[Flying Lotus] Unexpected Delight

[DyingToReach]

this is a song i know i'll be listening to for the rest of my life, so chill...

[Gualz08]

Sampled off Tito Puente - Call Of The Jungle Birds

[AnimeFoxxx]

Now i know what song to lap dance to for my boyfriend. Flying Lotus is beyond amazing. ;D

[VioletLight13]

made a connection on a connecting flight / a window seat had unexpected delight / business turned pleasure with a chance meeting / our encounter was epic but fleeting / a lifetime together in one night's rendezvous / we swore to keep in touch but didn't follow through / I often wonder what could have been / in another what, where and when

[1SoldierofPeace]

3 years later and not one dislike....this is true legitness

[PolarBearBlue]

@realcloak I had to replay this song again after reading your story. I can understand who much this artist, nay, this song means to you. I truly hope things in your life are going well.

[BoondocksRuckus]

@realcloak lol u have more likes than the video, and im sorry about Grandmother.

[tequillaroze7]

YO !! type in [ EAT PRAY LOVE & RHYME ] that [ FLYING LOTUS ] sh*t..goes hard & [ ROZE ] spits nice !!

[Mrzombiepigman]

@realcloak maybe she recognized the sample song, could be quite old, ya never know.

[Arahan9]

a def mood booster,, stronger than ecstacy

[Shuey187]

It's a nice remake, but he wouldn't have this great track if it weren't for the man who first wrote it: Tito Puente - Call of the Jungle Birds

[Unfammilliar]

This song just makes me think of everything bad thats happened, and how to find the good in it. Make it a growing experience, not mutilation. Thank You FlyLo.

[ModeerFehT]

My girlfriend of 14 months and I separated last week and this was the first song I went to listen to, it cheered me up and made me think things through I hadn't in the past about our relationship, and now we are back together. Thanks so much Steven Ellison AKA Flying Lotus.

[LIGHTRONIX]

That's probably the ugliest album artwork I have ever seen.

[Zunesrthebest]

Who's the singer? She sounds like the Trish from Broadcast (R.I.P.)

[HiddenMistAssassin15]

My Girlfriend didn't like Flying Lotus...I no longer have a Girlfriend

[DyingToReach]

@HiddenMistAssassin15 that sucks. im trying to get mine to like him aha

[amazinero]

@HiddenMistAssassin15 . I'm surprised you didn't kill her.

[Swansen03]

@amazinero woah man, i don't think Flying Lotus would approve of death in his name. i mean, i don't want you to feel guilty but, you know, lil over the top brother. :) but, tis all good

[amazinero]

@Swansen03 . I guess I did get a little . . .emotional.

Peace!

[squillysk8]

I've heard this song in many vivid lucid dreams. It is amazing.

[Gotalighter]

[MissAshPYT]

This song just melted me.

[beantownn54]

@realcloak amazing how you have 91 thumbs up for this post :)

[amazinero]

@beantownn54 . I guess that's 'cause most people are left in an ethereal stupor after hearing the tune. They just plain forget to thumbs up.

[beantownn54]

This is the most beautiful piece ever!!!!!

[glowingcity]

im not sure what inspires him to make this music...but im almost positive that when he puts it down, angels are guiding his fingers on the equipment.

[Spud388]

Ahhhhhhh where can I find more songs like this?

[408crow]

[408crow]

[Cygnus224]

Titio Puente sample, ripped the perc right off

[MottsGurl22]

"Made a connection on a connecting flight, and when we're seated...unexpected delight" !!

[jarebear909]

this song should have been called super expected delight...cuz who doesnt expect to be delighted when they play a flylo song???? sure not me

[OffreMike]

Check out how Jazz Liberatorz flipped the track (it features Buckshot from Blackmoon rapping over the beat)

[tigga2425]

[JayyTheAfro]

@realcloak flylo makes music from and for the soul

[2482sherman]

[Magestrix]

I can feel tears swelling up in my eyes. This is simply a wonderful blend of voice, melody, and....I just can't say. It's simply one of the best mood setters I've ever listened to.

[Stonefactor]

@realcloak That is touching and inspiring.

[Sadsic]

everything except for the vocals are sampled from a tito puente song

[CGW420]

@Sadsic whats the name of the tito puente track?

[PosDma]

[DomincanXpanther]

@realcloak aaaawwww

[Sabored]

It's not even like this song is that complicated, it's just so well put together that it's amazing, all of the reverberation, loops, and tuning compliment each other perfectly

[D35173BL4CK]

OH MY GOD. My brain just gurgled and my ears are enjoying this piece of musical masturbation!

[AgileMuffin]

[jaydeybugz]

[generalHON]

[TsukiSoraShakai]

T~T S-So Frekn beautiful...

[rioshinx]

[rioshinx]

@TheRDiz :P y so serious

[TheJalapeno]

Simple and brilliant.

[snifflesofdeath]

yummy........ sounds like stereo lab vocal stem

[sadziom]

Mrs. Deadelus is an AWESOME singer.

[xriraito]

made a connection on a connecting flight fly with no seatbelt (?) unexpected delight business transgression with a chance meeting (?) (? these parts are so indiscernible it drives me crazy) a lifetime together in one night's rendezvous we swore to keep in touch but didn't follow through i often wonder what could have been in another what, where, and when

[godisanapple]

@xriraito i think the " business transgression" part is actually "business and pleasure" or "business to pleasure, with a chance meeting"

i'm kind of partial to the latter.

ill see about the rest of the song.

[xriraito]

@godisanapple "business turned pleasure," that's what i'm hearing now.

[godisanapple]

@xriraito you're right

[faggottrain]

@xriraito i think the first part goes more like we made a connection on a connecting flight the window seat held unexpected delight business turned pleasure with a chance meeting our encounter (?) the rest I agree with, its so hard to understand what she's saying in that part

[xriraito]

@faggottrain yes! that sounds a lot better.

[clairherwitz1986]

oh my god.............

[OoOSUAVEOoO]

Such a whimsical and lovely piece :) Reminds me of a Brazilian day or Havana night in the 1950's

[dfmitchell21]

this song makes me feel like im on a camel smokin a blunt

[Dreal05starnation]

@dfmitchell21 lol i feeel u lolol

[TheDillaDonuts]

Does anyone know all the lyrics? There are a few sections I just can't make out.

[SknkH0electro]

love the samples!

[themawbear]

When this played on my ipod for the first time my first thought was "this is by far one of the most unexpected gems I have ever found on the face of this world. PERIOD!"

[ssstephenssskates]

sounds like the girl from the band Broadcast singing

[sheatheman]

@ssstephenssskates probably is.

[yancha81]

<3 it!

[tstabled]

This Is My Fave Song

T

[grlblu73]

Oh this is NICE!

[tstabled]

Wat is The Sample called

T

[puretroubleman]

read all the comments, someone pointed out the sample used.

[gedbeat15]

I love this song, i listen to it almost every night before i go to sleep. this is gonna be a lullaby for when i have kids. haha

[beantown54]

is the beat from a sample or did flylo just create it??

[puretroubleman]

I'd imagine most of this tune was sampled except the vocals and accordion

[Bagmen3]

Does anyone know what the lyrics are?

[Sabored]

I've gotta tell you, I've listened to this song plenty of times, and i still get goosebumps every time,...

[SCHMOOVNESS]

because rating is irrelevant!^^

[ReaziAzevedo]

Well..that's just like....your opinion....man, Nothing is irrelevant. ^^

[boutmyskrilla]

Ok now I need to some trees and to play this over and over.

[MonoDde]

Are the vocals samples from Astrud Gilberto? Sounds a lot like her.

[MikeMunday222]

no sample its laura darlington singing, i think theres a slight delay or reverse effect on her voice. very abstract voice tho.

[MonoDde]

Ahh okay thanks.

[kierrasaysidgaf]

this really was unexpected delight. i should have expected it though, flylo is amazing <3

[DCSOSIC]

hot very hot indeed

[beantown54]

[SoulSurvivor34]

Astounding.. Unexpected, indeed..

[melncholidolli]

unexpected delight it is!!! didn't thnk it would capture me the way it did. beautiful piece. FLYING LOTUS is an instrumental genius

[Mannex17]

[Majajoynes]

[Mannex17]

[Moonanite]

Wow! How did you find that one? Or did you just recall the tune?

[MikeMunday222]

[knockoutguitarist087]

[brokeinvestor]

I agree, this has got to be one of the best songs I have ever heard. Perfect in every way. I would imagine it as a stroll in the 50s. It truly was an unexpected delight to hear this song for the first time.

[Grant112988]

Someone's going to need to come find me...... because I do believe I've gone and lost myself in this amazing music.

[tigerdreams]

man talk about a song you can deeply lose yourself in!!!this is it

[fatsunnyfam]

does anyone know the lyrics to this song?

[rtoriq]

Am i the only one who thinks this reminds of them of Stevie Wonder's "Send One Your Love"?

--------------------

[kidagent000]

like if you had a 16 gig ipod and just put this song on it so it can repeat its self

[Endtroducing85]

Oh my days!!!! This is something righteous for the soul. The best 3:26 of my day.

[Misaaq13]

[Mun0z387]

Somebody should do an orchestral cover of this or something. haha that would be sick

Beautiful !

[DarkAndMartyr]

turn the ratings on man, we want to compliment!!!

[grimmdoom]

it kind of sounds like a song from the legend of zelda ocarina of time or something lol tight.

[Bebbar]

god damn I thought I was the only one who got that vibe.

Kinda like kid Link wondering about trying to make sense out of a mundane town.

[grimmdoom]

yup just walking in the town during the day time, powerful track

[GoingGREEN1]

I love Flying Lotus!

[garoad]

This song puts me right into a trance.

[spaaske]

One of the best songs I've ever heard.

Does anyone know where the background sample comes from? Sounds Indonesian for some reason. Would really like to know :)

[PreWarMusic]

Vocals are by laura Darlington, look up "the Long Lost" she has an album coming out with Daedelus on march 3rd. Vocals probably made for this track speciffically rather than sampled from another.
