Bonobo - The Keeper Lyrics

Jason stathaaaaaaaaaam

This song gives me the goosebumps

What do the lyrics mean?

Better peace, love...we cant go on. Never this way.

Monumental

TRACK-LIST:
The Keeper-- 0:00-3:12

only my disgrace,
to admit I need her,
but we all fall from grace,
dust me down and keep her.
to admit I need her,
but we all fall from grace,
dust me down and keep her.

trip hop will always live on for those who know real music

Ten years on, and still. Just. Breathtaking.

ting ting.. thought it was a viber message from him...

Hail to the Queen Andreya❤️

Releasing....

I saw Bonobo and Andreya perform this live at the Chicago House of Blues on 4/20 (I forget what year...). And it was an AMAZING performance and an amazing show! That performance stands out to me quite a bit which is strange because, ostensibly, I should not be able to remember any of it at all. Love the song, love the album, love the artists, you make life so much better! Thanks for the great tunes :)

A really wonderful video. First of all I love the song, the easy living-room feel of it, like a big sofa and a Persian rug. Second, I love the tone of it. EASY, with a quiet back down minor-key smoky tone. Third, I love the circling: it all looks so informal but it is masterfully done. Bravo.

This is lofty rnb dudes.. So chill

The best ever! Awesome

Everyone that disliked this deserves to get their lights cut off !!

Started listening to this in middle school now I'm in college... Wow time flies...

Did anyone else notice that the video clip begins very dark and when she realised that they cant go on it gets really bright? That is art! A great video clip for a great song

Gorgeous!

0.75x amazing

Noticed a lot of binaurally beats going on in YouTube videos lately... With the headphones on I can't help but notice .

you and andreya are the perfect match and you taught me how to love more

And my heart's content
I say that to please her
Happiness is on her face
It's not mine that greets her.
Only my disgrace to admit I need her
But we all fall from grace,
Dust me down and keep her.

A master work.

perfect at speed 1:25 ..

No word.Just listen to this masterpiece.

I was actually listening to Andreya's songs and then, all of a sudden, Bonobo appeared. ❤

published 2009! i cant believe it still resonates with me today.
still standing by Bonobo, Andreya Triana and Ninja Tune in 2017.
beautiful music by beautiful people for beautiful people.

Would you happen to know where to find the acapella version of this song? Its just her singing and the guitar. I've heard it before but cant find it online.

smoking vocals, love is the answer Thankyou x

I know she said,
That I don't need her,
cause everytime I call,
she's sitting sweeter,

I know she said,
to get near her,
but I'm feeling cold,
and I must leave her.

Sat down here with my head hung down
and I just seem to find
a bit of peace,
a bit of love,
a bit of something left behind.

Sat down here best intentions,
nothing said, nothing lied,
a bit of peace,
a bit of love,
a bit of something left inside.

And my heart's content,
I say that to please her,
happiness is on her face,
it's the mind that greets her,
only my disgrace,
to admit I need her,
but we all fall from grace,
dust me down and keep her.

Sat down here with my head hung down
and I just seem to find
a bit of peace,
a bit love,
a bit of something left behind.

Sat down here best intentions,
nothing said, nothing lied,
a bit of peace,
a bit of love,
a bit of something left inside.

We shall go on, in this way.
Cause we can't go on living this way.
Cause we can't go on living this way.
(We can't go on...)
(Because we can't go on living this way...)

Listen this in 1.25 speed amazing !!!!!

Switch from normal to 1.25 speed at 2:21!

eu to chorando muito obrigada bonobo por este processo que consiste expressar essas coisas para que estas sejam expressadas depois a aquela pessoa que nois quer falar valeu eh isso segue o baile

Boosted!

I know she said
That I don't need her
Cause every time I call
She's sitting sweeter

And I know she said
To get near her
But I'm feeling cold
And I must leave her
[Chorus 1]
Sat down here with my head hung down
And I just seem to find
A bit of peace
A bit of love
A bit of something left behind

Sat down here, best intentions
Nothing said, nothing lied
A bit of peace
A bit of love
A bit of something left inside

And my heart's content
I say that to please her
Happiness is on her face
It's not mine that greets her

Only my disgrace
To admit I need her
But we all fall from grace
Dust me down and keep her

Sat down here with my head hung down
And I just seem to find
A bit of peace
A bit love
A bit of something left behind

Sat down here, best intentions
Nothing said, nothing lied
A bit of peace
A bit of love
A bit of something left inside

We can't go on, we can't go on
We can't go on, we can't go on
We can't go on, we can't go on
We can't go on, we can't

We can't, we can't (Can't go on, no, no)
We can't, we can't (Can't go on, no, no)

We shall go on in this embrace
Cause we can't go on living this way
We'll be like one (...)
Cause we can't go on living this way

We can't go on, we can't go on
We can't go on, we can't go on

Have you noticed though, instead of the lyric
"A bit of peace"
it sounds like she's saying
"A bitter peach"
... so melancholy

(...) = dont even blink

@dimitri jordania don't even amaze

Big ups for Jason Statham on guitar

I needed that laugh ... nice one!

exactly

Doesn't look anything like him, not all guys with shaven heads look the same lol

Alguien sabe que estilo de musica es??

indie rock

@Luana Silva No. no lo es.

+Paranoid Mustang Buscando descubri que es un estilo downtempo se basa en musica eletronica con sonidos relajantes

Anyone knows any more songs like this??

+TheChevecheve Bonobo - Stay The Same (feat. Andreya Triana)

+TheChevecheve her solo stuff is great too - just saw her live at the weekend Andreya Triana is amazing

TheChevecheve tokimonsta-green has her in it too and I think it has a similar feel

she reminds me of skye edwards from morcheeba so much

TY Lustboy-sama

Amo su voz

Bonobo just understands something other people don't. He works well with other artists. It's like sex for your ears. 

Damn, I thought my wax was whiter than usual :o)

jbaby007 he's decent.

jbaby007 son lux

Black Sands was a straight 10/10. Bonobo and Andreya Triana go together like PB&J. Unfortunately his newer stuff hasn't been quite as good.. But god damn this album was perfect.

Smooth as ever. her voice is simply eargasmic. I can't stop listening to her music. instant fan numero uno!
