Koala's Lament

[youshafu]

THIS SONG REPLAYS IN MY MIND ALL THE TIME. WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT I FELL IN LOVE WITH A SONG.

[joaon99]

Where's the "One, one, two, two, three, three, four, four" sample from?

[joaon99]

@joaon99 Is it Milk feat Ad Rock?

[BreizhWaren29]

the scratch sounds great !

[fjsidebar]

genious.

[roscoegino]

amazing use of bettina.  far superior to tribe's chop.

[Te3k]

Yo, Warlocks from Norway used this sample, too! Song title is "Beautiful Girls". It's one of the best tracks off their latest album....

[porgy29]

Kid Koala has to be one of the most musical DJ's out their. Most are just about technique and rhythm, which is fine, but he really uses the tables as a completely different type of instrument.

[DagmaraJDK]

very interesting climate :) I like it !

[faintmelody]

look up A Tribe Called Quest - 8 million stories ... they used the same sample :) i love both songs.

[patterzs]

That's whats up Kid Koala

[jordanmarcus]

wow it wasnt even that long ago... but this song makes me nostalgic. 5*

[Videogenius7]

Damn awesome song.

[ItsAroundMidnight]

anyone no if kid is featuring in this with dan? i dont no anyone who scratchs like that besides koala

[AiightSon]

Did you really ask that about a track titled 'Koala's Lament'?

[Kage505]

Yeah the album includes work from artists such as the almighty Kid Koala, Damon Alburn from the Gorillaz, and a few other said post artists. beautiful sounds for sure and a classic album indeed.

[TheAceRaven]

[oooo1232489]

[SanctuaryOfDissent]

[SanctuaryOfDissent]

"He barely managed to say I love you before she shut the door... and he never saw her again...

[bellcapn]

You could actually make a movie to this album cuz itz very moody. It has it's highs and lows and in betweens. Its like a soundtrack from yesteryear. I think I will go ahead and try it. Make a flick w/ this album as the background drop a la Scorsese, DePalma, Tarantino etc..

[Videogenius7]

@bellcapn OMG!!! I always think the same thing when I hear this song!!! When I become a director, I will def try to use it! (If I can get the rights, lol)

[beats4beasts]

sample used: Bola Sete - Bettina

[refrans]

es verdad tiene algunos acordes del tema

"There For You" de damian marley

[snedge45]

1 1 2 2 3 3

[pjlk00]

go!

[siriuslydranged]

...and he never saw her again.

[cafehc]

this song is a remix of the song "There For You" from damian marley! ;)

they are both very good

lovage rocks my world!

[siriuslydranged]

Lovage's album was released in 2001 while Marley's "There For you" was released in 2005.

[cafehc]

that's true...

do you think that marley 'stole' the sample or whatever or asked for it???

or perhaps DJ Koala from Lovage has some sort of connection with Damian Marley??

At least I don't know who is marley's DJ...

all I know is that theyare both the 'same' song...

tell me what you think!

[siriuslydranged]

I don't know. I was comparing the two there is a similarity in rhythm and the drama of the voice--the woman's-- but I can't really say they're alike.

[valkyrio]

They're not the exact same song. I can't hear how they'd both be alike, but I do hear the same type of mood.

Also there are other songs in the album that aren't originals (like Sex(I'm a)) which is by Berlin

[SapphireDragon83]

good stuff, ty for postin'......

[fluffybagels]

This song just makes me think of desperation, love, and the angst that follows it all. It just reminds me of all the passionate times I've spent with someone I have truly loved, staring into their eyes wishing moments to last forever. How no matter how bad life can be those few moments you've shared are all that truly mattered. Feel me anyone...?

[jimameh]

Just so true...you can just sit back...and just remember those moments where nothing else in the world has mattered. Just breath in and out...and rememebr....thats what livings all about

[fluffybagels]

I totally fucking agree. Our love is what keeps us going, and our pursuit of something better... something beautiful. The moment we have waited for our entire lives that will give us the wings to soar out into our deepest true desires. The wind will carry me there someday where trees never grow old and love never fades away. Someplace warm where the air smells of gardens and the breeze feeds my ambitions. Everything tastes of honey and tears have faded away.

[daspare1]

Woah, woah, lower your feet back to the ground, Wordsworth. You're losing realism and rationality with that mumbo jumbo. Everything in moderation, yes?

[PeachyRamune]

Ha ha, I agree. To me this entire album is about the romance of a casual encounter, because nothing is more romantic than lust, IMO.

[Sherio88]

meh, songs great, love's not all that great haha sex is better!

[Anihilist]

@Sherio88 I understand that ha

[mcemij]

AMEN

[1upgamer]

Amazing song, I cant help sitting here and scratchin along to it.
