Richard, Dawn - Calypso Lyrics






My heart beat is the calypso drum
When you Clap for me
I hear Bum Bum Bum
And if you care for me
Don't stop till I'm numb
Cause I Live This type of inner satisfaction

I been waiting
No Running

Been Waiting for the light to start flashing
So I could give your hands a reason to start raisin
So if you care for me
Don't stop till its Done
Cause I live for this type of shit slow motion

Slow Motion [x3]

I been waiting for this feeling
I been waiting so LONG
Been waiting for this feeling
They couldn't have been so wrong

Bum Bum Bum
Like the Calypso Drum
We are like the Calypso Drum
Our hearts go Bum

  26. T.... N....

    DAWN RICHARD IS HER OWN ARTIST MAKING HER OWN MUSIC. As a fan of her, I wish peeps would stop comparing her to other artists. How about praising her for her art rather. 😤😇😍 #QUEENOFHEARTS

    T.... N....

    Tanaj Nicholson totally agree with u👍

  27. M.... L....

    oh man - that vibe hook at 2:25 is quoting Angelo Badalamenti's track for the TV show Twin Peaks original soundtrack - "Falling," featuring Julee Cruise.

  28. J.... D....

    Amazing. The future...

  29. 3.... ....

    trying to rip off fka twigs look?

    3.... ....

    @orange moonglows "Especially if ur african" ermmmmmmmmmmm nope ur wrong ... before you guys were braiding ur hairs you all either had a haircut or perms. It was in africa where the culture of braiding had been kept alive at first until the 70s where there was the whole severe pro black movement with how you look. i think theres a difference between appropriation and appreciation. She always works with people from black america in the choreography department, twigs is also a choreographer herself so im sure she didnt learn to vogue by london eye and called herself a professional. And to be inspired by something doesnt mean the entire look has to be, for all we know dawn may have been feeling braids (like every black girl) and wanted it, its not her copying twigs nor was she pushing a chola look. Youre over doing it and bringing nonsensical history. From what I know cholas love braid back braids not singular dookie braids, its liked but its not the common look amongst them.

    3.... ....

    @mariellaforty
    u know, the problem with some africans is you don't get that we are african descended and brought these traditions to the americas. there was no theft or appropriation involved.  also, we were natural before we had relaxed her. we've always had relaxed hair? - lol. do you even know when relaxers became en vogue and who popularized them? we existed before then. omg.

    and no, you just got owned because you don't know the history of these styles which is why you're bringing up dumb crap.

    and you know nothing about cholas. or any of these styles, which are all rooted in culture and history.

    have several seats and stop embarrassing yourself.

    3.... ....

    @orange moonglows i dont give a flying fuck about cholas and their subculture in all honesty, just letting you know the BRAIDS you brought (when you say BROUGHT you insinuate it was picked up from somewhere, and the somewhere being AFRICA) to america is from africa. . Why would I need to sit down? its not gonna stop me from delivering my point.

    FKA Twigs is part Jamaican she also has a jamaican family ... if that makes sense to you. So therefor she IS apart of that culture she identifies with Jamaicans too, in no way does chola culture have anything to do with twigs wearing braids. Just so you know africans were brought to the caribbean, mainly west africans, where braiding was born which is why there is a clar link in the jamaican and african culture.



    SO that leaves us with my point, the black american/chola discussion is void because shes from the culture that practices and created the art form of hair braiding.

    You can leave now. and take all ur seats with you, I wont be needing them.


    bye xo

    3.... ....

    @mariellaforty
    lol. you are not so bright. twigs is all about subcultures. right now, the black american ones. i might also throw in a bit of gypsy too. ha ha. maybe on her next album, she'll display the interest in jamaican subcultures, what ever those may be.

    3.... ....

    no one owns any look, with time trends repeat. mostly in fashion will you see little to no slight deviation in authenticity. they can look the same and it's ok. 😇👍🎨

  30. D.... V....

    espectacular video

  31. S.... 9....

    Wtf did I just watch?

  32. M.... M....

    2016 dawn u are the shit

  33. b.... ....

    0:09 come on now... you KNOW that eyelash glue showing like that is tacky as fuck. you're more professional than that

    b.... ....

    only you care btw

  34. I.... D....

    I dont listen to many female artists but Dawn,Brandy,Solange, and Fka Twigs all day

  35. A.... A....

    I need DAWN & Santigold collab

    A.... A....

    I'm here for that collabo

    A.... A....

    Yeeeeeees

  36. T.... O....

    This is...DOPE AF! A Dawn + Azealia Banks collab would be LIT!

    T.... O....

    you're walk on thin ice with that idea. it would be cool honestly. I am fan of them both. I just wouldn't want any funny shit between them like AB saying something and all hell breaking loose. besides that I'm for the collaboration. 👍😍

    T.... O....

    +Tanaj Nicholson Right!! It hurts by soul when I think about all the amazing collabs Banks could be apart of but will never happen because of her rep 😔

  37. W.... ....

    This is a very artful video. The music industry is just so commercial that artistry has been pushed to the back for profits. They support plastic, substance-free music over artist that actually have vision, creativity and something interesting to say.

  38. N.... M....

    this sounds like the song you make when you think you're running out of time. brilliant.

  39. A.... M....

    kytten Jenae!

  40. G.... ....

    What an artist, very cohesive and while jarring at times, not so removed from reality as to make it un-relatable. Love it Dawn.

    G.... ....

    +GaijinPrincess Difficult for me to understand at first, but unique is the new black nowadays. She is so great. Loved Blackheart. Can't wait for the Red Era!!

  41. J.... L....

    This song makes sense in context of the album but admittedly it is a strange choice to give us a visual for this song considering Warriors, Castles, and Phoenix are there haha.

  42. H.... ....

    Dawn Im so sorry Ive been away from you, you creative genius. But you're hear* now, on repeat <3

  43. N.... ....

    Can you imagine an FKA Twigs x Dawn Richard collab? SHIT...

    N.... ....

    +fabuleuxfa3 they are NOT the same. Dawn is EDM and FKA is more experimental ESPECIALLY in vocalisation. They would make a unique harmony tbh.

    N.... ....

    that would be fire

    N.... ....

    +mariellaforty Dawn is not EDM...she's more than that.

    N.... ....

    @Raina Fleming i know for sure but she has core elements of edm and rnb but she can embody anythingggggg

    N.... ....

    +Raina Fleming truth... this is alien music

  44. C.... ....

    It took me a while to warm up, but now that I see what she's going for versus what she was doing with Danity Kane, I get it. Love it!

    C.... ....

    +Chin926 Same here :) Love it!

  45. J.... M....

    nice vid but I get she doesn't sing anymore she just make nice videos

  46. j.... ....

    its nice   but FKA TWIGS much???

  47. J.... P....

    She is giving me futuristic Brandy. Love this!

  48. J.... P....

    This girl is dope as hell. so underrated

    J.... P....

    +Joan P Yesss! I agree. Hopefully she receives more recognition with her newest album that is coming up. #RedEra

  49. L.... ....

    this artist <3

  50. G.... B....

    I feel like this already been done by Wynter Gordon but I like it either way. 😊

    G.... B....

    +Gilberto Banuelos What work of hers are you referring to?

    G.... B....

    @Jakey the song is dirty talk.

    G.... B....

    i rlly dont see how you could think the videos are similar like at all

    G.... B....

    +Jakey its jst similar style to me I guess.

  51. C.... I....

    for me this reads desperation. there's a way to represent classy art. this is bad ridiculous.

  52. J.... P....

    fka twigs if she grew up in america

  53. g.... ....

    this song + video are 100%

  54. A.... A....

    Hate me if you want but I feel like she is copying FKA TWIGS #shrugs

  55. g.... r....

    Terrible

  56. G.... 1....

    Black Vaporwave. So beautiful.

  57. S.... H....

    i get it. Its not my taste thats all

  58. N.... B....

    I truly love this song!!

  59. V.... ....

    One of these days, I'm sure I'll finally be able to tell her and JoiStaRr apart, because as of yet... I still can't:-). #TheResemblenceIsAMAZING!!!

  60. �.... ....

    I wished this song was similar to Noir in terms of vocals then we could hear the lyrics..... this video isn't for me but the gif art is vintage... its reminds me of this show called reboot .....I agree she does need to get out of that white room and go back to what monty did for roit/northern lights....... the camera looks good but but wild and faith was waaaaaaaaaaaay better. Since Dawn thru out the word commercial to describe red hopefully the visuals will tie into conventional concepts combined with dawn's particular style......

  61. a.... ....

    I'm going to need for dawn and Azealia banks to make a song ! Or Album !!!

  62. F.... ....

    Looks and feels like a fka twigs song and video. Im not so sure that she's being totally original on this one.

  63. D.... E....

    honestly i don't really care for what the people have to say about Dawn Richard. She is a very talented singer and dancer. All the people who are saying negative thoughts about her is a bunch of haters. all you haters are doing to her is just pushing her forward not bringing her down!! have yall heard that song called "Blow" that song goes out to all of her haters!!!  she is the singer and dancer making money and making something out of her self. you haters should leave her alone. And stop being miserable by messing with someone elses life and worry about your own..This goes out to Dawn Richard

  64. B.... B....

    very FKA twigs, I love it

  65. j.... ....

    She wants to be fka twigs so bad in this video , but I like it

  66. C.... J....

    This woman only makes great songs...

  67. C.... S....

    I Love how it takes me back to da 90s , GREAT JOB DAWN!!!!! Love this look on you alot has well ......your growth since danity kane is Amazing :)

    C.... S....

    @Christoph Symonette I know I love it!

  68. w.... ....

    Patra+Calypso+K? I like it.

  69. t.... w....

    What is wrong with her?! It has to be something wrong for her to be making music like this. I understand why she has not made it :(

  70. P.... E....

    Please bring back the Dawn that we know and loved from Danity Kane.

  71. T.... A....

    honestly its good that shes not "Out there" like everyone else. I think it would spoil her as an artist and pressure her into selling out and becoming another puppet to the music industry.

  72. V.... ....

    This is my new favourite song, I just wish it was like 10 minutes long

  73. s.... ....

    If this is the kind of music she really wants to make then I guess I'm not a true fan. I miss the sound she had in her Armor On EP. I want something that has a consistent beat that I can feel... this glitch hop mess is not catchy.

  74. b.... f....

    FKA twigs walks into cyberdog: a visualisation

  75. M.... ....

    Come to london baby girl. We get you.

  76. V.... M....

    I wish her other music sounded like this.

  77. D.... N....

    I have really grown to love this song

    D.... N....

    @ranny ran Me too! At first I was like mmm I don't know if I like it, but it's pretty good :)

  78. 9.... ....

    I think FKA Twigs and Dawn Richard would greatly feed off of each other and create a new kind of craft and visual concepts.

  79. G.... 1....

    Afro-Futurism at its finest...

  80. B.... A....

    Weird much?? That's why she left DK. To do weird stuff like this.

  81. s.... ....

    Totally stole from Twigz!!!! Love ya girl. But dont thieve bruh??!! Esp when the one youre stealing from is thin, black, and doing the same type of music and videos?!!! Identical

  82. A.... J....

    What the fuck did i just watch?

  83. B.... ....

    She brings originality!

  84. K.... ....

    I don't care who attack. I love Dawn.. but this vid was not at all what should have been used. She needs to get out of that white room.. and did this video in Nature.. that would have really set it off... Near water.. trees.. wind. .

    K.... ....

    @Kim Barnes this song is interesting

  85. k.... e....

    That eyelash glue though

  86. A.... ....

    Seriously sickeningly beyond belief! Groundbreaking! Mindblowing! Graphic, animation sculpture is vividly impressive! Diva gives every experience life hunny!!!

  87. K.... A....

    An Azealia Banks feature would be cool on this track

  88. a.... ....

    Very fka twigs'y

  89. S.... R....

    IM GLAD SHE MADE A VIDEO FOR CALYPSO!! GREAT SONG AND VIDEO TO MATCH!! GREAT JOB DAWN, I LOVE ME SOME HER!!

  90. I.... K....

    I think I'm high...

  91. D.... O....

    Não para não vem cá me dá a sua mão
    Quero que sinta toda essa emoção
    Cavalo branco agora eu vou te mostrar... shuashuashua

  92. E.... I....

    ayy lmao

  93. N.... C....

    Please make a video to Warriors !!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

  94. T.... ....

    D(alt j)wn

  95. F.... A....

    Was I the only one waiting for Aezelia Banks to pop up and start rapping lol

  96. T.... K....

    I love D🔺WN regardless thanks for the views people ether hate,love, or indifferent👌 it got you to watch the video
