[boxanova66]

My flesh sings out!... that's the song brah...fucking lyrics, damn man I fucking love you!

[alberts1985]

Between air-conditioning and the pope, I'll take air-conditioning.

[MrHefferlumps]

Lovely. Just lovely. All his music is so interesting, serene and brilliant. Love Devendra.

[ilikecoloredfish]

If everyone in the world was this awesome, i'd probably just love my life always.

[PeaceboneGotFound]

@ilikecoloredfish You be one, and I'll be one, and Devendra already is, and we'll start a revolution.

I discovered Devendra Banhart just last night and I instalty loved the way he sounds. I've been looking around youtube for some of his songs and this one and Wake up little sparrow and My Dearest Friend are my favorites so far

[MrAdamski21]

@darthsarth try tonda yananomainista

[strangefamousjuggalo]

This guy is just awesome

[GogolEugene]

bleah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! lolololololol



[infinitecanvas11]

the lyrics are profoundly beautiful. I totally am going through some aching of my own :( But instead of dreading about it, I am trying to see the beauty in the experience.. cuz even in tragedy there's beauty :)

[knoxrox167]

i'm not gonna lie, after i first heard this single song, everything changed.

[pompeypirate]

Just heard he's supporting Arcade Fire at the O2 in London in December, to which I'm going [when tickets arrive, eh Ticketmaster...]

His is not the type of music I'd normally go for but he's got talent and I'm looking forward to seeing him live.

[yamanmusic]

I only knew the cd version of this...from which album is this version ?

[seawoodology]

I love him and wished i could have the opportunity to meet him.<3

[ayalandrea]

man I just discover his music today. Im so happpyyyyyyyyyyyy!

[manolitohh]

...beautiful voice...he sounds a little bit like antony hegarty...and the share the same kind of artistic talent, i guess..

[bamdaad]

kheili ghashange

that is persian and it means: this is very beautiful!

[tuneless7melody]

Good artist, unique music, he looks a little like Charles Manson

[MrAdog13]

@tuneless7melody charles manson is a legend.

[BuenoPurpleNinja]

@MrAdog13 the fuck?

[jizzy0801]

@BuenoPurpleNinja my hommies right charles manson is tight

[MagicTGman]

Man I'm pissed that they took down one of the live versions of this song. What the fuck? Studio version is here but the live version is gone? It was wonderfully done!

[Vannn67]

such wonderful guitar work with a unique and beautiful voice. love this man - also his hair and beard.

[freddytherubberducky]

OMG I LOVE HIM!!!! musicwise

[Narmi417]

amazing.

[diddlydoodaa07]

My absolute favorite from Banhart. I don't know how he does it, but he simply makes my heart feel good. oh I love it!

[1Veetnisha]

One of my favorites songs from Devendra: so perfect and poetic- like a beautiful flower that smells dolce with a taste of eternal sadness and longing...soooo cool! WOW! <3

[yumpladukfoo]

This guy is amazing, I saw him in NYC at "Other Music" promoting his first album, 200 people jammed in a music store to see him play. I feel lucky to have been there.

[sophieangeli]

oh my god!it's such a sexy and loving song!guys that dislike devandra and his kind just have a very pop idia for the things around em....and influenses from tv shows and other incultural stuff like these..meaningless fashionable stuff that get in the charts.if it wasn't for these guys geting excited whith grotescque crapy stuff ,music industry would be much more poor than now...but peoples souls would be fuller...!

[opulentsounds]

i like this guy's music...

[Rockdrigo0]

I dont get how this guy has so many haters really... what the fuck? I mean if you say he makes lots of money with crappy music then go hate on Miley Cyrus or idk wtf and if you say hes too popular and this is not really art then go hate on Twilight dudes what the fuck.

This is amazing btw.

[shannonenderle]

They broke up a year ago!

[cronopius002]

Thanks Devendra!

[LeTravisty]

I'm pretty sure this song is in Eagle vs. Shark. Awesome movie, lovely song.

[KurdtCobaine]

What a typical chick question, but quite out their for someone as mellow as me, is he single? I think he is very pretty.

[Sanok2206]

No he's dating nathalie Portman.

[laka87mdjd]

@Sanok2206

i hate him just for that :)

[sgalloberklee]

hhahaa, there is one melodic embellishment on the guitar which has the same pitch-sliding as the intro to "Pancakes For One" by of Montreal...from the amazing Aldhils Arboretum record.

"EddiRamone" caught on to it, too (and commented below).

[ThickStew]

man! this is really goood! i rarely stumble over something this shiny!

[OriginalJesus]

I love the people who come here and hate on this guy, as if they have ever written or done anything even remotely this interesting.

[tEsveld]

@OriginalJesus i suport you 99%! the 1% is that they could actually have written something interesting.

Fuck yeah Dev!

Love

[needleinthehay331]

I think that's a little harsh. His guitar certainly isn't impressive but it's very calming. You don't think so?

[EddiRamone]

@needleinthehay331

listen to the song "pancakes for one" of montreal

D:

[tinachina87]

dont know if you play guitar... but if you'd do you'll know that he's playing a classic/spanish guitar... if you dont find it impressive its because you have no idea about classic guitars. The fact, is that with a classic guitar you get a warmer sound than with an electric. But they're two different instruments. I play de spanish guitar and i can say he plays pretty well.

[needleinthehay331]

Plus his lyrics are intriguing. Again not impressive but you have to look at it as part of the whole experience. Jim Morrison's lyrics blew, but the way he sang them was memorable

[MrRottenryan]

this version is awesome,alot differnt for sure!!

[Shortstacklover]

That's not the album version...where is it from ?

[Orthored]

so cheerful

[iamjoedubois]

this is the second coming of bob dylan, man!

woah, he's awesome.

[dm4003]

no to the first sentence. yes to the second sentence.

[VintageKitten57]

he's talented. that's all! he's using his gift. devandra rocks!

[LovEchoes]

@VintageKitten57  Meow!

[andseibel]

Devendra é o cara!

[JukemDrawles89]

JakesToons hes not speaking spanish you stupid child

[toffelinator]

lol jakestoons wrote what he wrote in french not spanish.

[milie210788]

Devendra Banhart est tout simplement génial , cette chanson prouve à quel point .

[fightclub223]

He is clearly speaking french, not spanish.

Here is a translation:

Devendra Banhart is simply brilliant, this song proves to what extent

[JakesToons]

vous êtes très mignon, nous devrions avoir des relations sexuelles parfois

:)

[alucardlubu]

calla pendejo

[Colargoletta]

[daViSHItou]

wuenO es Ke dioz es tan beia sta Muzik ke es Lo ke Skusho jaaa

[amorflor]

tem algo na musica do devendra que é mais forte que eu, como vontade de chorar

[cyntiasuzy]

Tenho muitas coisas pra dizer sobre essa musica que nao cabe aqui.O jardim ,as aguas,the body apprehend!

[plopnod]

he beat me in an armwrestle once.he is stronger than he looks

[paolomanueldec]

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

[paolomanueldec]

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 honey come put me out

[paolomanueldec]

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

[bepositiveok]

i'm really becoming a big fan of devendra banhart. i like every song i find.

[Sunnsunn]

but I'm American, what do you expect?

Anybody know where I could find them?

[willlliw]

[ThisIsNotMia]

Hey, how about you try that.

You think I'd post a comment asking that before googling it?

Smart ass.

[willlliw]

i'm not trying to be mean...google "the body breaks lyrics"

[makeupisugly]
