Hiatus Kaiyote - Breathing Underwater Lyrics

You are crazyyy!!! 😯

Questlove helped me find this

이런건 몇 십년 앞에서 가쟈온 노래같은데

This looks like a desperate promo video. They're better than this. So sad.

What modern pop would have been if people actually still bothered to become real musicians instead of data processors.

Prob gonna be 10 years till YouTube recommends this to anyone else smh

bakanisimos

I got my kids singing this song the vibe is amazing especially the end i fuxkin love the end of this song

Drummer is a beast. Bassist is groovin. Keyboardist is killing it. Guitarist has some great pipes. This band is the complete package. Weird and funky. love it

So Gooooooood!

Hate finding stuff so late like this.
However I found it.
Ultimately that is all that matter.

Freaking awesome!

Que delícia!

venha mais ao rio de janeiro...essa banda é foda!

Rockschool exam gang?

Sick drummer!

Now this is music 🖤

This song, including the video, is perfection!

Her voice is a mix between Eryn Allen Kane, Jojo, and Hayley Williams from Paramore, and I'm in love with it.

I'm embarrassingly smitten.. "I promise to be goodish my luv" ! Crushing on Ma & her spirit heavy!! .lol

This band let me sleep with a smile of satisfaction, cause now i know true music is not dead

This song goes so hard!! The music singing and arraignment of this tune is spectacular!!!

Nasty. Reminds me of Rufus...

Jesus Christ Youtube, two fucking adds before the song plays?!! You Suck.

Good Music tho...

Gorgeous music, unbelievably voice. Her sense of style, however, is questionable.

My favorite <3

WOW!! Just wow...

great toes

🙏🏽💕💋 such beautiful music

I like this very much,but I like her even more,she is gorgeous and talented,the rest are an ugly hairy bunch but they sound good :-)) great work thanks.Just noticed. this was done over 5 years ago,I'm a bit late on the scene.

Recommending this in 2019 YouTube really? Get your shit together. 😩

Chillssssssssssss

I love this damn group, still bumping in 2019!!!

💧 😍

❤️❤️❤️

599 Jerk

can´t wait to see them in Barcelona!!!!

best video ever

She sounds like she grew up in a gospel choir. Her voice is so soulful ❤️

Has Hiatus Kaiyote and Moonchild made an album together yet...featuring Flying Lotus and Thundercat???

Call me corny, but I see "colors" when I hear music. There are so many colors in this song. I love it.

jeez ugly

APPROPRIATION?>? .....OR a beautiful homage to black music?

Homage i think.

@donnell outlaw I agree

She wrote it specifically as an homage to Stevie Wonder

@modifiedcontent that's pretty awesome didn't know that

After watching her explain the tattoo on her face by her mouth....I was hooked!!! Her spirit and soul are AMAZING

I was curious about that. What video is that from if you mind? I thought it was a birthmark at first now, its confirmed its a tattoo.

@donnell outlaw it was an interview about dealing with the passing of her mother and an injured bird she was helping. It scratched her face before being released after healing. She missed the bird and realized a comparison on her mom being gone. Got the scar tattood as a symbol of them leaving but not gone. She said it better however I just bust into tears 😢

I'm here because I've got excellent taste in music.

UNREAL band!!!!! Can't believe what i just heard!!

neo hippie hipster doof jazz?

Neo Soul?

Love youuuuuuuuuuuu

DJ Spinna Mix .... Hiatus, I wonder if she heard it.. .... 🔥

Tattoo the artery with acute artistry........This is one of the best rhymes I’ve ever heard.This is r&b on another level!!!Keep giving me life!

Interesting compilation project from some of the key people behind/around Hiatus Kaiyote - https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=0hnGd2_A8RY

Hiatus Kaiyote is recording the third album in that same house/studio - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/jul/10/confidence-and-swagger-how-melbournes-future-jazz-scene-won-over-gilles-peterson

Soooo much soul Im crushing 😻

I love this group and this song. I hope she gives credit to the native people whose clothing she is wearing as a style. I don’t like cultural appropriation,

Is she even wearing anything "native"? Looks like a random hodgepodge of stuff to me, like she usually wears. You see feathers in her hair and you think "Indian"? Isn't that like...racist? What native people do you think she is culturally appropriating exactly?

Poetic Smith you are right it is the only way to live in peace. I respect people who honor the culture of others and their struggle through emulation. You must also show that respect by acknowledging who your inspiration is. That is how you share otherwise you are taking.

modifiedcontent it is not the feathers that I associate with First Americans or indigenous Americans as I believe they prefer to be called now. However many indigenous tribes that are currently living and thriving in South America and parts of Asia wear similar handmade adornments and her hair cut is reminiscent of many of the males of different tribes in tiered blunt cut and color- died by the earths minerals...And assuming a feather is “Indian” would not be racist it would be ignorant. Racism is hatred of a person due to social constructs generally attributed to color and stereotypes. Hope that helps, because I didn’t say she was racist nor imply she was culturally appropriating bc I don’t know if she has made it known she wears what she wears to honor a people. It was a statement of my personal hope and feelings on the subject. Too many people unaffected by appropriations are quick to be dismissive and or offensive. It is not simply a black and white issue but stretches across the globe where ppl make millions off of the culture of others, yoga, ornate nails, jewelry - and don’t share even a statement as to where it comes from. It’s disrespectful. In the same light as someone stealing your work and you getting nothing in return but others telling you to get over it or ignored. That’s it, hope that clarifies my comment :)

@Gabrielle Thomas yeah I understand what your saying. She does work with the native tribes and is apart of their programs..so its a good thing she is associating with them and involved with their community

Poetic Smith I really love that and respect her more for that reason. Thank you for sharing that with me!

here from Brendon Urie!!

love you all! for me you are the most interesting group from decade! Thanks. <3

This song!! I literally feel like I’m underwater. Thank you so much for this majestic healing music lord

🎴👩‍🚀

LOVE THIS <3 <3 <3

Tied to the artery with acute artistry is one of the vest lines ever

what a Goddess ~

when I was little I used to believe I could breathe under water, in the bathtub

Ya pasaron 4 años desde que salió este disco che que lo tiro. Y me sigue encantando.

I promise you when they create together it’s pure magic. I feel like I’m in a trance when I listen to this song. Nai’s voice is literally heaven.

No one can touch Hiatus Kaiyote arrangements & transitions.

It’s been years since this track dropped & it still makes me feel the same way it did when I first heard it.

Amazing song, amazing clip, thank you
Hiatus Kaiyote you guys rock!!!

Omg I can't believe I slept on these absolute masters

favorite /Best song on the album (to me )

Reminds me Rufus and Chaka

Wow first time seeing and listening to this. Real good sound. Beautiful music.

One of two of my favorites. The rest I just fn LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lyrics:
[Intro]
The word hurts, the word hurts
The word hurts, the word hurts
In water, in water
In water, in water
The word hurts, the word hurts
The word hurts, the word hurts
In water, in water
In water, in water
In water, in water
In water, in water

[Verse 1]
Material, slowly unwind as I leave feathers behind
For your love, for your lover to find
Warm hands wrapped in blue linen from Tuareg sands sand
For your love, for your lover to find
Wild rose, Jericho sun, arid as stone
For your love, for your lover to find
Aorta, tattoo the artery with acute artistry
For your love, for your lover to find

[Chorus]
Breathing, breathing underwater
Breathing, breathing underwater, ah
Bre-brea-breath you underwater

[Verse 2]
Pleasure, melting a snowflake of lace down your face
For your love, for your lover to find
I could call your demons inside, soak them in Camomile
For your love, for your lover to find

[Chorus]
Breathing, breathing underwater
Breathing, breathing underwater
I could bre-brea-breath you underwater

[Bridge]
To find
For your love, for your lover to find
For your love, for your lover to find
For your love, for your lover to find
For your love, for your lover to find
Bre-breathing underwater
Breathing underwater
Breathing underwater
Breathing underwater
For your love, for your lover, your love, for your love
For your love, for your lover, your love, for your love
For your love, for your lover, your love, for your love
For your love, for your lover, your love, for your love

[Outro]
For your love, for your lover
For your love, for your lover
For your love, for your lover
For your love, for your lover
I want you to breathe it in, I want you to breathe it in
I want you to breathe it in, I want you to breathe it in
The word hurts, the word hurts
The word hurts, the word hurts
In water, in water
In water, in water
The word hurts, the word hurts
The word hurts, the word hurts
In water, in water
In water, in water

Nai Palm is my spirit animal

Fusion never sounded so good

ritmo exquisito

The moment I hear the first sounds of this song I fall in love and I'm completely grounded in my soul

she would do a bomb cover of crossroad is better than a crossfire

Question.. what ever happened to the cover song you guys did called ‘Dare’??? That was an epic version and then poof! It’s off of YouTube... what happened?

Fresh.. jazzy, funky deliciousness...

I love this song

This song need a Kanye verse.

Why does she reminds me of Teena Marie!?!?

Yes she does! 😍

This shits is spine tinglingly sick.

I listen to this all the time at work. I love this group!

you are top of beauty.

Someone just shared this song and it is dope!

make me think of Jaala :)

I guess you know they are/were roommates?

Ran across them by the way of Moon child this muzik is unreal

i love this song <3

Hands down the best band I've heard in 15 years. Nai is being slept on... she may be the greatest vocalist alive (and she's a killer guitarist too!).

their best track. FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've never tried to force a band on others as much as HK and what I can't believe is that I have converted no-one. Perhaps it's one of those bands you just have to discover for yourself. I'll play a song like this and be blissful and others just look at me like theyre not hearing what I'm hearing. Has anyone else found this?

Yes! My fiance loves Amy Winehouse (I'd say Nai is similar to Amy imo, but better), but wont give HK the time of day. But she's usually a few months behind me musically anyways, so i guess she's still got time to prove her worth lol. She's got 2 more weeks to have me catch her listening to them on her own accord or else I'm packin' my shit! Lol. Totally fuckin around.

What's this song about?

Maravillosa cancion

Fantastic!! :)

She thick af





with soul 😘

Soothing ❤️ I love them.

This is one of the very few songs that I love despite the fact that it's all over the place. What a strange band.

Nai palm will always be someone I look up to musically. She is such a bright light. She is too strong and amazing to not beat stupid fucking cancer.

She was about to visit India at weekender NH7 and was not well.
Get well soon
