'Devendra Banhart'- he was brought up in Venezuela and America, he ran off to Europe to play music and then came back. With profound lyrics and S&G's voice clubbed into one, this man is quite brilliant, very moody songs and a joy to listen to.
He is not INDIAN!

i was once in a room with 13 people.
all but one played an instrument,
I wait for it to happen again
but im afraid next time ill be the one.

Always Now

No day, no night
No today, no tomorrow
For it is Always Now.

Nobody but me

How I wish to know

That two lifetimes ago

Would I be destined for greatness?

With the things I now know

Even If I did

How would I know?

Sounds unrealized in this bedlam

Lost far away

The nights and the hours they stem

As the tune goes astray

People far behind in the cue

Wallowing as they always do

Around them a fake happy hue

Their ignorance is surely untrue

While the paths in my mind they grew

I could finally ask who are you.

Are you the one that never shows

Even if you are

How would I know?

Sometimes i see reflections of me

But which is the one that i want to be

Waiting somewhere to set me free

Open my eyes and let me see

And a song thats runs through my head

as i toss and turn in bed

left behind they are all ahead

no looking back, no words are said

Everything if i could rearrange

no matter how different, no matter how strange

and you may think i am deranged

but the music is one thing, that still hasnt changed

And that is the reason ill never be the same.

Mr. Schizo

Let’s start with a magic trick

One that you have never seen

Ill Make this pencil disappear

If you know what I mean

Guns ruin all the emotion

To fast to sudden whenever iv tried

And this one time when I tried with a knife

I saw the person inside

I don’t follow plans

I’m like a dog chasing a car

Never knowing what to do

If actually got that far

Is it money or is fame

Which one do I yearn?

But there are some men

Who just want to see the world burn.

Bird song

Little bird sitting on the wire

Looking at the world being set a fire

Never going down to that place

Never waiting for someone’s grace

Little bird ooh my little bird

Don’t get fooled again

Fly away as far as you can

And please don’t trust the man

Little bird you will find you way

In this chaos and anarchy

Don’t call for help they are all astray

In the shadows hiding away

And if you clip your wing

And none is listening

To the song you sing

Raise your voice

And be heard !!!

If I knew

If I knew why the sky is blue

If I knew what’s in my head

If I knew the secret

If I knew every sound

If I knew that this is it

If knew I would be a better man

If I knew that you are there

If I knew the skill

If I knew what is right

If I knew that I could care

If I knew my own weakness

If I knew I would be a better man

If I knew the way out

If I knew how to run

If I knew how to talk

If I knew the way it works

If I knew I can win this race

If I knew I would be a better man

Sleep to her promises and wake to your sorrow

for we sail out to-morrow !

ON/OFF

the yellow bulb
flickers
shine on
a spider hanging by the edge
makes home there
the metal dies
no more light.

BOY

There was a boy, a little boy

His name I cannot speak

He was confused a little dazed

Though his name is cannot speak

He loved his mum she loved him too

His name with love she would speak

She let him play and have fun all day

Never wanting him to go away

But a day came the little boy grew up

It was to leave home

He packed his stuff in a sack

Stepped out of the door and never looked back

Mesmerized by the world around

The boy got lost in what he found

All grown up, he was by himself

All things passed stacked on the shelf

He figured himself out

But there was more to come

An illusion in front him

Confusing mysterious dim

Dense as fog

Hard as iron

Sensitive as mercury

He pondered, the boy

Whose name I cannot speak

Let it be, let it be

Why don’t you already

Left hanging

He was enjoying it

Like a high

The nameless BOY

FLY

Let's fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun

the world isnt for me:

blood transfusion
revolution
satellites on mars
man became the spawn of satan
driving around in cars

i read the news but the news didnt fascinate
i stayed at home and watched the media attackcular

this is the age of decay and hypocrisy
sometimes i feel the world isnt really for me

everytime i turn a microscopic worm is causing me an itch
dressed in robes of cosmic ego, crawling around in capes

i read the news but the news didnt fascinate
i stayed at home and watched the media attackcular

this is the age of decay and hypocrisy
sometimes i feel the world isnt really for me

2007-05-23T09:14:00.000-07:00

This is some of the old stuff I wrote.....
as I discovered that I could write, I was so fascinated by wat I wrote I got stuck to the same kind of topics... as u will read on, u will realize that I had taken the idea of "wat our purpose in life is" or "why we are here" or probably "wat the answer to the universe is" a little to seriously... still these are of some value to me......

TROUBLED STREET

I hold in my hand my shattered & broken dreams
this nightmare wont end soon that’s the way it seems
I lied once to hide the truth
but then these lies grew
I ran outta luck that’s wat I think
im in quicksand the harder I try the more I sink
no one can save me not even god
cause a miracle happens for the special not the odd
I wish I was numb from my head too my feet
so I wouldn’t feel a thing as I walked through troubled street

as I walk through troubled street
as I walk through troubled street

so go back where you came from, im warning you now
for you cant get outta here, even god doesn’t know how

as I walk through troubled street
as I walk through troubled street

don’t wanna stay here any more
cant live here anymore
grab my hand or pull my feet
just get me out of troubled street

DONT COME KNOCKING

Thought I knew myself very well
realised I knew nothing at all
no one to tell me the answer
& even god said

don’t come knocking at my door
like you done a 1000 times before
I aint gonna help you anymore
ull find the ans inside of ur soul

he left me confused left me thinking
I had a hangover without drinking
someone plz tell me who I am
but then the voice said

don’t come knocking at my door
like you done a 1000 times before
I aint gonna help you anymore
ull find the ans inside of ur soul

Need to find the ans some way somehow
god wont help me where do I go now
but then suddenly I realised
that id looked everywhere, but forgot my inside

so I wont come knocking anymore
forget a 1000 not even once more
wont take help like I did before
I found the ans inside of my soul

LIFE

This circle of life that goes around
it engulfs us & to which we are bound
there is no escaping it no one knows how
for life is a play only on death can we bow

no one knows wat lies behind these closed eyes
my beliefs, my hate, my love, my truth, my lies
never shared are my thoughts, never told are my feelings
never seen are my dreams, never known is my fate
never written is my destiny, never certain is my end

And god the mighty playwright who sits up there
& Lucifer who gives us the scare
two places to go but none can you choose
for it is up to them that you win or you loose

the history of life remains the same
we come we see we go away
its the same old story nothing has changed
but do we really need change isn’t this sufficient
but it is not life that will change, it is you who has to be different
