Villagers - The Waves Lyrics

Good trippy song to go for after being stoned.

This is very good live.

This song gives me chills every time - one of my all time favourites

Found this by a mistake but now I happy

Master piece of music and words by villager's

Nat geo music subscribe for it . They play dope !!!!

This is my favorite music 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😇😇

Very very Good

There are waves
Up in the diamond sky
Stronger than you and I
Am a wave
I break through the barrier reef
Cut through the carbon sea
Approaching the shore

Look at the sky, look at the trees
Man, it's all the same to me
Look at the cars, look at the birds
And all of these invented words
One body's dying breath is another's birth
What are you running from?
What are you running from?
Sister jury, brother judge
In you I recognize this grudge
Buried deep beneath the sands
Of these ridiculous demands
No time for innocence, or sitting on the fence
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?

When the waves
Cover the coastal plains
The tents and the cars and the trains
And the trace of honeybee cemeteries
Of well insulated dignitaries
All screaming of the memory of a human love
For anything, or anyone

Look at the birds, look at the bees
Madam, it's all the same to me
Look at the girls, look at the GOLD
Gathered, beat and bought and sold
One man's innocence is another's chance
What were you thinking of?
What were you thinking of?
Now please let me boil it down to this, my son
This party's getting wet, but it ain't over yet
So what is it gonna be?
What is it gonna be?
What is it gonna be?

Just let the waves
Cover the coastal plains
The fear and the guilt and the pain
And the trace of honeybee jealousy
Of well insulated bigotry
And if you don't agree
You better get back inside your cave
'Cause we're all dancing with the waves

Up in the diamond sky
Stronger than you and I
Am a wave
I break through the barrier reef
Cut through the carbon sea
Approaching the shore

This man is amazing. Why hasn't his music got far yet!? I'm sick of all this main stream stuff... It all sounds the same!
We need more of this!!!

Singer's voice is so distinctive he should be in voice acting

super korina

I don't think any song/video has ever affected me this way. Ever!

Thank God to Nat. Geo Music Channel people for bringing me here!!!

Holy shit same

From there too! I just joined here today.

Just came through Nat Geo 😍

Help me find all that was played on that channel pls

Oh my Buddha! WOW! Mind is blown! Face is melted!

Nat geo music brought me here!

anybody else come because of flippy

cosmic consciousness. the waves... they dictate. not government. expand youreself... we are consciousness

Truly epic video and song!

It's no wonder people don't buy music any more.

Haha seems like they are trying to hypnotize ppl to buy this song on iTunes 😂😂

such a feel good song...i love the beat

Still so underrated

#Spotify got me here...

Pure genius.

Love this song, don't normally listen tovrock but these guys are good

UH wow! mind blowingly good. I love the metaphor of our lives as waves, everything is made of waves (vibrations) and we are approaching the shore.

There are waves 
Up in the diamond sky 
Stronger than you and I 

Am a wave
I break through the barrier reef
Cut through the carbon sea
Approaching the shore
Look at the sky, look at the trees
Man, it’s all the same to me
Look at the cars, look at the birds
And all of these invented words
One body’s dying breath is another’s birth
What are you running from?
What are you running from?
Sister jewelry, brother judging, you are recognized this grudge
Buried deep beneath the sands of these ridiculous demands
No time for innocence, or sitting on the fence
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna…
When the waves
Cover the coastal plains
The tents and the cars and the trains
And the trace of honey bees sanitaries
Of well insulated dignitaries
All screaming of the memory of the human love
For anything, or anyone
Look at the birds, look at the bees
Madam, it’s all the same to me
Look at the girls, look at the gold
Gathered, beat and bought and sold
One man’s innocence is another’s chance
What were you thinking of?
What were you thinking of?
Now please let me boil it down to this, my son
This party’s getting wet, but it ain’t over yet
So what is it gonna be?
What is it gonna be?
What is it gonna be?
Just let the waves
Cover the coastal plains
The fear and guilt and the pain
And the trace of honey bee jealousy
Of well insulated bigotry
And if you don’t agree
You better get back inside your cave
’cause we’re all dancing with the waves
Up in the diamond sky
Stronger than you and I
Am a wave
I break through the barrier reef
Cut through the carbon sea
Approaching the shore [18x]

de lo mejor que eh escuchado en esta decada

Still my favorite, cant wait for the release of his next album.

Brilliant 

I swear this is describing the world in terms of particle physics? I mean, we all really are "Waves"..

Que bonito tema, me gustó mucho. 

It's just stuck on repeat. Love it. 

trippy video

This music video reminds me of the ending to 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I love to play this track as I'm skinning dead rabbits with my penknife.

Somebody should skin your ugly ass.

wtf man !!!!!

prior to cooking dead rabbits, it's preferable to take their skin off. How would you like to go to McDonalds and have a burger with the cows skin still on. ?

Oh ok, I get it.

Holy shit.

So good !

This is a BEAUTIFUL video :D 

This is cosmic knowledge.

Christina M. Ward
bruhh look at ghostemane

Reminds me of sufjan stevens!

Refreshing tune, good lines, trippy video that throws us back to early '90s way of making music videos. Loved it!

this is too perfect. so beautiful the song the video everything.

you think that because you have nerver try to use drugs -_-... it's quite different .. what you feel with and what make you a better trip...

cool but love the acoustic best.

Trippy as fuck... and I'm sober..

That's how oysters make pearls...

Just caught this song on the BBC Glasto coverage. Completely blown away...

Just found out about these guys by watching a webcast of Other Voices. Spectacular!! I can't get enough.

I love this song, but the video takes it to a whole new level. Wow!

I need to watch this video when I'm high.

"WARNING: This video contains strobe effects and flashing imagery."

You can say that again...

That ending! <3

I've never seen Elisabeth spelled with an "s" before. cool beans

lovin this band soooooooooo much xxxxx

the electro part really screw this for me,cause well I'm an instrumental dude,but still the way it's implemented (if that's the word,sorry bad english) is wonderful, as always everything from villagers

You are SO SO SO correct. This is much like crack. I find myself listening to it again and again and again.

The very best of modern music :)

you don't know shit about music. And evidently you don't play any instrument nor compose any kind of music.

I was waiting for Fantasy Man to show up... Great band!

Very good song with nice beat

A masterpiece!!!

Sounding like Radioead is never a bad thing. But when I hear this I don't hear Radiohead. I hear Villagers.

I like the way the song's theme (waves) is echoed in its structure, building and building, from gentle start to riotous cacophony. Plus, the video is a party in my pants :D

Just a rip off of Radiohead. Recent music is so uninventive.

Interesting,

Agreed such a unique style . Love the whole album

Yeah, I thought it was going to be a lot more electronic than it turned out to be ha

funny I totally see where you're coming from. Awayland isn't really all that electronic though except for this and Rhythm Composer.

SICK BEAT! :D

Where's the 3D option?

I agree! It'll be interesting to see if there is any mirroring of songs/lyrics.

Very 70's isn't it?

Wtf wasn't expecting this, hmmm...

This is really the opposite of fascinating

musically boring

Epileptic's worst nightmare.

To late. His my boy.
^^

Marry me, Conor.

this is trippy as fuck

badass song

What a song!!

fantastic.

Well... Conor's done a tab of acid since the last time we met him!
x

I'm expecting this to be like, Becoming a Jackal is Wide Awake and Awayland is Digital Ash

That sounds delicious.

Best song to wake up from a failed end of the world.

omg! you should totally consider doing stand up!

His voice is irritating.

Very Very Unique Video !! One Of A Kind !! Awesome Song ! Definitely enjoyed it !! The Video Was Fantastic !! This Will Fly Off The Store Shelves !! Palm Beach Florida Usa

the waves represent emotions, and how strong emotion can, for a single person, destroy everything around them...

I threaten to be overwhelmed...

I don't know how i get here but that's awesome!

Sure, .. Tuna salad ok? :-)

can you make a sandwich for me?
