Bibio - Raincoat Lyrics






Watching the wind blowing rain on my window
Shining like eyes looking out onto the road
Light through the steam of my tea flickers like flames
I put on my raincoat and step into the day
Puddles on the pavements and streams in the gutters are washing the blossom away
I smiled like I didn't know my telephone number and all of my thoughts yesterday
Down in the churchyard: the yews hollowed and old, trees like umbrellas, their sound tickles my soul
Puddles by the gravestones are colouring the bluebells and washing the dying away
They smiled like they never knew a telephone number and all of my thoughts of today

  3. A.... J....

    Watching the wind blowing rain on my window
    Shining like eyes looking out onto the road
    Light through the steam of my tea flickers like flames
    I put on my raincoat and step into the day
    Puddles on the pavements and streams in the gutters are washing the blossom away
    I smiled like I didn't know my telephone number and all of my thoughts yesterday
    Down in the churchyard: the yews hollowed and old, trees like umbrellas, their sound tickles my soul
    Puddles by the gravestones are colouring the bluebells and washing the dying away
    They smiled like they never knew a telephone number and all of my thoughts of today

    On the same begging train with you Anna.

  15. J.... J....

    Bibio is a god, his music is such a fantastical and scrumptulious trip to a different dimension, his beat-making skills were blessed upon him by a thousand queens all from different galaxies. That is all.

  16. E.... N....

    I couldn't stop smiling. Thank you so much

    E.... N....

    Perfect profile photo for your comment <3

  17. G.... H....

    This sounds sooo delicious

    T.... D....

    that's awesome

  19. j.... s....

    I think you are my soulmate bibio.

  20. M.... A....

    beautiful guitar tone, anyone know the electric guitar reference ?

  21. R.... R....

    what rap song does the bridge with the saxophone sound like

    R.... R....

    +Robert Richards probably not what you're thinking of but it reminded me of These Walls by Kendrick Lamar

  22. R.... A....

    Does it get any better than this?

  23. L.... C....

    Definitely one of my biggest influences

  24. a.... ....

    Anyone know which microphones were used?

    a.... ....

    +adlg27 shure sm58 on voice, sennheiser md421 on his acoustic

    a.... ....

    +adlg27 Looks like Sennheiser on guitar, Shure on vocal

  25. A.... K....

    Bibio's music has the same magic as a Hayou Miyozaki film. I can't quite put my finger on it.

  26. v.... ....

    This beautiful track is so opposed to the AE sticker <3. I love both

    v.... ....

    Autechre has some gorgeous tracks! Like "Nil"! Warp just signs so many good artists... Anyway, I think the ae sticker is rad!

  27. m.... ....

    He looks like my dad in the 70's.

    m.... ....

    +margento101 Your dad wishes

    m.... ....

    @Tor Guy no. He was already dead when Bibio appeared on the stage.

  28. r.... ....

    This band is so dreamy.

  29. R.... ....

    Perhaps the best thing I've ever heard/seen

  30. s.... ....

    Love this song. Bibio is fantastic at what he does!

  31. J.... P....

    does anyone know what kind of electric guitar this is ? thanks

    J.... P....

    @Pharelight Wind I think it's a hohner. The guy did other clips with it. check out the one called lover's carvings.

    J.... P....

    +Marc Le Saux The electric guitar is a Hofner. super close to how you spelled it

    J.... P....

    +Pharelight Wind Yamaha

  32. J.... ....

    Damn, he plays the sax too!

  33. D.... A....

    similar vibe to Sunday by Nick Drake. 

  34. A.... s....

    What's that electric guitar model?

    A.... s....

    It looks like an Epiphone Broadway

    A.... s....

    sounds so great!

  35. A.... R....

    imagine alex turner n bibio on a project, 

  36. j.... ....

    This is a gut shot of emotion. Amazing tone, wonderful composition. 

  37. k.... ....

    This is beautiful. Is Bibio doing something else than music?

  38. D.... ....

    Ridiculous

  39. P.... P....

    He plays the saxophone as well! I'm assuming it's alto. Oh man I'm so gonna learn to play this myself...

  40. R.... F....

    Beautiful song! Beautiful video! Awful mix. 

  41. �.... �....

    Сессия будет поинтереснее, чем студийная версия

  42. I.... H....

    He is genius!! On repeat forever ♥

    I.... H....

    hope u'll enjoy this song for a long time :)

  43. s.... ....

    Love it. Great stuff!

  44. k.... y....

    素晴らしいです。

  45. m.... ....

    Bibio is a master!

  46. M.... S....

    very beautiful and wintry.  The opening guitar line strangely reminds me of the opening riff to Phish's You Enjoy Myself.

  47. K.... P....

    This is fantastic.

  48. K.... Y....

    Absolutely beautiful .

  49. v.... ....

    ha! nice hes got an autechre sticker on his guitar

    v.... ....

    Also has a Boards of Canada on a tape deck.

  50. J.... S....

    Simple the best!

  51. G.... ....

    in love

  52. c.... ....

    The one dislike must have been a mistake... MUST HAVE...... Recently found bibio and he truly is inspiring. Such a pleasure to watch playing. Musical genius.

  53. E.... N....

    Sounds like millionyoung's easy now

  54. �.... �....

    excellent. i found it stunning how the scenery and colours of their clothes and instruments dissolved into music.

  55. E.... H....

    I would really dig it if Bibio were to tour his back catalogue with a live band. A lot of the electro would sound great live as well as his bangin' acoustic based tunes

  56. C.... R....

    Obra de arte del siglo XXI

  57. b.... ....

    How does he play guitar and sax at the same time?

    Why does he crop out the other musicians faces?

  58. R.... G....

    Fckng mzng

  59. e.... ....

    Cracking!!!

  60. M.... S....

    please do more!

  61. D.... P....

    The æ sticker on the guitar lol

  62. s.... ....

    ...is anyone else struggling to figure this one out on the guitar?

  63. A.... ....

    whoa i felt this amazing sensation all throughout my body

  64. A.... J....

    this is one of those songs i would love to live and grow old in.

  65. A.... J....

    your outfit perfectly fits the atmosphere of the music. I love this session!

  66. C.... ....

    wow... gorgeous track

  67. D.... C....

    I like the jumper ;) w o n d e r f u l l

  68. e.... ....

    That is the tits!

  69. B.... A....

    Like x1000000

  70. w.... ....

    he has a sax playing clone

  71. f.... ....

    I'm just curious as to why the ufffffkkkkkk... Would anyone put an autechre sticker on such a sweet Ass guitar...?! I'm not British though, or on Warp. Hmm.. Either way nice tune, respect. If you happen to see one Prichard D. Jams, tell him Rubber Johnny has over stayed his welcome, and he needs to come pick him up.. ...unfortunately, we had to pawn his wheel chair for more drugs and string cheese. Right.

  72. M.... ....

    not so famous yet

  73. S.... K....

    So good. Thanks.

  74. R.... ....

    what else can be said but thank you! Bibio has this uncanny ability to create songs which we all have the feeling we've heard before and evoke memories of childhood, yet at the same time are completely fresh and new!

  75. M.... ....

    I adore his music. Much love from Italy <3

  76. w.... ....

    its jesus

  77. m.... ....

    NICE....

  78. m.... ....

    ugh! goosebumps. you are amazing!

  79. R.... T....

    Respect beautiful music

  80. O.... ....

    fantastic!

  81. d.... b....

    Ermagawd dat sax.

  82. d.... b....

    Oh man that is just splendid. A beautiful piece in its own right, or perfect for a stroll in the park or a quiet sit with a cuppa. I find the guitar and saxophone sounds very similar to some from Frank Zappa's The Grand Wazoo which I hadn't heard anywhere else really. Clean and jazzy.

  83. M.... ....

    I dig the syncopation on the main melody as it differs from the album version. Great job, Bibio & Co!

  84. j.... ....

    All three of these performances have made my life okay. Like, it doesn't matter what's actually going on around me, because these songs exist, and that makes everything alright.
