alt-J - Buffalo Lyrics






Breathe on me my buffalo
Your eye warms to a warning
Of a death without words

I am ill
After swallowing cups of pride
Inside it paints me
With the bitterness I loathe
For the future tributes
Of Thom Sonny Green

Breathe on me my buffalo
Your eye warms to a warning
Of a death without words
I am ill
After swallowing cups of pride
Inside it paints me
With the bitterness I loathe
For the future tributes
Of Thom Sonny Green

The buffalo from buffalo
Who are buffaloed by the buffalo
From buffalo
Buffalo are the buffalo from buffalo

And all's above lay
Pay tribute to the future death
Of our Thom Sonny Green

  1. S.... P....

    Breathe on me my buffalo 
    Your eye warms to a warning 
    Of a death without words

    I am here 
    Laughter swallowing cups of pride
    Inside it paints me 
    With the visions I love 
    For the future tributes 
    Our Thom Sonny Green

    Breathe on me my buffalo 
    Your eye warms to a warning 
    Of a death without words

    I am here 
    Laughter swallowing cups of pride
    Inside it paints me 
    With the visions I love 
    For the future tributes 
    A tome sunny green

    The buffalo from buffalo 
    Who are buffaloed by the buffalo 
    From buffalo 
    Buffalo are the buffalo from buffalo

    And all's above lay 
    Pay tribute to the future death 
    Of our tome Sunny green

    I first heard this song days before my favorite cat, who had always been there for me since I was born, died. Now whenever I hear this song I remember him and his death and I feel really sad. He is my profile pic btw.

  25. T.... S....

    This song makes me strangely happy and I have no idea why

  26. D.... L....

    When I watched this movie (Silver Linings) and I heard the song Buffalo, I freaked out a little and thought "this sounds alot like Alt-J" so I looked it up and almost threw up because I was so excited.

    D.... L....

    @Alexandre Serve thats disgusting in a way the doesnt make any sense

    D.... L....

    I thought the same thing yo

    D.... L....

    @Octavius W That's just due to increased sympathetic activity of our automatic nervous system. Tends to sensitize the vomiting center present in our brain.

  27. X.... T....

    The buffalo from buffalo buffaloed buffalo from buffalo whom buffaloed buffalo?

    X.... T....

    @Natasha Davalos thanks for the lesson, i didn't pay for it, but thanks.

    X.... T....

    +cнєяяу “落ち着いた春の桜の女神” cαкєѕ fuck off

    X.... T....

    @Brittney Atchison What the ever living fuck did I do to you?

    X.... T....

    +Natasha Davalos Brilliantly helpful rewording! http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/buffalo-buffalo-buffalo

    X.... T....

    @Brittney Atchison I wasn't really being rude.. I was being thankful for her analysis. Sorry if it came off as rude.

  28. A.... B....

    I'm from Buffalo, lolz.

    A.... B....

    Get many buffalo who buffalo buffalo buffalo there?

    A.... B....

    Of course!

  29. A.... ....

    Alt-j is so freaking amazing!! I love them! Movies are starting to pick the right artists!:)

  30. m.... ....

    what type of music is this?

    m.... ....

    I would classify it as Experimental Rock/Indie

    m.... ....

    @Garrett Steinbrink now defend your claim swine! 

    m.... ....

    ayy lmao. No need to label everything. Oh its folk inspired texas rap with a hint of pop maraca banjo-metal electronicoleptic funk rizzle

    m.... ....

    Banjo metal? I'm down with that.

  31. R.... 4....

    "IM NOT THE BIG SLUT"

  32. A.... C....

    At 13 seconds I always start singing "Shadows settle on that place..."

  33. J.... ....

    dont know how i havent heard this before, its really chill 

  34. K.... G....

    i saw sum one's boobies today hehe....

  35. D.... G....

    this sound it's beautiful , in this moment i feel pain in my heart , that sound make me feel peace

  36. C.... D....

    I didn't know this song before listening the movie and when I heard it, in my head I said : Omg  this sounds too much like Alt-J. I made my searches and surprise !  Alt-J :)

  37. o.... s....

    So good

  38. A.... ....

    The music in the beginning sounds like it was sampled from Daughter- Youth

    A.... ....

    They sample a few different songs too but they're still good. Nothings wrong with that.

    A.... ....

    @Atalya492200 yep, I totally agree

    A.... ....

    +Atalya492200 different progression

    A.... ....

    If you listen closely, this can be disproven within the first two notes. In this song, Buffalo, the second note drops lower than the first. In daughter-youth (I love that song btw) the second note goes up. Just listen closely and you’ll hear it!

  39. A.... A....

    oh thom, what a pity lol

  40. K.... P....

    Which part of the movie is this used in?

    K.... P....

    its when bradley cooper is heading out on a run, could be possibly the morning after he throws the hemingway book out the window...

    K.... P....

    Thankyou!

    K.... P....

    @jsn883 No, it's after the crisis he had in the middle of the night looking for his wedding video, he fights with his father and raises hell in the neighborhood. The police comes and warns. The next morning he takes thoses pills he had stopped... The music is used when he takes those dreaded pills...

  41. 1.... F....

    Watching Jennifer Lawrence brought me here

  42. A.... S....

    The goosebumps really begin at 1:40. It's so haunting.

  43. G.... J....

    just watched TheRadBrad Tomb Raider and he suggested it, yeah, i'm not dissapointed :')

  44. T.... J....

    If you came here for Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffaloing Buffalo buffalo, you're here for 2:09.

  45. t.... O....

    the
    Silver Linings Playbook

  46. f.... s....

    alt-j is so amazing, its insane

    f.... s....

    Insane is whisky a gogo

  47. M.... F....

    The Wikipedia page "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" brought me here.

    M.... F....

    M.... F....

    It's been 4 years since your comment but I just gave the 100th like! And same.

  51. C.... P....

    Brilliant song

  52. O.... T....

    I remember TheRadBrad suggested this song a while back. Wasn't disappointed :)

    O.... T....

    @johan elmlund High five! :D

    O.... T....

    yea same ahah it was on tomb raidor

    O.... T....

    I should start watching more videos from TheRadBrad. I didn't know he listened to Alt-J.

    O.... T....

    @Debo Baker Nah it was in Silent Hill Downpour when he was in the Library. :P

    O.... T....

    @JustAnUncreativeName it was on tomb raider too

  53. O.... T....

    I remember TheRadBrad suggested this song last year. Wasn't disappointed :)

  54. Z.... P....

    Aleluia encontrei essa música, o lado bom da vida trailer no telecine me deixou doido no youtube procurando o trailer certo :D

  55. H.... P....

    The first 20 or so seconds remind me of another song that I can't put my finger on. Does anyone know what other songs sound similar to this song's intro??

    H.... P....

    That's probably Daughter - Youth 

    H.... P....

    @Baptiste MORISSON Wow.. I'm a huge Daughter fan - have all of their albums and even have If You Leave on Vinyl - but never even occurred to me that the thing I was thinking of was right in front of me. Can't believe it didn't click. Thank you!!

    H.... P....

    No its Darude- Sandstorm.

  56. A.... ....

    This song is just sooooo good. I'm so glad I found Alt-J. I love them :P

  57. S.... W....

    Every song takes me out of the Earthly elements ... I confess , I love them :)

  58. W.... D....

    alt-j is my new favorite band. all of their songs are so unique and different. they remind me of radiohead mixed with some band of horses and passion pit. good stuff.

    W.... D....

    band of horses and passion pit.?? :0

  59. S.... ....

    Great song, but that ending is really unpleasant with headphones on... -_-

    S.... ....

    my eyes always move subconsciously when people do that with sound :P

  60. W.... M....

    Brand New Alt-j acoustic live 2013 cha

  61. h.... ....

    I'm in love with silver linnings playbook

    h.... ....

    honeydew477 same honestly. cried my eyes out watching it for the first time on New Year’s Eve

  62. P.... ....

    Beggining very similar to Daughter - Youth.

  63. n.... b....

    Jennifer Lawrence... "future tributes"... creepy.

    n.... b....

    Watched it yesterday, noticed that too, future predicted, it was meant to be!

    n.... b....

    Sorry but what do u mean if you don't mind me asking??

    n.... b....

    @Lembo B The song mentions "future tributes". Jennifer Lawrence is an actress in the soundtrack of this movie, and is also a "tribute" in Hunger Games. 

    n.... b....

    It's just a coincidence. But I agree, it's interesting.
    If anyone wants to know, he's referencing the "future tributes" that the band will pay to Thom Sonny Green, who is alt-J's drummer and will almost assuredly die of Alport syndrome, a genetic disease he suffers from that also has robbed him of most of his hearing. He loathes the future tributes because, obviously, he doesn't want his friend to die, but he knows he likely will in the next decade.

  64. c.... ....

    DO NOT FEED THE TROLL!

  65. 9.... ....

    I'll admit, you have some good taste in music. You found a band you don't like, oh well. Can't you move on now?

  66. g.... ....

    Ryuichi sakamoto, Pink floyd, Outkast, Radiohead, Omar Bashir, Gabriel Fauré, Jacques Brel, Between the burried and me, Charbel rouhanna, Edith Piaf...

  67. g.... ....

    Bach, Schubert, Chopin, Debussy, Buena vista social club, Duke Ellington, Ahmad jamal, Simon shaheen, Joao Gilberto, Tupac, The postal service....etc etc etc

  68. 9.... ....

    People, if you are sick of the fighting, go to a different video because it isnt going to stop... I am so sorry.

  69. 9.... ....

    They write and create their own music. What is lazy is all those rap artists who pay someone else to write their songs. All the singer then has to do is look "hot" and sing another persons words.

  70. 9.... ....

    Why did you think this was a good time for a joke? Then what do you really like?

  71. 9.... ....

    It is a little pop sounding in my opinion, not my thing. I can tell we have two different personalities and tastes in music. Who is to say what is good music? Besides Alt-j, i listen to Muse, The killers, Billy Joel, and Iron and Wine. You may not like that kind of music and you might think the bands i mentioned suck. That doesn't mean they actually suck, it just means that it isn't your thing. Why do we have to fight? Let's just be mature and except each others differences.
