Little Dragon - Fortune Lyrics






Mountain of pearls to sooth the soul
Gold and silver and silk to cover the old
Clocks and rubies crushing these hard bones
I'm going blind from to many shiny stones

Fortune cast a curse I knew it would
Fortune bury you
I knew it would

Sleep on ugly dreaming wave
Vivid life turn into grey
No friends want to stay around
So moving on to a different part of town
Fortune cast a curse I knew it would
Fortune bury you I knew it would

    "Fortune"

    Mountain of pearls to sooth the soul
    Gold and silver and silk to cover the old
    Clocks and rubies crushing these hard bones
    I'm going blind from to many shiny stones

    Fortune cast a curse I knew it would
    Fortune bury you
    I knew it would

    Sleep on ugly dreaming wave
    Vivid life turn into grey
    No friends want to stay around
    So moving on to a different part of town
    Fortune cast a curse I knew it would
    Fortune bury you I knew it would

    "THE DEFINITION OF  NEO-SOUL"
    Neo-Soul is a timeless musical genre that fuses real instrumental, Jazz, contemporary R&B and 1970s-style soul,funk,and rock with some elements of hip-hop. As it's name (new soul) implies, Neo-Soul music is essentially modern-day soul music, with contemporary attitudes and sensibilities. It differs from contemporary R&B in that it's organic and obviously more soulful,and it also tends to have deeper messages and meanings than R&B.

    Not to be rude but this beat is terrible

    B.... C....

    I disagree, and find their raw drum sound to be a big part of their charm.

    Q.... &....

    thanks a lot!!!

  37. Y.... C....

    Sensational track!

  38. h.... ....

    What makes you think I do drugs?
    Was it the well structured remark I made?
    Aww shit. You got me! I'm an addict to sentences that make sense. :)

    Or did you simply answer to the wrong comment because you're probably on drugs? ^^
    =)

  39. h.... ....

    It's the official video. That's why he's rasing his eyebrows. It's just a joke :) The one who asked obviously didn't know: "Is it your work?"...
    "(cough)Ehem .... off course it's mine"^^ suggesting that really it isn't.
    If you don't know the video it's easy to miss that joke.

  40. J.... B....

    I really love this group!

  41. B.... D....

    *loads bowl and smokes and expands upon the greatness inherit in the song*

  42. R.... ....

    Great work! *-*

  43. J.... ....

    Congratulation ! You did a geat job, I love this video ! Thanks

  52. A.... ....

    Mountains of pearls to sooth the soul. Gold and silver and silk to cover the old. Clocks and rubies crushing these hard bones. I'm goin blind from to many shiny stones

  53. L.... P....

    This is what I call Transistent Psychedelia
    :)

  54. J.... ....

    Hideyuki Katsumata will you marry me?

  55. 2.... ....

    Haha used to smoke to this song too, kind of sad.

  56. T.... ....

    love her voice

  57. T.... L....

    Fantastic song! Animation is great!

  58. C.... J....

    Smoking doesnt make the song better, smoking gives you lung cancer and reduces the ammout of time you have to listen to the song. You also cough over the lyrics

  59. M.... ....

    YouTube limbo. Gotta love it.

  60. h.... ....

    I just can't tell how good this song is...

  61. H.... K....

    yes, it's my work^^ thanks a lot!!

  62. t.... ....

    favorite song on machine dreams... (i think)

  63. c.... ....

    hell naw. I'm not a fan of drugs, but when ever i go to my friends house i always turn up smelling like drugs.

  64. W.... ....

    SOMEONE GET THIS MAN A BAG!

  65. H.... ....

    Almost as funky as the "hearts a mess" music video

  66. R.... ....

    This animation is awesome :) should be the video haha!

  67. H.... C....

    "Wowwwwww(-:"------from HK fans

  68. I.... C....

    Can't stop listening to this song! Cool animation too :)

  69. u.... ....

    if you dont care then why are you commenting just move on we not hurting knowone chatting, you the one who's gone all negative shit talking about od'ing wtf smoking weed we talking about in the right relaxed enviroment sheesh lady.

  70. c.... ....

    okay so i just saw a few comments back and forth over smoking. . . Honestly, I don't care. Hell you could OD and still wouldn't care, well I'd still kinda care. So i'm on both sides of this because i'm just tired of this. So you're smoking while this song is playing, great. . . I don't care. And i know a ton of people who listen to this song stoned, but not all. I know some that would flip out. So guys, please stop telling the whole world you're high, we've heard enough times already.

  71. u.... ....

    you dont need to explain yourself, i totally get what your saying, having a few spliffs enhances the beauty of this music, only ppl who actually smoke weed would understand this, when i went to glastonbury in 2010, it would of been great whatever, but it was an extra special experience with a few spliffs to chill out too, each to they own, im not a habitual smoker, but certain times with the right crowd ive found it to be a very positive experience.

  72. u.... ....

    great song, i could zone out to this music art all day.

  73. G.... ....

    hi, i was really sure this was the official video for little dragon. its one of those songs i keep coming back forever. Anyway , great vid, for me this will always be the official video.

  74. h.... ....

    God, I thought this was an official video or something. This is really great work!

  75. k.... ....

    カラオケ(*´・ω・)(・ω・`*)ネー

  76. r.... ....

    Great Art!!

  77. E.... J....

    IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEE TTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  78. C.... ....

    JS: I spoke up NOT because I am a self-aggrandizing neo-hippy who wears Bob Marley t-shirts, or because I think I am better than anyone else because I use drugs. It's a vice. I'm totally aware. It's just that I've frequently visited the pages of songs I like, just to see people saying: "I don't NEED DRUGS to like this song." What I'm trying to say is that NOBODY DOES. Good music=Good music. Also, I drink more than I smoke, and it's far worse of a vice. Example: I make all YT comments when drunk.

  79. C.... ....

    And you're probably a glib shit-head in real life. I like, or dislike, or 'hate' people based on their individual merits.

  80. P.... ....

    so do i. damn this ganja's good.

  81. P.... ....

    it's like ur trying to imply something to everyone in a really obvious way HINT HINT

  82. D.... ....

    This sexiness is groovy as shit!
    I want this played at my funeral with fireworks!

  83. E.... ....

    i thought this was the official video clip lol very good work

  84. J.... G....

    This is very dream like

  85. C.... ....

    AFTA-1 brought me here, and Im fucking glad he did

  86. S.... ....

    wow those chords pierce through my soul, bumps for the geese.

  87. K.... C....

    i swear i dint blink while i watched this

  88. s.... ....

    Beautiful video!

  89. M.... C....

    I love this! Great vid.

  90. 1.... ....

    @Brrowwnie that's exactly my thoughts

  91. B.... ....

    this song reminds me so much of Lullaby by The Cure

  92. W.... ....

    @HideyukiKatsumata what programs do you use?

  93. W.... ....

    @HideyukiKatsumata HECK YES!! It's really really great! How long did it take you?
