  • This is the song used on the 2008 eco-friendly Toyota Prius commercial that so many are looking for. It's hard to find a copy of the cd. Does One Eskimo have a website? It doesn't come up in a google search.

  • If you guys haven't heard this singer before,it's none other then Kristian leontiou

    whose solo effort "someday soon" went gold with singles "story of my life" and a version of Tracey Chapmans "fast car" excellent cd great vocals

  • its my uncle...wut a legend...

  • wow this song is almost magical

  • ok see u soon!

    I love you! 9G

  • The people who animated this video graduated from my University a year or so ago, and they showed this to my class when we started Animation - it's awesome! And the song is beautiful :3

  • buenn video! (Y)

  • Heard this band a while ago, listened to it, loved it, forgot about it. Then when visiting the states once, I heard this song on a commercial and remembered how awesome they are.

  • This is my wake up alarm in the morning, LOVE IT xx

  • I dont like these stuff but...

    Repsect to all genres of music...

    ~Psychedelical~

  • Shadow, you are an idiot. /topic

    Personally I love it, it's soothing and poetic. The video as much as the song. And this is from a guy whose favorite bands include KoRn, Orgy, and Rob Zombie...

    Like it for what it is.

  • nice

  • I love this video!!! The song is great too

  • wicked kris luv it roll on v festival!!!

  • ESKIMOFO PRIDE!

  • I love da soooooong! and the vid :p

  • have to say wow again.. After listening to it all day- I feel it. What a track. Compare it to all you want, but really, it is unique. I feel it as much as i hear it. As music should be...

    b

  • wow.

  • kristian Leontiou was a legendary artist, he then dissapeared. now hes back with an amazing band and an amazing song :)

  • thank so much for the lyrics, i had some trouble with the "ferris wheel" and "message" part, greetings from Peru

  • yes , my sn is eskimosurferdreamer, but i didnt make it in response to this band, but i still simply love this song because of the connection =]... and this song has a very deep meaning, i can connect it to a religious meaning but some might get offended, idk how but eh, just enjoy the song

  • sry, thats not all in one post, theres a limit but hey i got them anyways... and it took sometime comparing the words but i finally got them, i think, repost parts that i misheard, thnx, and enjoy

  • Picture me in a boat on the sea Five fingered leaves keep covering me Don't you know that the big Ferris wheel is eventually, stalling I see you, I see the animals too Especially those that are out of the zoo They look just like me And a lot like everybody And if we're lucky We might see the end of the day completely Collect all your things 'cause its, Home-Time C'mon Collect all your things 'cause its, Home-Time
  • People walking on top of the sea But this time it doesn't matter to me 'Cause I've got these magical seeds And the trees are still growing Stone throwing, I've got nothing to do I only hope that I got the message to you 'Cause if we're lucky We might see the end of the world completely And if we do then I hope that its you Waiting there to meet me Collect all your things 'cause its, Home-Time C'mon Collect all your things 'cause its, Home-Time C'mon Collect all your things 'cause its, Home-Time
  • (Trumpet Solo)

    Collect all your things 'cause its, Home-Time

    C'mon

    Collect all your things 'cause its, Home-Time

    C'mon

    Collect all your things 'cause its, Home-Time

    C'mon

    Collect all your things 'cause its, Home-Time

    /watch?v=C6yDNfHaoYA

  • LOVE it!

  • Amazing song and video. I always wondered what happened to Kristian Leontiou. Hope this band has a hugely successful future.

  • omg this is so awsome! i dont know why it hasnt become more popular already ;)) .. maybe after the album is released..

  • The single is available via ITunes now. The album will be released later this year. More updates to follow.

  • nice little tune, never heard of the band like. anyone know if an album is available or due to be released?

  • What chart position did this reach?

  • I love how this is original in its own way and it's even somewhat profound. I love the mellow singing here.

  • es simplemente hermoso

  • dreamy...

  • Sublime, wonderful, fantastic. I can't believe that at the start of december this video didn't exist and now it does (I was told about it at Pauls birthday do by Linda).

  • excellent song, when the cd came out? or is it only available on Itunes??

  • this song leaves me in a pleasant trance-like state. it conjures up the holiday spirit but without the crass commercialism. well done!

  • Line Line number nine

    Monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line

    Line broke

    Monkey got choked

    They all went to heaven in a little row boat.

  • If you think about it the video and song are really rather sad...

    But I still love it :)

  • Beautiful.

  • wow, this is amazing! Really chilled out and superb video. I love it!

  • Top tune...lurvly!

    Keep up the good work.

  • the christmas factor amuses me with this song, i think with the right backing (scott mills) this song could go a long way because it has that peacefull chilled out pop nature about it that sounds really easy to like.

  • what's the song?

  • I came across this by accident and LOVED it!!! It's such a delicate and pretty song! I love the little animation too! :)

    I agree with SambaDisaWinner, though:
