Bibio - Dye The Water Green Lyrics

I love this but Dont know if I'm right but do this song revolve around Saving a life that was lost in a river?

This song is so sad to me.
There is a longing, it makes my eyes swell.

Algal bloom from runoff. Where are my real ones at

I've never heard a song that sounds more sad than this one

excelente música, gracias por compartir!

This is every relationship that's ended for me in a song, stopped me in my tracks. Beautiful and breath taking

This & You Won’t Remember are my two favourite Bibio songs. :)

You will know when they go ‘cause they’ll never light up the silence
And your heart just sighed
You won’t know when it’s time ‘cause the days don’t warn you that way
And your heart just dies
Somebody longs for you
Maybe they’re wrong for you
Somebody waits for you
Maybe too long for you
Look around, look inside, look under the stones in the river
See a life turned clean
Skim a stone, throw a bone, watch it float downstream and dissolving
Dye the water green
Somebody longs for you
Maybe they’re wrong for you
Somebody waits for you
Maybe too long for you

Acoustic folk psychedelia can be so good

Это божественно... очень .. до глубины души...
Всегда слушаю эту песню когда грустно или хорошо... и она всегда помогает мне...
Спасиииибо .

Perfectly lovely!

I'm single handedly driving up the counts on the views of this incredible video. This guy can do it all.

gorgeous and wildly talented.

I could close my eyes and leave all away from my mind ... faaaar from me 🙏

Such a magical song. Whenever I listen to this, I feel like my mind is in a state of zen or something....

Bibio creates his own unique reality unlike anyone...

Out of this world, Amazing...

the last part makes me cry. it's so wholesome. fuck.

Why this music is so fucking sad? I'm always skiping this in my playlist to not get depressed, because everytime it touches my very fucking deep memories and feelings that I would never want to remember again..but despite everything I love this music. It's pure and emotional.

❤️👍❤️🤡❤️😎❤️😻❤️😁❤️

This is beautiful...

Perfeito

The footage really makes this song

Oh my god it's beautiful.

We all need someone.

Amazing / the Dreams music

One of bibios songs that truly goes beyond the artist, one of his best or possibly the best

Bibio is so seemingly disconnected from all the happenings of the world, he makes me forget I'm even human when I listen to his music

love the video.

can't get over this song.

bibio is a fuck**n genius

I'm so glad this video turned out to be nature instead of people. I'm always nervous to watch music videos of the songs I like because they usually ruin the song for me, but this one didn't :)

4:42 The Lick

♡♡♡♡♡

Tuning please? I would love to learn this on guitar.

This is about looking for your soul mate.. the one you haven't found yet.. you may never find.. yes, it can make you cry.. because he's out there.. but where?

Do you know about "the secret"? a positive belief goes along way to making something happen, I believe you meet that person.

rob01244 Yes I actually have all 4 books!... good idea, I need to be thankful for finding him and really feel it! Wish I knew what he looked like so that I could see it better in my head.....
Thanks for reminding me

Diannefairy P make it happen :)

rob01244 have you found yours?

I'm happily married with children, my wife is definitely my soul mate - I'm very lucky, there is someone out there for everyone :)

ADULT SWIMM brought me here lol

Lol me too

hahahahaha same dude

Now follow his music backwards. He's put out some really good stuff in the past

I found a different song on the end of a movie credits that's how I found them

If you guys dig this vibe you might like Munechild on my channel

Tearz in my eyes always after "dye water". what can i more?

great song, video editor found too much to do though

does anyone else think this (especially the end bit) sounds like Chrome Cavities by Fredrik?

The style of film, effects, and colors remind me of the Cherub Rock music video by The Smashing Pumpkins. Great music video Bibio. Well done chap!

this is very beautiful song
everytime listen to this i always cry ...

+deedee lala You may need to see a psychiatrist

you may need to shut the fuck up.

@SimplyHaffar Wanna take this offline bitch

I completely agree, a beautiful song and it definitely brings a tear to the eye.

This is the best video representing how entering a lucid dream is like. :D

Shouldn't this video be in 4:3?

You will know when they go 'cause they'll never light up the silence
And your heart just sighed
You won't know when it's time 'cause the days don't warn you that way
And your heart just dies

Somebody longs for you
Maybe they're wrong for you
Somebody waits for you
Maybe too long for you

Look around, look inside, look under the stones in the river
See a life turned clean
Skim a stone, throw a bone, watch it float downstream and dissolving
Dye the water green

Somebody longs for you
Maybe they're wrong for you
Somebody waits for you
Maybe too long for you

I heard your stuff for the first time at Magnaball, the Phish concerts. I took some video of the Magnaball display. Your song was playing. I found your music amazing. A public display. Sadly YOUTUBE muted your song. How can we get American audiences a chance to hear you if it is muted. Oh well. I guess you do not want to sell anything here. Maybe this is why artists like yourself can not sell and make money.

God, I finally discovered heaven

This music video looks like a simulation of a dream. It's incredible.

RepublicOfDeponija shroomy

Clark's fave track by Bibio, so I had to be here. I'm not disappointed.

+Walt Kovacs Really? How did you know this is Clark's fav Bibio track?

he said it on facebook few years ago

This sounds like floating in a cloud. Amazing!

Well Done Bravo!

This just made a ADULT SWIM bump

Viagem transcendental!!! 

You will know when they go 'cause they'll never light up the silence
And your heart just sighed
You won't know when it's time 'cause the days don't warn you that way
And your heart just dies

Somebody longs for you
Maybe they're wrong for you
Somebody waits for you
Maybe too long for you

Look around, look inside, look under the stones in the river
See a life turned clean
Skim a stone, throw a bone, watch it float downstream and dissolving
Dye the water green

Somebody longs for you
Maybe they're wrong for you
Somebody waits for you
Maybe too long for you

This music video is the epitome of my life.

God, is it you..?

genius music

I dont know why but this reminds me of some led zeppelin type work. simply amazing tho!

@Joshua Zaragoza I thought the same thing - like the song No Quarter.....

+Joshua Zaragoza (JoshuaVlogsBruh) Some of this was filmed by Robert Plant's house.

+Bibio omg I'm such a big fan of you!! You are amazing

nice one

Found this on St. Patrick's day

so did I!

VHS will always have a magical atmosphere. Not just nostalgia but a unique feeling alltogether.

It really is a great medium

So Beautiful! xoxoxo....

Got so happy when i heard this on Men, Women, & Children!!! This song reminds me of some led Zeppelin type stuff.

It's just fcken amazing.

Divine!

This song in a rainy winter day....

Who needs LSD anyway!

So incredibly beautiful! 

Bibios music is so good it cannot be done justice with words. Only 1 problem, in over half his songs you can BARELY make out his lyrics

I never can understand if thats intentional. If so, and they dont share lyrics, they want you to interpret them for yourself maybe?

Jake Horne that’s exactly what he wants you to do. his music is instrument based and that’s where the feeling comes from, the melodies are melancholic as F.

I'm feeling in peace after this music. Just in love with Bibio ♡

most beautiful

Synesthesia with this song is killing me.

When I see this, I picture a story in my head.
About a human and an elephant-like mythological wind creature called a "Gale"

The First sequence:
A bounty hunter named Ian takes a request that says to find and capture a Gale (which are an endangered species), and bring it back to the client. Ian meets the client to negotiate terms of reward. Ian finds it satisfying and questions why would he want an endangered specimen. The client states that he is a wealthy man and has many mounted trophies, but not a Gale, That's why he put a bounty and posted a request for anyone to hunt one and deliver it to him. Ian leaves without question.
While Ian is searching, the story focuses on the Gale who lives a (not so) pleasant life as it migrates from place to place, alone, enduring harsh conditions, natural predators, and little food, it almost dies, but manages to overcome the predicament, then one day, it flies up to the mesosphere to give birth. Looking at her child, The Gale's life calms down a bit and lives a more peaceful life.

The Second Sequence:
Three months later, the Mother Gale is grazing a field of grass with her child (who is now capable of flying). Unbeknownst to the pair, Ian has found them Ian draws his sword and (purposely) snaps a twig to get the Gale's attention. The Gale's maternal instincts activate and and looks around, as soon as she sees Ian, she charges at him and tries to scare him away, Ian isn't afraid and thus, a violent fight ensues.
The Gale has become exhausted, but Ian is still capable of fighting, as he draws a shock collar to contain the Gale, the child runs to defend it's mother. Ian sees it's determination and decides to take it instead of the mother. As Ian wraps the shock collar around the baby Gale, the mother frantically tries to move. Ian then walks up to it and states in a firm voice, "If you ever come after me, I will kill the child and take you in it's place". Ian then walks away as the immobile Gale cries.

The Third Sequence:
Ian calls the wealthy client and states that he has the prize and set up a secluded meeting area to claim his reward. As soon as the call ends, Ian makes another call, but we don't know who. Two days later, at the secluded meeting area, Ian meets with the client with the baby gale shackled to his arm. Ian states that it wasn't easy finding and catching the Gale, and demands a bonus along with his reward, The client agrees and the trade commence, Just before the baby gale's leash is handed over, five armed policemen emerge from the shadows and declares the client under arrest for ownership of an endangered species. The client looks at Ian with consternation, as Ian takes a few steps back and crosses arms and staresin a condescending manner. As the client is taken away, Ian decides to return the baby Gale to it's mother.
A week later, Ian walks with the (unchained) baby gale who seems to have bonded with him. they soon find it's mother and the Mother Gale charges at him. Ian grasps his sword and prepares to defend himself, but the baby gale steps inbetween them. The mother stops and nuzzles her lost child with tears and happiness. The baby gale walks up to Ian with a sense of attachment, and as Ian tries to pet it goodbye, the mother quickly becomes angered and roars at Ian to "Stay away from him". Ian understood what the mother meant, waved goodbye and walked back home to take another request.

Trippin on acid,bruh?

nah. I'm just an imaginative storywriter

And I dig that! :)

But all that just from a song?
Damn

timeless song

My landlord's just served notice on me and my country might break up tomorrow. Time for something soothing.

@Jeremy parker I lost my job today. But listening to this track makes all my troubles less cumbersome.

@Avatar Wan​ Glad to hear it (about the song, not the job)! Hope you find something else soon!

@Jeremy parker Good luck to you, man.

+Jeremy parker So how is your country doing?

@knifebladepresents What at?  It's doing very badly at rugby!

So beautiful..listened to it on turkish radio last night...

which radio?

So sweet. One of the top artists of his generation. Madly underrated. 
Dirtbox said so.

I would love to walk through that forest listening to this song! Beautiful!

I am going to listen to this out in the desert at night during Burning Man this year. This is just timeless

Your voice is amazing - perfection. Very artistic and I really appreciate your music.

This is my favourite album <3
