Holter, Julia - In The Green Wild Lyrics






City shoes found ways down green fertile valleys
See I never could fall down straight in line so sure
Someone with a thing to say writes on a leaf and lets it fall onto my feet

I receive the news so small a child who cannot understand
I can't hear and I don't know
And the wind slows down so
Still a tree's a tree!
So calm and for a moment it makes sense but the tree says "la la"
And the language is strange the woman's "wa wa"

Am I too bored to understand?
Well good, I'm done
Off to the wild for me

In the green wild I am gone
My hands, toes, shoulders gone
But the shoes my feet have worn still remain
And they walk toward the sea
There's a flavor to the sound of walking no one ever noticed before

There's a humor in the way they walk
Even a flower walks
But doesn't look for me
It walks just as it's grown
It's laughing so naturally
It tells me a tree's a tree

    nick cave

  9. S.... ....

    Tuneless & boring unfortunately.

    S.... ....

  10. C.... ....

    Now was it Alice or "Julia in Wonderland" ? Definetly Julia !
    This song is totally out of this world : love it!

    C.... ....

    ya but the last half is a little boring

  11. E.... C....

    is this progresive pop?

  12. j.... ....

    can't believe it took me this long to discover her. she reminds me of cillie barnes in some ways

  13. m.... ....

    At around 1:50 the sound becomes so deliciously haunting....

  14. S.... K....

    perfect in every way

  15. J.... M....

    I love this song

  16. S.... R....

  18. J.... D....

    Mesmerizing

  19. P.... G....

  20. A.... ....

    10/10 song

  21. N.... C....

    te declaro mi nueva novia <3

  22. M.... ....

    I worry about myself for liking this song so much

  23. t.... ....

    Not gonna lie the first part really sucks not sure what she was thinking, but the second part is so good.

  24. t.... ....

    This "song" sounds like insects crawling over your face, and it's about as appealing as that sounds...

    t.... ....

    Yeah, we get it, your ears are broken.

  25. F.... ....

    lame song no hooks or melody boring

    F.... ....

    No hooks? No melody? Boring? 
    All completely false.

    F.... ....

    @Eric Sandoval all completely true. I like the song though

  26. e.... ....

    Love this song! Beautiful! Thanks to Anthony Fantano I am in love with this album, one of my favorites of the year so far.

  27. S.... ....

    I like recent records by Regina Spektor ...but it's true that sometimes she is a little too precious lookin' ...maybe she needs to lose control a lil bit more... i mean not really like the Talking Heads on scene... but more like a mid 70s Aerosmith record...

  28. N.... H....

    the song and video are sooo boring

  29. J.... ....

    This sounds like Regina Spektor on every drug imaginable and deprived of sleep for three days.

  30. M.... ....

    I like her more synthy, less organic sound.

  31. G.... C....

    i didn't see green wild. :c

  32. S.... ....

    It is the bass ? but it reminds me z early 70s Pentangle

  33. S.... ....

    THE ALBUM, OMG *__*

  34. D.... F....

    i absolutely adore this video

  35. K.... ....

    i tried to understand this song, but i can't. I really can't.

  36. M.... M....

    it's amazing how she composes songs. how does one imagine the beginnings of a song like this in their mind?

  37. S.... B....

    Clearly a talented lady, but the video is a bit pretentious.

  38. O.... N....

    This is siek!

  39. A.... C....

    Julia es lo máximo!

  40. b.... ....

    I can't stop hitting replay I love you Julia

  41. f.... ....

    I love all of it! new album sounds promising!

  42. t.... ....

  43. k.... c....

    is this coffee house music? I like it though... if you wanna rock to a new original song check:
    Lock 12 - The Edge
    fun and catchy

  45. P.... T....

    Song is amazing, video looks attrocious though imo.
