alt-J - Arrival In Nara Lyrics

This band always make me feel relaxed and remove my tension

This song heals the soul.

4:08 that fly. That damn fly.

Does anyone have any recommendations for similar songs to this? I’ve never heard such a peaceful and somber song

Gutter by Lunatic Soul is a place to start.

Yesterday...today...tomorrow...mixed feelings...

The Discovery

This is how life may seem after we exist.

1:48 is where I find myself today

No creo dioses no creo la ciencia pero creo en tu ser

Life is free

Beautiful song, especially when the strings come in. Almost sounds like something Radiohead would make.

If you think about it, all Nara's songs tells sorta hopefull story. This story begin in Arrival in Nara with a narrative a little sad, but when come to Nara its happier; and the last one, Leaving Nara, its like this person and his wisdom increase about experience of life. You know, like, life is shit sometimes, but all this garbage can we appreciated if you make the passes with your life.

this album show me how wonderful life can be!!

Էկեք Երևան մազա ֆակեռներ

a musica mais perfeita e calmante desse mundo

This song is in the credits of a beautiful movie called The Discovery.it's beyond incredible,, coming from someone with depression and anxiety.this song in itself is proof of why we keep going.

Though I cannot see
I can hear her smile as she sings

people joke about despacito 2 but this is literally just nara 2

My mother and me were once on a roadtrip. One afternoon we were shopping, I saw this CD and said why not. We were listening to it the whole night through.

How can something be so fricking beautiful

The beginning of this song is a mayor throwback to when I was a little kid in kinder grade. I love how it has a twist and suddenly life hits me as an adult. This song is so warm.

i'the flies made me think of the corpse of the woman ... :/

2:30 on repeat

I can listen to this forever, it's an amazing source of inspiration

Mientras ella como submarinos
La cuerda se enreda en sus débiles pies
Antes que el Alba
Rompa su comprensión

En un abrir y cerrar de ojos, en un solo movimiento
Se contrae la cuerda
La arrastra hacia el océano


Ella nunca se acomoda
Succiona el agua hacia sus pulmones

Aunque no puedo ver
Yo puedo oir su sonrisa mientras canta

Y aunque no puedo ver
Yo puedo oir su sonrisa mientras canta♬♩♪

im not crying.. its just allergies okay

I came here cause I saw the film names discovery, then you'll understand why I love this song thanks alt-j, all your songs come to my soul , I feel it , I enjoy it from my inside in the deepest side.

As she submarines
The rope loops round her feeble feet
Before the dawn
Breaks on her sorry grasp

In a blink and in one motion
Rope constricts
Rips her towards the ocean

She never finds her bearings
Sucking splash into her lungs

Though I cannot see
I can hear her smile as she sings

And though I cannot see
I can hear her smile as she sings

Loved it!!! ♡ But am I the only one who heard a fly at the end?? @ _ @ lol.

Guillermo del toro // the shape of water 💧

ya'll are gonna come to Monterrey in June and you don't have an idea how sad I am because I ain't going and you're one of my most favorite bands and every time I have a hard time I listen to this album in special and everything fades away. I can't go cause I'm paying my career. ):

i don't fall in love with songs that often but this one got me GOOD. this is going on my funeral list

I saw you live at Electric Castle, last year. Probably the best concert I've ever been to. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Love you, guys

The upbeat piano part in the middle sounds like a very lonely dance, almost like someone remembering a past event

The Nara series of songs, especially leaving Nara touches my insides, like when you grow tingly when something intensely reminds you of snugness or home.

Damn u goood fuck

Linda canção. Faz voar no pensamento. Faz atravessar para uma outra dimensão. Gratidão.

the kind of song that makes me wonder why there are so much war in the world. i just wanna hug everyone.

Love you Norman, Sam Sam. Grow in peace

one day when I have a kids, I will sing them this song before bed

Heloísa obrigada por dedicar essa música a mim ♡ amo vc

Is there anybody else who came here because of the discovery ?

the discovery's ending song. good choice

this sing is my sex jam

At the end of the song I seriously thought a mosquito was in my bedroom…

Im so fucking happy i know this band.

That's how I want to die.

at the end you can hear a bee and with my headphones I thought it was a real one and then I realized that it was part of the song

"though I can not see I can hear her smile as she sings." absolutely devastating Give me more

you make me calm like submarines at deep sea and you make me wake as real life by you fly

This song could put me to my last sleep.

I closed my eyes, while sleeping sitdown, I imaginated my life with a girl to my side

this might be my favourite altJ song, it is so calming and beautiful. My mind is at peace when I listen to it. I feel like the sound could be the background theme of my life and play wherever i go, just quietly in the background, but ever soothing and never ending.

The Discovery brought me here.

The Discovery...anyone??

Discovered this after watching The Discovery. Very apt soundtrack :-)

i love this. makes me feel at peace with all my problems.

I sense a Miyazaki vibe in, don't you? Reminds me of Nausicaa for instance

So many feelings...

damn that fly sound. slapped my headphones off.

0:40-1:21 Just amazing..

My dream is to listen to this song while arriving in Nara :)

Who came from the movie "The discovery"!

yeah dude watched it like 4 hours ago

Sacha Kanso I’m late.

The Discovery netflix

Feeling the first notes echo through your mind is like stepping barefoot into a warm spring downpour after the harshest of winters.

The discovery OST...

The Discovery ? anybody ?

shout out to The Discovery for showing me this beautiful song.

The way in which The Discovery fucked me emotionally weighs heavy upon this song alone

That f*cking fly at the end of the song ! Thought there was a real one in my bedroom... HAHA

"The Discovery" brings me here

Anyone else here because of a Netflix movie called "the discovery"? It's weird because as soon as I heard the vocals I knew it was alt-J, but apparently I had already watched this video but I can't remember when

Also I recognized his voice right away as well.

Yes just came here after listening to the ending song of "The Discovery". Great choice.

Rxtriever , I've just finished watching it, so yes, it's the reason I'm here

Me too, that movie fucked with my mind space.

Literally the exact same thing !!!

Anybody after The Discovery? C:

The discovery brought me here

From the first moment I doscovered alt-J, it has always been one of my favourites music groups... but having heard this song unexpectedly at the end of "The Discovery" was what made me write this comment... what a mixture of emotions...

As she submarines
The rope loops round her feeble feet
Before the dawn
Breaks on her sorry grasp

In a blink and in one motion
Rope constricts
Rips her towards the ocean

She never finds her bearings
Sucking splash into her lungs

Though I cannot see
I can hear her smile as she sings

And though I cannot see
I can hear her smile as she sings

This makes me feel important again...

My bf is doing ❤ surgery rn and only this can keep me calm.

I listened to this song the first time I tripped on shrooms. My boyfriend and his friends were playing loud trap music and I was terrified, so my boyfriend led me upstairs to a dark room. We layed down, and he turned on Alt j. I'll never forget how beautiful he was in those moments... I tear up just remembering.. my head on his chest, listening to his heart beating to the pulses in the music... Thank you, Alt J.

Hello 911? 90 people disliked alt-j's song. You gotta catch these maniacs!

This song is PIECE OF ART it deserves so much more recognition!!!!

its just
i think its a masterpiece <3 and i like that its not mainstream and only few very special people listen to this song
its that kind of song <3 just perfect

*"Arrival in Nara"*

As she submarines
The rope loops 'round her feeble feet
Before the dawn
Breaks on her sorry grasp

In a blink and in one motion
Rope constricts
Rips her towards the ocean

She never finds her bearings
Sucking splash into her lungs

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

Though I cannot see
I can hear her smile as she sings
And though I cannot see
I can hear her smile as she sings

Oh ooh
Ooh

sooooo peaceful

How time flies when you get swept off your feet...this song is the sound of that heartbeat.

Such talent and lyrics.......makes me want to just go sit in the middle of a forest and enjoy nature.

This song is linked to someone I love very deeply and every time when I recall it hurts me, but at the same time I can't stop to listen to it.
But it feels good to cry with that melody.

rainy mood

Does this remind anyone of the Theme from Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind?

Joe Shmoe absoflippinlutely

Amazing

That buzzing at the end really freaked me out for a sec.

This song is disturbingly beautiful. The bass track fluctuates giving you an unsettling feeling, however it is always accompanied with a technically brilliant guitar melody line.
"Though I cannot see I can hear, smile as she sings."
This is about a woman drowning, and in her last seconds, she sings underwater to die doing what she loves.







Fuck this makes me so emo god must be my mid-terms.

This song reminds me of my childhood. Simple and sweet, and laced with wonder. It makes my heart float.
Though I have a feeling it's someone's thoughts as they're dying.
Maybe it's a circle.

who's Nara?

A place in Japan. Go to the alt-J Nara video, one of the top comments explains it.

+Krisald Bala thanks you

i love it
