Local Natives - Colombia Lyrics






The day after I had counted down all of your breaths down until
There were none, were none, were none, were none;
A hummingbird crashed right in front of me and I understood all you did for us.
You gave, and gave, and gave, and gave.

Ohhh, every night I ask myself
Am I giving enough? [x3]
Am I?

If you never knew how much,
If you never felt all of my love.
I pray now you do, you do, you do, you do.

Ohhh, every night I ask myself
Am I loving enough? [x3]
Am I?

Patricia, every night I'll ask myself
Am I giving enough? [x3]
Am I?

Patricia, every night I'll ask myself
Am I loving enough? [x3]
Am I?

    I lost my best friend and the first love of my life, my mother, 11-30-2018. I was her caretaker for two years before she succumbed to her disease.

    The pain I feel right now is described in this beautiful song.

    I love you, mommy.

    I love you, I love you. I love you.

  4. s.... a....

    S.... C....

  10. R.... G....

    <3 Love it so much. Thx for that local natives

  11. J.... G....

    I'm a Colombian and I`m crying my eyes out to this song.

  12. p.... k....

    all these comments are so depressing ;(

  13. E.... G....

    Paraiso

  14. M.... H....

    I love this song so much. My Grammy passed away in 2014. Her name was Patricia. I constantly asked myself after she passed if I showed her I loved her enough. Then I heard this song, and it was so clear to me, I loved her the best I could my whole childhood and there was nothing anyone could have done to slow her passing, her time had come. This song gave me peace. I love you so much Grammy. There isn't a day that goes by I don't think of you.
    Love,
    Maddy

    M.... H....

    Aw that's so sad 😢 my brother died two years ago and I feel exactly the same as you. Stay strong mate.

    M.... H....

    NOO IM ABOUT TO CRY THIS SONG IS MAKING IT WORSE EVEN THOUGH THIS SONG IS BEAUTIFUL AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY BUT IVE BEEN REALLY EMOTIONAL ;(

  15. G.... S....

    just ....whoa...

  16. J.... D....

    so emosh

  17. d.... b....

    One of MY allime favorites. Watched my kid go through a horrific accident and watching him recover from a head injury and multiple (27) surgeries with 3 years of rehab, crushing both ankles, broken hip, knees, etc.......yet he turned me on to this great music from which I find solace, peace and tranquility.

    d.... b....

    im so sorry about your kid ; (

    d.... b....

    sorry for asking, but how is he now?

  18. d.... b....

    As an oncology nurse, I ask myself this question every day. As a mother, I ask myself the same question. I failed at marriage.

  19. d.... b....

    This song is the one that holds a small string between me and my potentially suicidal son. It was he who introduced me to this music and now I love it more than he.

  20. J.... S....

    Imagine what the world would like if we all asked ourselves, "Am I loving enough?"

    J.... S....

    About the same I guess

  21. p.... l....

    This song kills me emotionally because i relate so much. I cry EVERY TIME this song comes on shuffle.

    p.... l....

    +Uhura I SOOOOOO Agree

  22. d.... b....

    These guys are so awesome. Wish they would come to Atlanta.

    d.... b....

    +debra brantley  I was fortunate enough to see them at the Tabernacle.  Even got their autographs before the show. Super Cool bunch of guys. I'm sure they will come by on the next tour.  By all means make it if they do!

    d.... b....

    Thanks, Evil Betty!  I willl resume my search and will definitely make the show should they every return.   You can't be THAT evil if you like this music.  

    d.... b....

    +debra brantley Thanks for the kind words Debra, you wont be disappointed.  I'll be there too, cant wait for the new album.

  23. P.... d....

    Uhm guys, don't get offended but I don't think the song has any relation with the country.

    P.... d....

    The song is a tribute to one of the member's mothers. She was a Colombian woman.

    P.... d....

    @nunovanhalen023 Now that makes sense.

  24. b.... ....

    Patricia

  25. G.... ....

    This track reminds me of the Flaming Lips and Taylor sounds like Wayne Coyne here

  26. s.... ....

    I remember hearing this song shortly after my mother passed away. I felt such a connection to every word, all without knowing that this song was written about his own experience with losing his mother. Without actually saying mom, or death, they captured everything I was feeling in one song. I'm forever in love with then for this.

  27. A.... ....

    So hauntingly beautiful... it reaches my core, my spirit. Not many songs do that. I feel exposed, vulnerable, uncomfortable, moved and comforted at the same time. It's a beautiful reminder of the fragility of life, and how we need to appreciate all the things we take for granted. Peace <3

    A.... ....

    +Amanda i agree

    A.... ....

    +Jeevan Dhamu with all my heart

  28. D.... C....

    I'm Colombian and this song makes me feel so weird when i hear it, and i don't know why, it just happen, but i still love it anyway.

    D.... C....

    @Dilia Cervantes Jaja,sí...Igual me pasa :p,un saludo desde medellín.

    D.... C....

    Dilia Cervantes instead of patrica he need to be saying james rodriguez

  29. A.... C....

    Brings me to tears every single time.

  30. e.... ....

    This song tears you down in a good sort of way.

  31. j.... q....

    im colombian and i thought this song was beautiful, definitely my second favorite from them. :)

    j.... q....

    jessica quiroz

    I just have to know now, what's the first favorite?

    j.... q....

    We all do

    j.... q....

    @runninglyrics probably you & I

  32. M.... ....

    I love this song so much .

  33. M.... Z....

    Am I loving enough? 

  34. E.... .....

    I saw local natives live on mothers day and before they played this song they said they wrote it about a mother who passed away a couple years ago and it just made me tear up 

    E.... .....

    I love how much emotion they put into their music. This song has brought me to tears a couple of times...

    E.... .....

    Not gonna lie it has brought me to tears a couple times too, its a beautiful song just like all of there other songs

  35. L.... M....

    ¡Beautiful Song!

  36. J.... M....

    Why the name of this song ? 

    J.... M....

    Maybe he had this revelation while he was in Colombia...who knows

    J.... M....

    i like ... i`m Colombian :)

    J.... M....

    @mi Moral-es-alta Kelcey wrote this song about his mom, who passed away. She was Colombian.

  37. J.... M....

    I don't think I could possibly understand another song as much as I do this one. The passion, the love, the hope, the exhaustion, Its purely one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard. I can't wait to see local natives in fort lauderdale on April 14

  38. D.... �....

    So good.

  39. E.... P....

    reminds me of my Father... holding his hand on those last breaths.. one day I'll see u again 

  40. E.... S....

    so goood...makes me miss my mom..she just wanted me to be my best and give my all no matter what...I think I'm doing a good job :) I do it all for her <3

    E.... S....

    great :)😊

  41. D.... T....

    I just cried for a good ten minutes. Uncontrollably. First time hearing this band or song. Thumbs up if your grateful to be reminded.

    D.... T....

    Adult man here: also wept.

    D.... T....

    It gets you right in the feels, doesn't it?

  42. t.... ....

    The day after I had counted down all of your breaths…
    Down until there were none (were none, were none, were none).

    A hummingbird crashed right in front of me,
    And I understood all you did for us.
    You gave, and gave, and gave, and gave.

    Oh, every night I ask myself:
    "Am I giving enough? Am I giving enough? Am I giving enough? Am I?"

    If you never knew how much,
    If you never felt all of my love…
    I pray now you do (you do, you do, you do).

    Oh, every night I ask myself:
    "Am I loving enough? Am I loving enough? Am I loving enough? Am I?"

    Patricia…

    Every night I ask myself:
    "Am I giving enough? Am I giving enough? Am I giving enough? Am I?"

    Patricia…

    Every night I ask myself:
    "Am I loving enough? Am I loving enough? Am I loving enough? Am I?"

  43. r.... s....

    so true, so true, so true

  44. R.... M....

    this makes me think of my mom, who gave up her marriage for my brother and I, this makes me cry listening to it.

  45. E.... C....

    This song brings out such emotion, so powerful.. Every day I ask myself "Am I giving enough, Am I loving enough" All my grandma would've wanted. She was very spiritual and joyous. Most understanding, loving person in my life. I'm glad I take after her. Every lyric in this song hits me like a ton of bricks.

    Mt. Washington is Amazing as well. This deserves Album of the year hands down! I can't stop listening to every song.

  46. A.... L....

    i love this song!

  47. S.... H....

    all the best buddy

  48. j.... ....

    I lost my cat 3 months ago, he was the most creature I've ever loved now he's gone and I still couldn't get over it ! this song is really killing me right now :'(

  49. e.... ....

    Magnificent and soooooo intense

  50. N.... A....

    I hope you're doing okay, friend.

  51. E.... P....

    So true. I was with my girlfriend and best friend listening to this song at that state and well, it was intense. just pure awesomeness.

  52. t.... ....

    The song writing is awesome

  53. M.... M....

    I am going to lose my mother in the next few days or week at the most. This song will help me through it. God that's hard to type.

  54. O.... C....

    For being Colombian and a local natives fan I was stoked when they made this song. Freakin love it lol

  55. S.... G....

    This song makes me cry every time I listen to it because I can only imagine how I would feel if my mother died.

  56. 1.... ....

    That's right, no dislikes!

  57. t.... ....

    Two words: What Stage. :) <3 :) <3 :) <3 :) <3

  58. P.... D....

    Nice lil ballad

  59. W.... ....

    ACL 2013

  60. A.... ....

    Sadly you will never get that chance. This song sung by Kelcey was about his mother who passed away in 2011 I believe. Changed my perspective of the song completely when I learned that. You can really feel the power and feeling he put into singing it

  61. M.... R....

    It's people like her that make us ask the same question as this song.

  62. A.... R....

    This song means so much to me. I got to see them live in march and inbetween every song i shouted "COLOMBIA!!!" hoping they would play it. My mom has a few more years to go, and me being only 15, it's tough. I know once she does pass that this song will help me through it, because it mirrors my situation so well. She gives so much and makes so many sacrifices for me and I ask myself "am i giving enough?" all the time. Thanks for uploading.

  63. b.... ....

    This is one of those songs that makes me cry and think about the meaning of life and shit because it's so beautiful

  64. K.... D....

    Such a beautiful song for extremely hard times.

  65. S.... A....

    I came here because I'm Colombian and stayed because a great song!!!!!!!!!

  66. M.... R....

    May you find comfort in unexpected places.

  67. M.... R....

    Thanks for listening. I want people to listen but support the musicians they enjoy!

  68. J.... S....

    LOVE this song!

  69. M.... H....

    Lost my mom a couple of years ago...really feel this song. Balled the first couple of times and now I can just listen and enjoy it. Okay, who am I kidding, I still ball like every 3rd time.

  70. C.... R....

    I'm colombian and personally i loveeee this song!

  71. g.... ....
