Jonsi & Nico Muhly - Boy Lilikoi

[TripleSeven]

Amazing album from an amazing artist.

This is a "live" version video, included with the album, the album versions are epic. Recommended purchase if you are looking for something magic and different.

I want to be a lilikoi boy lilikoi
You grind your claws, you howl growl
Unafraid of all colour
You run, you're free, you climb and dress trees
You reignite
You growl, you howl, you show your teeth
You bite, it's alright

Say no more, use your eyes
The world goes and flutters by
Use your eyes, you'll know you are
Use your eyes, the world goes and flutters by
Use your eyes, you'll know you are

Why me, my boy, you burn so bright
Do you illuminate?
One day you're out, you give up the fight
You slow down heart-rate

We all grow old, use your life
The world goes and flutters by
Use your life, you'll know you are
Use your life, the world goes and flutters by
Use your life, you'll know you are

Electricity wires are down
Rainbow colours fade into brown
I dreamt you were smiling, shifting for good
Courageous boy, now you are gone
And run past the years, no place to go
Your spirit is grand, so life goes on
You are
You are

I want to be a lilikoi-boy ooooh
You grind your claws, you howl, you growl
Unafraid of all colour anekatips.com

Electricity wires are down
Rainbow colours fade into brown
I dreamt you were smiling, shifting for good
Courageous boy, now you are gone
You run past the years, no place to go
Your spirit is grand, so life goes on
You are ..
You are ..

Great song eh. This video does no justice to the album versions, in fact. Album is called "Go". The better songs to check out are "Tornado" and "Kolnidur".

To be honest, the first time I heard Jonsi I was turned off and shut it off quick. Then I came back with an open mind and found an amazing artist (he's from Sigur Ros).
