Song: Rats
Track#: 9
Release Date: October 27, 2009
Composer/Writer: Devendra Banhart


This is an amazing epic song that feels like was written in the 60's 70's easily.

UPDATE 8/25/2012

If you hear a difference in the tone that's a minor tweak in the pitch to fool WMG (Waner Music Group, notorious for their censorship), but they found the songs ID tag anyway, as you can see the iTunes link below to buy the album, and they aren't so hard on users from uploading copyrighted songs as much anymore, just music videos or full length movies or games with music in them popular or not, they've done it in most of my videos. Strangely enough when WMG made a multi-year deal with youtube in 2009, WMG still deleted videos and took down songs and from other sites as well. There is no apparent solution. It's not about sharing revenue with each other it's about WMG wanting full control over everything that has to do with music. Not only that, WMG was even a supporter for the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), which makes no sense because that act was for government use as well; for total cyber surveillance pertaining of terrorist or pirating activity, while helping the mega media corporations at the same time. Just be careful and do it at your own risk when uploading copyrighted material, who knows what could happen.

-LYRICS-

"One above
Heaven under
One for thirst
One for hunger

I am the dark
You are the thunder
I am the doubt
You are the wonder

Since time began
You've been the long time man
And mama ain't it grand
That I get to be the fool again
I get to be the fool again

I close my eyes and I see you dancing
Do you see me when you close yours too
'Cause every kiss that I don't give
Is another life that I don't live
And mama it's so much sweeter when I do, hey

Love
Is light ignited
And everyone
Is invited

But if you don't ever try
How can you give it one more try
If you don't ever ever try
How can you give it one more try
Give it one more try

I close my eyes and I see you dancing
Do you see me when you close yours too
'Cause every kiss that we don't give is another life that we don't live
And mama it's so much sweeter when we do

.....Rats"

This is not in anyway "Copyright Infringement"
I am not selling this or making any kind of profit off this video/song.
I don't own this video/song.
I am also not labeling this video as my own.
I only uploaded this video/song for the liking of the song for personal desire to share with everyone on the site. Fill free to copy this video or song and spread it around.

On a side note, due to the videos attention which I find awesome, ads have found their way to this video. If I can remove them I would, but since that's how youtube and other corporations make their money there's not much I can do. The reason why I mention this is because I loathe forced commercialism especially on videos you upload after they get "hits" or Viacom and Warner Bros Records just finds and matches the songs ID tag for copyright purposes. Music or films loose their artistic merit when drenched in pointless irrelevant advertising (yeah I'm looking at you VEVO) and it doesn't matter if the user, musician, filmmaker, or blogger likes it or not the ads must be prevalent to desensitize the masses and subsidize the greedy. I digress, my whole spiel and point is -- Music shouldn't be about the money.
