Bibio - Mr. & Mrs. Compost Lyrics
Succulent, ready to be twisted off
The leaves are warm and the stones are hot
The distant houses seem to melt with the vast open glowing air
The almost steaming ragged wood of the oak trunks and the sweating walk
The ease of the wagging boughs
A story tells me that there is a couple there
Buried 'neath the twisted roots
Older than the tree itself, older than the ruined farm
They lived there in the wooden days
When hands were tougher than a plough
And will was stronger than the rafters of a house
I also heard their dog is there
Their bones are tangled in that tree
Side by side and holding hands
And that's the reason why that tree is beautiful

perfection
Les six premières notes sont les mêmes que celles qui forment le leitmotiv de l'album Angel Station du Manfred Mann Earth Band...
What a masterpiece
can anyone tell me how I can get a camera that shoots video that looks like this? pure nostalgic magic
Deevonee a film camera (one that uses actual film reels or cartridges) will get ya the desired effect!
it's Super8 film/camera
Good stuff :)
England Dorset area
Yeah, I love it.
That's on purpose my friend
Sounds like it was recorded in the 50's
Does anyone have any idea where this was shot?
Please release this album on vinyl. That would be awesome.
everyone deserves to listen to it. don't be a jerk just because you feel you are more musically educated. let them educate themselves.
if you think coldplay can even hold a candle to this song, or anything by bibio -- you don't deserve to listen to any of it.
i luckily happened across bibio 3or so years ago.. and i have never been more proud of, or more satisfied with, any other artist/band(of which there have been many in the mean time) that i have ever discovered for myself.... Stephen Wilkinson is a master of the Sonic and, when lyrics are involved, Poetic Arts.
I came here, I listened, I never left.
so timeless,nuff said!
@badboyforlife10195 Okay, Mr sweet talking "badboy": All comments removed. Happy now? The first comment I made, admittedly was a trifle heavy-handed, So to all those Brits out there that were offended - I apologise. :)
Bibio knows how to make my day
@Bishibee his voice actually does have chris martiny moments. i don't think it was their intent to belittle anyone by way of a simple comparison. if they had said 'coldplay is better' or something. then, yeah. that would be dumb.
it also reminds me a little of jose gonzalez. but don't freak out.
hearing this brings to mind the winter i spent istabul, i made clothes for the rats that would come under my door. they enjoyed the slacks but were not fond of my jackets, so i stepped on their throats. Also i have never been to Istanbul..
@theindiefanclub
No doubt, but thats not where this sound came from.
@Bhousm76 Bibio's a British music producer :)
@pavlus2 they truly do!
this is ultra dreamy, i didn't know thats how brits were
yo bibio is the best cat doing it in this genre right now... easily
This owes more to late 60's and early 70's psychedelic folk than anything else, it's just great music really. enjoy it, and give thanks were are lucky enough to have it.
@pavlus2
no way, this sound is American all over. Southern america, with a folky twist...
great song and video. does anyone know where it was filmed?
How is this like coldplay?!?!?!
@TheyWereCones haaaaaaahahaha jesus.
Very kind of you to say Pavlus :)
He's from my home town too! Hooray!
I didn't know there is a clip !
what is coldplay? :P
yes that's him singing. i don't get how it sounds anything like coldplay, of all the people you could have named :p
Agreed. This is a very talented artist and Vignetting is my pick for album of the year and it's only April.
This album is just amazing
i just got vignetting the compost. WHOA!!!
i'm perfectly stunned. this is brilliant.
ooooooooooohhhh :D
Wonderful. I can't wait for the album :)
