alt-J - Leaving Nara Lyrics

Alt J - I have no idea what they are saying, but I love it

wychodze, siema

widziałem mema z tą nutką więc wszedłem XD

Ty: "Wychodzę, do zobaczenia"
Ja (intelektualista): "Leaving Nara"

This song has something magical in it. its Tribal, its primitive, its beautiful. And it soothes :)

Ti amo anche io Fuad

Bovay, Alabama
Bovay, Alabama
I'll lay my hands deep
Into the mane of my lover
Bovay, Alabama
Bovay, Alabama
In the arms of the warmest colour
Bovay, Alabama
I'll bury my hands deep
Into the mane of my lover
Bovay, Alabama, Alabama

Why is there a minute of silence though

Why has nobody replied to this, though, I need answers

Lmao I love how fast I can find shit. I missed this song. Always made me think of my shitty ex and all the good memories that fool filled me with. To be honest it’s so depressing how we spend our one life time sometimes. Like just reflecting and realizing you’re letting yourself be controlled on how to live your life. The soul is eternal but your vessel is not. I’m faded so I go on. A shit. Ton. Of tangents. YEET

Sooo diferent and beautiful. Simply perfect!

i imagine im on a carousel, equal parts shadow and light flashing across my face as i turn. The girl in front of me turns and she's holding out her hand for me to take

This song feels like a gust of winter.

Merci alt J pour vos musiques, vous me faites partir loin de mes soucis ( je vous écoute souvent après les sales journées)

They're just genius.

I don't know about all of you, but this is definitely my favorite bands EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE IT!

Me leaving Nara: No! I DONT wanna;it's scary out there! You have no clue who much I need this, we've been through so much... I'll craft a magical circle and clap my hands, opening you right back up! YOU'LL SEE! ... 'Me' was never seen again in Nara :'(

Try listening to arrival in nara, nara, and this all at the same time. It's really friggen weird

it's like three different movements of one song, like moonlight sonata

weird that every different song let me think of different stuff

This music just makes
Me missing my X popping days in nyc circa 2006. Lol

Is it normal to be addicted to Alt-J at 11?

beanysimms imagine growing up without them since 1991, or my brother since 1983...

it ends at 1:58 ?

It might just be my crappy computer or something.. but on Apple Music this song and only this song has been removed from the album "This is All Yours", and therefore you can't listen to this track on Apple Music. Has anyone else seen this or better yet not seen this? Does anyone know why this specific track has been pulled from the service?

This missing from anyone else's iTunes all of a sudden?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song

LOVE IT <3 Yesssss......

was diving with huge mantas a while ago.. this song was spinning through my head the whole time

am i the only one that thinks this is very similar to sigur ros songs

This song for getting high ! 2x100350% =100

Bovay, Alabama
Bovay, Alabama
I'll bury my hands deep
Into the mane of my lover
Bovay, Alabama
Bovay, Alabama
In the arms of the warmest color
Bovay, Alabama
I'll bury my hands deep
Into the mane of my lover
Bovay, Alabama

Super glad I got the album.

Now THIS is how to end an album... I can't even express in words how good of an album this is

I'm going to Nara, Japan, in September. It's a cute town outside Osaka, where tame Sika deer roam the parks. I'm going to listen to this when I'm leaving Nara and I'll listen to "Arriving at Nara" when I'm on the train there. :)

and spend the rest of your days listening to Nara

@My name is Balls, James Balls. Damn straight!

@Making the Case :3

I'm doing the exact same thing haha

spent a day trip there yesterday and thats exactly what i did aswell

Gives me the chills

God bless you Alt J

fuck, the chill go through my veins from my head to toe. I envision myself fighting my own demons listening to this song. this song brings me beautiful pain; past anguish

Chills to chills and toe to toe

Don't take drugs in life but after a seance of your music, it suddenly become high.

Alt- J is God.

+Madeleine MacKeith V no one is god. nothing is god

+Omar Kana yeh but c'mon this is Alt- J we're talkin 'bout here

+Madeleine MacKeith V  Madeleine he is very good , but if Alt J is god then there are a lot of jamiriquise , paul  mcartneys  , lemon jelly's ,  paul wellers ,  air' s ,  and the masters of the overdubs   who are gods as well  because  good ol  Alt - J  has borrowed some music wine, from them  , but I love him , very versatile.  chris

+chris park True

In one word : Fabulous.

goosebumps.

boring song

Only 29 dislikes ? how is this possible lol

This song is fucking awesome live! Rattles the rib cage!

is this like christian music ?

their was one that said jhone something ....

XD no I don't think it is. Whatever, it sounds beautiful. So I will listen to it.

+Gerardo Becerra no, it is not like christian music. I think (humbly, with no intended offense or implication) that it is too unapologetically human to be christian music

momo lake the lead singer has stated that much of the music has religious undertones. He tries to keep from making them strictly Christian, even though that is his religion.

I'm on mushrooms right now and this song is AMAZING!!!!!!!!

+MrIzzy4real Fuck yeah!!!

It's not terrible without them either.

Magic.This band makes you travel to a fantastic place

Antonio Diaz not Alabama tho haha

like... Nara? xD

@JustCaitlin calm girl is normal find things how this form me

my favorite band ever

What's the significance of Bonvay, Alabama?

+Ashley Kortz I'm assuming Nara is about gay rights. Alvan E. Bovay is the guy who founded the Republican Party, and Alabama is a highly Republican state. The significance is that the Republican Party is the party that highly opposed/opposes gay marriage.

Listening to this, I imagined my self running in the forest along with some friends. Light everywhere, a sunny day. Trees passing by quickly... Turning my head I saw my friends looking at me, smiling while running beside me... And I fell happy. When suddenly, their faces started becoming really sad, eventually crying... And after that, they turned and lost into the woods, almost faded and here I was... running... left alone... while the forest was becoming darker and darker...
I don't even know what it means, it just came to my head...

Haha Alt-J is responsible for this. They have a strong influence on me

I want some of whatever youre on. Lol

Manolis Grifoman That is beautiful.

That sounds a lot like the video for Hunger Of The Pine

For those of you who have this album wait to the very end of Leaving Nara. You will be surprised to find an amazing song called Lovely Day.

This gives me chills 0_O

The bass literally kills me

+greedymutha100 zombie?

1K Likes??! RU GUYS KIDDING? This music deserves one million, or way more, look at Nicki Minaj's Anaconda ' s number of likes..... noo.... I'm 13 and I'm truly disgusted with those generations' music.. okay , others might like different artists, but seriously? ? 1K? It deserves WAAAYYYY more !!

Who is Nicki Minaj?

+JustCaitlin alt j is the current generation's music

+JustCaitlin Both sound like shit, all I hear from this is OOoOOh SabEEEr.

+JustCaitlin its humbling to know that there are some of the younger generation that can appreciate music as this. thank you :)

14 here. I share the same sentiments.

I feel like this song is trying to tell me something...there's a pain in this song.

Clint783 yeah thats So True its too logical you are smart you really explained it well and I was thinking the same thing you did it Thanks :) I was looking sor this Maybe I Come too hard at this but you can get it thank you again have a good day a listener of alt J :)

which is the relationship between the city from Japon and the russia’s anti-LGBT policy?

wacth movies of Naomi Kawase, most of her movies are filmed in Nara, highly recommended.

Bit gay

@Sühai In Nara deers are treated highly so in the song "Nara" (don t remember lyrics perfecly) it says "ill go be a deer în Nara"
Since the song "Nara" is about homosexuality.
Also theres a lyric "Open your butterflies, Rusia"

Honestly im just rambling ignore this comment. :V

This is just one of those songs that when you put it on full blast on speakers or headphones , it really gets into your soul  , you get lost and sounds bloody magical !!! This track that many others on this album are just TOO awesome !! 

Damn Cant believe I've listened to the album so many times and missed this song bloody beautiful  mate , and you get so lost in the vocals and melody much like the other songs !! This album never gets old , thats  magical man magical

forgetable track

@headbite alien listen to it a few more times, I think it's one of my favorites now. That rich bass floods through you like fuckin morphine

Your music is like my high but without the need for drugs ;)

You're such a fucking loser

LOSERRRRRRRR

BOOOOOOOOOOOO

IO AMO GLI ALT J !

como es que una cancion puede ser tan buena !

I love the story it tells

Sound better than "Arrival in Nara" !

I think Arrival is my favourite out of the three. 

It always gets better and better, you set a standard then smash through it with every song, alt-j ∆ is amazing, exceptional my favourite! 

These guys make the most striking and powerful music I've ever heard

is live so tangerine tree them about the fucking bald. High

Peter Gabriel should be proud of these boys.Last Temptation Of Christ Soundtrack for more goodness.Checker out.

i got this song off the cd and for some reason the silence is about 10 minutes long. i'm not sure what happened there.

I think they left Nara? 

There is a hidden track at the 12 minute mark in the song. It's called Lovely Day, it's a cover.

@Ember Batten lmfao 

@Michael LaFlamme such a great song and find.

Wow I never knew that ! I always skept it !

dunno why everyone (that i've talked to about this song) is hating on this song
its one of the strongest songs on the album, besides the minute of silence

my jaw dropped at 1:13.

it gave me fucking goosebumps 

Powerful

so soo in love with this album

Haunting as fuck.

Amazing Album!

divine inspiration.

I'll bury my hands deep
Into the mane of my lover.....

love this

this band does something.... like their composition of rhythms and melodies just makes everything feel amazing

No but for real...makes you feel like you're on drugs

This makes me feel so good

As I listened through the whole album in one go I now see that they, even thought it is my favorite band, need Gwil to make another album as good as An Awesome Wave.

Agreed. At least a bassist. Bass is important.

@Daniel Bregman Gwil only played bass in 3 songs. He played guitar in the rest of the songs.

@Daniel Bregman I'm sorry, according to the band, 2 songs, not 3. https://twitter.com/gusunger/status/422661531776868352 this is Gus' official Twitter. He plays keyboard.

This makes me feel things

The best things. <3
