Howard, Ben - Nica Libres At Dusk Lyrics






Door is locked
My gums are bleeding
Outside she reads
Outside she's reading
The evacuation procedure out loud
Clothes are off
My health receding
Somewhere she dreams
Somewhere she's dreaming
The Caribbean
Nica Libres at dusk

While the faithful dispose of a generation
And all of the mountains whisper knowingly
I order a Colada
And sit, count my dollars
And watch eagles soar in circles
Perpetually

Door is locked
My gums are bleeding
Outside she reads
Outside she's reading
The evacuation procedure out loud
Clothes are off
My health receding
Somewhere she dreams
Somewhere she's dreaming
The Caribbean
Nica Libres at dusk

While the faithful dispose of a generation
And all of the mountains rumble knowingly
I order a Colada
And sit, count my dollars
And watch eagles soar in circles
Perpetually

Forever, forever such a beautiful thing

Now I'm older
The knock over my shoulder
I know what is there in front of me
Ten Marlboro cigarettes
The rolled butts into the bottle tops
Today I will stand at the sea
Turn my eyes in front of me

Now, is there a now?

    Aye or maybe he just went for a stroll.

  15. A.... P....

    Last year I was extremely sick bedridden for months. In and out of hospitals. I found this song and laying in bed one night It helped me accept the fact that my life was going to come to an early end. It is now almost 2 years later and I'm in my final month of treatment. And hearing this song reminds me of how far I've come since then.❤ what a time to be alive.❤😭

  16. K.... H....

    Tja das is halt Musik die nur der Mr Howard kann ;–)

  17. S.... S....

  18. X.... ....

    I guess it's all about context... listening to this song in the context of current affairs makes me think of this song as much darker than many people here do. I think the song is about the mid stages of a global apocalypse. The man has managed to find himself in the relative peace of the tropics (perhaps only in his mind). His gums are bleeding, one of the early signs of radiation exposure. His clothes are off and have been discarded, to prevent further contamination. His acknowledges that his health is fading.

    He's in a secured area, where his female companion was studying the evacuation instructions, but he has resigned himself to the inevitable. He counts his money, but it means nothing. The eagles circle overhead -- they are always circling -- looking for the weakest as the world dies. He says he'll look at the sea, smoke a cigar, dream of ordering a colada, and look back at what was, as dusk falls and the light and life fail while gentle piano lounge music plays in his head.

    holy shit yur right

    X.... ....

    @James Lundberg There are two more lines that indicate a possible man made catastrophic event:

    While the faithful dispose of a generation
    And all of the mountains whisper knowingly

    There's been a holy war waged by at least one side that had no hesitation in sacrificing a generation of itself for its cause. Which religion or ideology is anyone's guess. But the mountains that have exisited before humans have seen this all before. Unlike human life, they're still here, and they always will be.

    I almost think that the woman mentioned isn't with him. She didn't survive. She was outside reading the evacuation orders aloud -- and something happened to her. She's only there in his memory of their lives in the days before. He's alone now, dreaming of the place she and he always wanted to be, and in his mind, they're there, drinking coladas and enjoying a fine cigar as darkness falls.

    After a year of more money making relentless garbage on the main radio stations here in the uk I find myself reaching to play more of Ben Howard a true master of music

  20. N.... G....

    My absolute favourite artist i love every song he makes.

  21. M.... D....

    ❤👏

  22. D.... A....

    Complete Genius!!!!!!

  23. i.... t....

    Ben Howard is the salt in my tears, _Jesus Christ_ 😩🤦🏼‍♀️

  24. H.... L....

    He must be influenced by Radioheads new stuff. I love this song!

  25. O.... S....

    Just found out about this artist and I’m in love .

  26. x.... ....

    We casually bide our time, helplessly, while the world crumbles.

  27. �.... V....

    Il y a quelque chose de magique dans les arrangements de cette chanson. Je succombe toujours ; je deviens ému, et quelque chose s'ouvre dans mes poumons. Je suis content que ça existe.

  28. a.... p....

    what is a nica libre

    a.... p....

    YURRRRRRRRRRRR MOM

  29. W.... ....

    "Nica libres" refers to a cigar brand from Central America, Nicaragua, and as the title suggests, this song is centered on the person who it's subject (which at some points is the singer). Ben Howard was surfing in Nicaragua around 2016 and speding a lot of time in the caribbean part of that country with coladas (also native in that region). Indeed the song is centered on spending a considerable amount of the time just chillin. "Watching eagles soar in circles".

  30. G.... A....

    Me encantó. Please come to Mexico, I will love to see all of you preform.

  31. h.... ....

    I really hope he tours the USA again 😍 Had the best time traveling across the country...made it to three shows and I’d do it again 😎

  32. L.... M....

    Ben pacing out the upcoming raid lol see dem UFOs

    I think he’s looking for oats in a dried up river bed

  39. C.... C....

    Love you Ben.

  40. L.... B....

  45. C.... C....

  47. D.... M....

    What happened Ben? Why are you so depressed in this album...

    D.... M....

  60. c.... Z....

    This song at Red Rocks..... fucking superb!!

  61. A.... S....

    I was walking the West Highland Way in Scotland in summer 2018 on my own. It was day 5 and I got up early to proceed with the hike. It came to a moment that I was walking through a pine forest near Loch Lomond completely alone. Streams of sunlight fell through the branches of the pines and there was nice smell of early morning mountain dew. The whole trip I did not listen to music because I wanted to listen to the beautiful sound of the birds but for this song I made an exception that day and I listened to this song while walking through this forest and you can guess it: it was a truly magical experience. Thanks Ben Howard for your gift.

  62. a.... b....

    Still love this

  63. D.... 1....

    Best song ever made...

  64. S.... C....

    Thank you Ben, for just being you. Your not trying to be something your not. Even though your famous now, you stay humble, grounded and Real. Much 💜 & Respect....blessyourheartmydear.

  65. m.... t....

    Discovered Ben Howard in 2015 with wolves. Now rediscovering him with this masterpiece. Amaze balls

  66. X.... f....

    A melhor música da historia, parabéns ben, vc e fera no que faz

  67. M.... P....

    Some songs exist to show us how good life is and there's still beauty in the world. I have anxiety crisis and panic attack, I'm always thinking about the future, the choices I've made and missed... And these things makes me a worried person. This week I was coming home on a rainy night, then this song started to play on my Spotify, in the first few seconds I was in a mesmerzing moment, out of this world, no worried thoughts in my head, just feeling this masterpiece, while I watched the rain falls down and the drops drip into the window, a cold wind in my face and the trees swaying patiently. That moment and the songs I listened while I was on that road, will always be a part of my mind and when I start to think too much and forget that life is simple thing and it has to be lived in the simplest way possible, I will go back to this memory. Thanks Mr. Howard!

    M.... P....

    Music is a powerful healer, we are bombarded with doom and gloom by the media ect, that we forget there is still much beauty in the world, and in people. I do hope you find many more times when you feel that life is good for you. 🕉 💖

  68. N.... A....
