' back Goin' back, goin' back, goin' back...
The First Song for B Watch the stream run by you Watch the Indian chief Wrapped in blue corn leaves drift by you Watch you take root in the son's palm And rise out of the fire No more being match wood Only rising higher I wanna see you be the one who's first light Harbors in the new day And see you settle into yourself And never be afraid Now I take everything as a good sign Because I'm in love I take everything as a sign from God And now I give myself to you alone No more knives hang above me Oh B Please destroy me, please destroy me Please destroy me, please destroy me, oh, oh
Last Song for B A movement Attunement A new dream Beyond dream A shadow Lies wilting A child Born singing I want to grow I want to grow I want to grow I want to grow Want to grow Holding on Unite us This lifetime As lovers For all time
Chin Chin and Muck Muck When I was a young boy I had a lot of young boys And we taught each other dearly how to love Oh dearly how to love Now that I'm an old hag All I got's are things that sag But it really ain't so bad No it really ain't so bad Look at the neighbors with their long blonde hair Makin' their money at the Renaissance fair They live under your dress in a massengilic mess Singin' klang bang wang I swear The neighbors will hear you The neighbors will hear you The neighbors will hear you The neighbors will hear you A glass eye tends to the garden in your breast singin' Mama you're a dog too dull to bite My love's central sun Hides her bells in emptiness I hung the hangman And I ain't afraid to fight But he's gonna get me He's gonna get me He won't forget me He's gonna get me Well steal my face I do declare This might be a start of a new affair I'm gonna braid exotic birds in your hair How can I tell 'Cause I see wildfire everywhere ??? All my thoughts are hairs On a wild wild boar Runnin' slowly down the lilac slope We're tryin' not to scare The sweet prairie hogs As we descend on them like vultures through the fog We're vulpinous vultures We're elegant armchairs We're vulpinous vultures Give heals time to wound as we lazily spoon Bend me over bend me back my bow And take a little sniff And I'll grant you every wish Glue my belly to your gibbous rainbow Chin Chin and Muck Muck
16th and Valencia Roxy Music I don't know where to go 'Cause I know where to go Well I know where not to go 'Cause I know where to go Tonight we're gonna find our lover Tonight we're gonna find our man Riding six white horses Wearing them pressed blue jeans Gonna behead the king And give the queen everything 'Cause tonight we're gonna find our lover 'Cause tonight we're gonna find our man We're gonna find our We don't know where to go We know where to go We don't know what to do We know what to do We don't know where to go We know where to go We don't know anymore I know I look high But I'm just free dancing I know I look hypnotized But I'm just table tapping 'Cause tonight we ain't gonna find our lovers Tonight we ain't gonna find our man We don't know where to go We know where to go We don't know what to do We know what to do We don't know where to go We know where to go We don't know anymore We don't know anymore
Rats One above Heaven under One for thirst One for hunger I am the dark You are the thunder I am the doubt You are the wonder Since time began You've been the long time man And mama ain't it grand That I get to be the fool again I get to be the fool again I close my eyes and I see you dancing Do you see me when you close yours too 'Cause every kiss that I don't give Is another life that I don't live And mama it's so much sweeter when I do, hey Love Is light ignited And everyone Is invited But if you don't ever try How can you give it one more try If you don't ever ever try How can you give it one more try Give it one more try I close my eyes and I see you dancing Do you see me when you close yours too 'Cause every kiss that we don't give is another life that we don't live And mama it's so much sweeter when we do Rats

Meet me at the Lookout Before the song Made the world we know Before kingdom come A story was told To not forget Or get caught in the wind A candle was lit That your father is in From lookout point Valley below The sun up on high The moon down on low I know My heart will find I know My heart will find you I know My heart will find I know My heart will find you We're drawn into The headless who knows A new name for you That nobody knows I know Your heart is here I know Your heart is hearing I know Your heart is here I know Your heart is hearing Walilamzi ( A song sung in the Pit River dialect )

Ma
Is This Nice Is this nice Do you like it, oh Would you like me to sing you this song It begins with a question, oh I just asked one and now I'll carry on Some days you're going to feel They'll never again be flowers Learning to count all the way up to love Is this real Do I mean it You know that I do I wanna be here really near I really wanna be here with you Waking up at the bottom of the morning With an ocean soaring over you Love's who you're thinking of When you see the moon above you And it's the middle of the day What will the baby be Someday smooches for its flower Now that Mommy's gone away The grass grows and grows The wind blows and blows My beautiful boy My beautiful boy Better to understand Than to be understood This is quite good This is quite good Ice floating above What will soon be all cloud Tear in your eye Yes this is allowed But you cannot give up Music yet to be made Must be you who's the bridge Must be you who's the bridge My beautiful boy My beautiful boy My beautiful boy My beautiful boy Kantori Ongaku It's getting too late To tell if it's too soon And the future's being born Right here in this room Press the button of world peace And wipe out everything but the moon Oh Kantori ongaku Shikata ga nai Like a flower on an east end block Living from groupie to groupie That's all the love that some of us known That's all the love some known All the death in my house Makes it easy to shop online Where the signal is strong And the tech flows like wine And I know you've traveled far But you still where you are Look out Kantori ongaku Shikata ga nai What's the loving I've made To the loving I lack I showed up at your wedding Hoping you would take me back 'Cause I was beautiful When you looked at me like that Look out Kantori ongaku Yononaka suimonosa Like a mummy, lived three thousand years Finally let a smile That's all the world that some of us known That's all the world some known Well, the older I get The less I fear anyone I see And little or more I fear humanity Well, you called me on the phone But you didn't, as if Look out Kantori ongaku Shikata ga nai Still there's no more beautiful pace And the moon light up your face And the moon light up your face And the moon light up your face And the moon light up your face
Ami I had a dream last night And now I wanna be a streetlight To guide your path each night Can you hear the wind chimes You'll be home in no time I know you don't believe That you'll heal in time But all I wanna see Is you standing head high Your mind's a loose end I can't tie Never mind... you know I'll always try... I saw you gently weep And now I wanna be a lion Curled up at your feet Something to rely on For now you've got to keep on playing even though Nobody comes to the show Someday this will all disappear So share your song while you're here And I'll be in the sunlight Ever near Memorial I wish you had been at your memorial Seeing someone proposing on stage I couldn't get through my song for you When it came to saying your name I can still see the room at the hospital Pretty painted tile I can still see your skin turning purple Milly of the Nile Can you hear me Did you mean it Did you plan it out Or was it an accident Time, time, up and down the blue screen It's dawn and I'm insane Love's just a word and not what the word means But I'll say it just the same Talking to an entity Made of endless night I dream in TV dialogue A world of shadow and light I know it don't work that way But maybe you'll come back someday I know it don't work like that But maybe you can take it back Now that there's no need to say a word Can I still make amends But silence, the only kindness I heard Forgiveness, the only revenge Meeting all of the people I've heard of from your past Reading through all of your letters Looking for your love You told me that love Is when someone asks you "Please leave me alone" And you really do You looked into my eyes Till I was your mother and son I tried to look away But saw you in every one I wish you had been at your memorial Seeing someone proposing on stage

25th Amendment (27: The Most Perfect Album LP) 1600 Washington D.C., that's where I am, oh no, poor me Even though I'm at the bottom of the list, oh Lord, I never wanted this So won't you please, please, pay attention To the following line of succession That's been in place since the 1700s till today It all began when the President had a sudden and total awakening that completely rearrange the state of heart And even worse the newly grown moral compass and a developing code of ethics they got into art And so out the White House they went And next came the Vice President who ate too much drywall After seeing Lincoln's ghost float oh so very disapprovingly down the hall And so the speaker of the House of Representatives prepared to leave But due to their old jobs' roles and responsibilities, they rarely spoke So ironically, when it came time to talk, they clammed up And so the President Pro Tempore of the Senate showed up But soon discovered ? and left the White House for the cup Look it up And so in came the Secretary of State, but a heart attack was their fate And so in came the Secretary of the Treasury But swiftly called it quits ten minutes they saw their fate And so the Secretary of Defense arrived It was a miracle that they survived After ingesting Jimson Weed with the Havasupai And as they rolled them out the joint the Attorney General they did appoint Whoopee But before they went to bed they self-immolated Didn't even bother turning out the light Aand so the Secretary of the Interior, though feeling morally superior, got caught that night On a dark website And so the Secretary of Agriculture became top brass But a heart attack at mass put him under the grass And so the Secretary of Commerce made their debut on Pennsylvania Avenue But after sniffing too much glue, not one more day could they get through, no And in came the Secretary of Labor But their time soon was done when they suggested a guaranteed income And so the secretary of Health and Human Services we chose But their willingness to expose the truth about UFOs, they did oppose And so the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development they did recruit But they read Beginner's Mind, became a monk and soon resigned before they got the boot And so the Secretary of Transportation we welcomed aboard But the subway stopped halfway and the service is yet to be restored, oh no And so the Secretary of Energy we did enlist But soon had to desist after the millionth scandalous tryst But it wasn't even that Somebody found their prayer mat, oh no And so in came the Secretary of Education But they showed up with a letter of resignation And so the Secretary of Veterans Affairs became Commander-In-Chief But the resulting HIV that not even TMS or EMDR or CBT could relieve the hyper-sensitivity And so naturally they had to go into recovery And so in came the Secretary of Homeland Security But after trying to explain that the matriarchy simply means equality It was all too scary, yet they had to set him free And roughly after three hundred and twenty three million people more were swallowed by D.C., it all fell on me Now that's a drag

London, London
( Caetano Veloso / Duet with Cibelle ) I'm wandering round and round nowhere to go I'm lonely in London London is lovely so I cross the streets without fear Everybody keeps the way clear I know, I know no one here to say hello I know they keep the way clear I am lonely in London without fear I'm wandering round and round here nowhere to go While my eyes Go looking for flying saucers in the sky Oh Sunday, Monday, Autumm pass by me And people hurry on so peacefully A group approaches a policeman He seems so pleased to pleace them It's glad to live at least and I agree He seems so pleased at least And it's so good to live in peace and Sunday, Monday, years and I agree I agree While my eyes Go looking for flying saucers in the sky While my eyes Go looking for flying saucers in the sky I choose no face to look at Choose no way I just happen to be here And it's ok Green grass, blue eyes, gray sky, God bless Silent pain and happiness I came around to say yes, and I say Green grass, blue eyes, gray sky, God bless Silent pain and happiness I came around to say yes, and I say But my eyes Go looking for flying saucers in the sky But my eyes Go looking for flying saucers in the sky
Now that i know Now that I know The way it goes You gotta pay back every penny that you owe Twelve years old In your mama's clothes Shut the blinds and lock up every door And if you hear Someone's comin near Just close your eyes and make them disappear now Years away Finds me here today On my own, always on my way now So I send my friends Gifts from where I've been Something for the hand they're never there to lend Better keep those eyes Climbing paradise And don't pretend you won't reach it in the end now Dearest dear I know you been here Why'd you run tell me why'd you disappear now That you're not Here with me Seems to be the only time that I can see you clearly I may not know How to treat or give you what you need But I am a gentleman who says what he means now And now I sing Upon my knees And praise the kindness of a gentle breeze I see it swell Like a story in me to tell Told years away and past my baby dying So you raise them up To heaven always hell they're unaware, share, give a hand to help son Oh you give them away But they'll come back to you someday Wanna know why nobody was ever there to help them And no it ain't fair And if God forbid you care It's enough to get you in a whole lotta trouble Oh realize It ain't wise to idealize Or put your life in the hands of any struggle Never renounce Or ever claim to be And never buy that freedom just ain't free now Ella sang Sifting in the sand Like a hymn within to help us understand Heaven awaits We're making our stand Glory bound and sparrow in our hand

* Carthusian Red is a monastery of the particularly austere Carthusian monastic order. Red Rook is a reference, I think, to the old Parker Brothers card game, Rook; most decks featured a picture of a bird on the front, and different sets of decks were colored, some red. 'I've got all my fives' because it makes since in context of the Rook: a five is the lowest scoring card in the game.

(7'' Split Single Devendra Banhart / Xiu Xiu 2005) Did you know you were going to shoot off The top of a four year old girl's head And look across her car-seat Down into her skull And see into her throat and did you know That her dad would say to you "Please Sir, can I take her body home?" Oh wait, you totally did know... That that would happen Cuz you're a jock who was Too stupid and too greedy And too unmotivated to do anything else But still be the biggest and still do What other people tell you to do You did it to still be a winner You shot your grenade launcher Into peoples windows and Into the doors of peoples houses Why should I care if you get killed

The Rose When I was a teardrop I fell from your eye All understanding Was waving goodbye Headshots of animal actors Sitting in noble display I'm picking up no vibrations But love's just a thank you away No way around it We've got to go, go Hiding in plain thought I miss you so I pay the big bucks to be told Money just ain't worth a thing Sitting in the fullness of silence She aches just like a human Walk like a flower Don't let me go Beautiful answer I'll never know I'll never know Greg runs through glass door in India It hurts to dance for a while Wearing a perfect "no fear" shirt I see them float down the Nile Lonesome connection What can I say A little sweetness Goes a long way Listening to reggae versions Of every Bob Marley song I gave up giving it all up Or looking for ground to stand on Would you forgive me For failing to Even consider Forgiving you Is it a kind of discipline To break my vows every night Heavens, a bloody magnolia Ever so graceful and bright Ever so graceful and bright (A movie) Set to a song A montage The day is done Ever so graceful and bright (A movie) Set to a song A montage Big changes A movie Set to a song A montage The day is done A movie Set to a song A montage Big changes A movie Set to a song A montage The day is done A movie Set to a song A montage Big changes

You Don't Know Me (Caetano Veloso cover / Feat. Blake Mills and Beverly Glenn-Copeland / Transa LP) Behind the wall... You don't know me Bet you'll never get to know me You don't know me at all Feel so lonely The world is spinning round slowly There's nothing you can show me From behind the wall Show me from behind the wall Show me from behind the wall Show me from behind the wall You don't know me Bet you'll never get to know me You don't know me at all Feel so lonely The world is spinning round slowly There's nothing you can show me From behind the wall Show me from behind the wall Show me from behind the wall Show me from behind the wall Come on and show me from behind the wall Show me from behind the wall Show me from behind the wall Nasci lá na Bahia De mucama com feitor O meu pai dormia em cama Minha mãe no pisador Laia, ladaia, sabatana, Ave Maria Laia, ladaia, sabatana, Ave Maria Laia, ladaia, sabatana, Ave Maria Laia, ladaia, sabatana, Ave Maria You don't know me Bet you'll never get to know me You don't know me at all Feel so lonely The world is spinning round slowly There's nothing you can show me From behind the wall Show me from behind the wall Come on and show me from behind the wall Show me from behind the wall... Rumi said "Why struggle to open a door between us When the whole wall is an illusion?" I am innocence, the fire of pure potential Where the sun rises upon horizon, open to me Be still, be shining as the winter sky I am forever your ally I will never forsake you
