Declan McKenna - Brazil (Reading 2021)

[@waitwho19]

Wrote it at 15 years old. that’s incredible

[@anaangel6433]

That's fucking amazing

[@idlyblare]

Rightttt wow

[@nathilism]

and handed it in as his GCSE music composition, after it had gotten radio play. What a flex.

[@zybrid204]

That’s well class

[@lemonlazer5687]

With a very experienced and talented producer/writer

I have no clue what he put in this song but it hits so hard every time

pure passion never gets old

[@asiangf1384]

declan is the only one who has a pass with his voice breaking during a song because it just fits so *well*

[@clockworkorange6449]

he played it off incredibly well

[@rosenthendu6502]

I think that voice crack....is on purpose though....in the recordings....he cracks his voice towards the end...

[@DglMaster2012]

And sia

[@georgewilliams1225]

I think Declan's new music fantastic, but it's great to know he will always have this song to play near the end of a set.

[@tritontypebeat]

what a feeling it must be so hear thousands of people sing every word to your song

[@rachellauren3469]

I remember walking past Declan at Reading Festival in 2014 - I think Brazil had about 10-15k views back then? I was too shy too approach him at the time but it's so cool to see him now playing the main stage after once just being a festival goer!!

[@cinna.mallow]

Ikr I remember seeing him at bbc introducing, it's so cool to see his growth!

What an Incredible voice, only gotten better through the years

[@death_knell]

Probably one of the best live performers I’ve ever seen

[@thomasskingle238]

Probably cause he uses minimal/ no autotune on his songs so he can get closer to the recorded version in his live performances.

[@intoxicatexd]

I’m so excited to see him perform this at reading 2023!

I heard you sold the Amazon To show the country that you're from Is where the world should want to be For a fine something all people need I'm faithless now Though we win every time and I don't know how 'Cause I haven't bought you and I haven't sold me But the people are dying to, to get on TV [Chorus] I heard he lives down a river somewhere With six cars and a grizzly bear He got eyes, but he can't see Well, he talks like an angel, but he looks like me [Verse 2] Oh, Lord! What have I become? I'm the face of God, I'm my father's son I'm not what you think you see I know you can't eat leather, but you can't stop me Why would you lie, why would you lie about how you feel? I've got a mission and my mission is real Because you've had your chances, yeah, you've had enough I'm gonna burn your house down to spread peace and love And it gets me down Oh, Lord, how it gets me down [Chorus] I heard he lives down a river somewhere With six cars and a grizzly bear He got eyes, but he can't see Well, he talks like an angel, but he looks like me Oh, Lord! Oh, Lord! [Bridge] I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil 'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game while out in Brazil 'Cause it's all you've ever wanted, and it's all that you want still Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil? I wanna play the beautiful game while I'm in Brazil 'Cause everybody plays the beautiful game while out in Brazil It's all you've ever wanted, and it's all that you want still Don't you wanna play the beautiful game out in Brazil? (Oh yeah!) [Chorus] I heard he lives down a river somewhere With six cars and a grizzly bear He got eyes, but he can't see Well, he talks like an angel, but he looks like me I heard he lives down a river somewhere With six cars and a grizzly bear He got eyes, but he can't see Well, he talks like an angel, but he looks like me
