Kishi Bashi - Bright Whites Lyrics

Tf is going on in Kishi Bashi's pfp tho

These references to other songs sheesh.

the rase rase rase rase from the AKIRA ost was my fave tbh haha

How is this not more popular?

So many puns.

keya keya sorya douse ne,
keya keya sorya douse dame da.
yamerarenai yamerarenai.
douse damedakedo yamerarenai ne"
"keya keya sorya douse ne,
keya keya sorya douse dame da.
taerarenai taerarenai,
douse dame da kedo taerarenai ne"

You and me at the edge of the world
with a pretty little smile for me to see
new bright whites and a cage full of ice
and a naked little canopy to feed my disease

And if you're to smile at me
I could cry by land or sea

After you said that you like Big Red
I opened up my mind and skipped a beat
cufflinks and hands in wrong places and faces
and creepy little movies made me weep

And if you're to say to me
what is mine is yours to keep

Well you know, I'll have to see
if all the stars aligned we could've solved the mystery
it's a partial fantasy
we're living in a land that went astray from history

You and me at the edge of the bed
looking at the faded pictures for you to see and me to see
murder and colonies, land without rivers
raging in the middle of some sad destiny

Take one look to find my eyes
safety's in your inner thigh

Well you know, I'll have to see,
if all the stars aligned we could have solved the mystery
it's a partial fantasy
we're living in a land that went astray from history

Miracle Workers anyone?

I listened to this song all the time in 2013 but eventually forgot about it. Fundamentals of caring brought me back here ❤️

This has to be the catchiest song anyone has ever written

another really catchy song is forevermore by Katie herzig but agree this is extremely hard to stop humming or singing for hours

Hello from Texas!! Instragram @fitness_nutrition

Spectacular Now brought here

Bad Johnson

2.31 bite the bullet

very nice s!ng

no idea what bad johnson is but I came here because of the fundamentals of caring

Brilliant ! Thank you!

Fundamentals of Caring

Trevor forever.

wipe my ass and then get me a slim jim and don't put my clothes on inside out.

Sounds like Paul McCartney

Sounds like Paul McCartney

beauty song. love it.

mcmansion 6 retrospective video brought me here

Reminds me of the Cirque du Soleil. But CDS is able to be understood, haha.

This sounds so familiar! What does it remind me of??

little hint of the shins , for me.

and jonsi.

this song is using other tunes but refashions them into new context, im not saying that he stole any ones music, he is actually trying to achieve that affect so he did a really good job for what he did... im just trying to recall the original works he used to make this tune...

reminds *me* alot of across the universe

Lana Del Bae, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

песня классная, клип фигня

Weirdest music video on the internet. Oh wait, Bjork.

Bad Johnson brought me here

love it

at the very beginning of this music video, I thought I was watching an Empire of the Sun music video lol but it wasn't but it still not a bad song or a music video infact. Good job guys.

i love this song !!!! i heard it in the bad johnson movie 

some of the E6/of Montreal crew in this video, i dig it!!!!!

It are so cute !!

bad johnson :>

Ticket punch ?

Punch ticket*

Is that merril garbus?

Before I downloaded the song I would always wait through those Windows 8 commercials because I thought it was so good.

I was singing in the clean program in Japan !

q loco jajaja

i love this song :)

This sounds like the Japanese Paul Mc.Cartney- Mc.Cartney should let him make a lot of money recording with him just for building him up as a legend.  It amazes me how so so many musicians seem and say they are heavily influenced by McCartney's solo work.  It's like Mc.Cartney is more influential than Lou Reed, Bob Dylan & U2 (for Protestant Rock) are combined.  Amazining, who would have thought it...

The minigame inside a music video is so much fun!

My new favorite song. Last favorite? Manchester - Kishi Bashi :)

THE SPECTACULAR NOW

God, I love this...  Thank you Kishi Bashi!!!!

ps... i kinda like this

omg how hard are these motherfuckers trying to be neutral milk hotel... if i wanted to listen to neutral milk hotel i would just fucking listen to them...

Everything sounds similar to something else. Don't get your panties in a bunch. By the way i've heard neutral milk hotel and I don't really  get where you're coming from. 

You mean idioms.

Thats... A lot of puns

greatiii

You and me at the edge of the world.

どうせだめだけどやめられない！

Lmao zach xD

0:12 black as one is painted 
0:15 white elephant 
0:18 spitting image
0:19 eye candy
0:21 hell in a basket; back seat driver
0:23 riding shotgun
0:28 candy corn
0:36 piece of cake
0:39 you can't have your cake and eat it too; don't cry over spilt milk
0:47 when life gives you lemons
0:56 love birds
1:08 pretty as a picture
1:21 the caged bird squawks
1:22 wear your heart on your sleeve
1:27 under the knife (not really sure though)
1:28 red scent
1:34 admit one
1:40-1:44 she traded an arm and a leg
1:52 unarmed
1:57 golden ticket
2:00 so close yet so far
2:16 cat got your tongue
2:21 sleeping on the job
2:22 I have a bone to pick with you
2:24 bite the hand that feeds you
2:28 blue in the face
2:29 clenched fist blessing; two faced
2:30 bite the bullet
2:36 face the truth
2:38 the bees knees
2:40 when pigs fly

4:05 i don't give a hoot OR one in the hand is worth two in the bush
4:10 once in a silver (blue) moon

c: 

1:34 is "fork it over" (forks on the ticket, and the seller is reluctant)

This video is a lot less weird after reading this, ty :)

@zachary stein At 1:28 it "cost him a pretty penny" and at 1:34 its "a meal ticket", thats why he ate it

Maybe "hold your tongue"?

Once in a blue moon

2:28 count your blessings

... Isn't it spilt milk? not cake.

eye candy,

If anyone knows more songs like this you should please message me!

About the only thing done right by Microsoft is the commercials for Windows 8, great music chosen...even in Japan they chose great bands, Scandal being one of them. Great music.

Nowhere near the only one man...I thought it was a Paul McCartney song when I first heard it.

I thought I was the only one who heard the Beatles in this! Thank youuuuu

win 8 bring me here !

Stuck on repeat.

1:41 It costs an arm and a leg

OH, that's what the burning box was. I knew it was an idiom, but it was one I'd never heard of before.

catfish, lol

Kishi, i love you

1:41 give an arm and a leg 2:26 biting the hand that feeds you

love this song <3 :) Come check out my channel?! :)

Realy surprised more people don't know Kishi Bashi, he's so good! This might actually be my favourite song

Wearing your heart on your sleeve, costing an arm and a leg, one red cent, backseat driver, cant have your cake and eat it too,

This has been played on BBC radio 1. Wow I never knew I would hear it on the radio one day... That's the best surprise ever :D!!

I love this song, i can just imagine blasting this driving to somewhere far away, with the sun setting mmmm ♥

dam this needs more views

Perfecting song for a road trip!

Does anyone know who plays the part of the girl bird in the cage reaching for the cake?

"Key to my Heart" more likely.

i solved the riddle!

0:29 candy corn, 1:52 give me a hand, 1:57 golden ticket, 2:36 face the truth, 2:38 bees knees,

I really don't get what's goin on!! But the the melody's good

2:50 break a leg?

2:41 could be either "pigs fly" or "tossin' around the ol' pigskin" (playing American football). I guess you could say that 2:41 kills two birds with one stone (ha ha).

1:39 Cost me an arm and a leg

Is three's a crowd what the man, woman, and "butler" express?

2:29 Clenched fist blessing

2:03 out of reach

0:31 Piece of cake

3:20 Key to my heart

4:04 a bird in the hand is better than 2 in the bush.

Almost like he was giving him a consolation prize.

3:54 Punch your ticket

1;23 heart on sleve

4:14 - Once in a blue moon
