[@DocFranko]

Elliphant is soooooo awesome! People discussing her Swedish/jamaican accent and disliking that do not see the THING in total she is doing. Its her very own. Her style in a bigger Picture is brilliant. So cool, keep on doing that!

[@SubzeroRam]

Thank You "That Awkward Moment" for this amazing song!!!!

[@shafiAUH]

"That akward moment" movie took me here

[@Kiingpoppa]

Im actually in love with her and her voice..

[@kimba209]

[@drzjivago100]

Elliphant is a very special artist. She refuses conformity. Never stick to one genre and has made me listen to music I wouldn’t have otherwise. She is simply amazing. OH, AND THIS IS THE SONG WHICH OPENED ALL THAT UP FOR ME❤

[@byalola8158]

She should be more famous my opinion.............Love her style!

[@CoIdHeat]

Outstanding song and video

[@2kooolkid]

Remind me of something Santigold would have done. love it.

[@tayottt]

I totally agree. I've heard a few of her songs and they sound like lighter versions of Santigold's "Master of My Make Believe" album. It's great.

[@TheRodas14]

santigold YEAH

[@426buffy]

Santi is way better than her with no doubt but mixing genres what she is trying to do is nice job. She still has so much way to go to be like Santi.

[@tayottt]

426buffy True!

[@tatianaryzhaya]

We are waking up in a pile of shit The whole bay is full of it And it keeps growing out of our ears But we keep swimming in this wide oceans of salty tears I could use a break, me need to go down, down, down, down on life I need you to take all my shadows for a walk tonight I could use a break, me need to go down, down, down, down on life I need you to take all my shadows for a walk tonight Down the central of your sensual sense Freak more freaks now while I got the chance But keeps on cool dubs, don’t waste the odds The day is soon to come when you’re gone Need it all I say I could use a break, me need to go down, down, down, down on life I need you to take all my shadows for a walk tonight I could use a break, me need to go down, down, down, down on life I need you to take all my shadows for a walk tonight Like leaves That days are falling not tell me why … carry for a while but it will fall to the ground Please stay, life is a calling Life not a waiting life is running away But long after you’re gone, your question would still be answered If you’re here, now you’ll be a … forever I could use a break, me need to go down, down, down, down on life I need you to take all my shadows for a walk tonight I could use a break, me need to go down, down, down, down on life I need you to take all my shadows for a walk tonight

[@xnabber]

you'll be a gone forever. :)

[@glenneric1]

Tatiana Ryzhaya I think her enunciation is off somewhat. From context clues it sounds like "The whole bed is full of it", "And hair keeps growing out of our ears" After all you don't wake up in a bay and shit doesn't grow from your ears. Heh hee.

[@tatianaryzhaya]

Glenn Clark those are actually the lyrics of the song genius.com/Elliphant-down-on-life-lyrics

[@glenneric1]

Tatiana Ryzhaya I think those lyrics are "contributed" by listeners like us. They can get it wrong. I saw another fan site claiming "Eggs growing out of our ears". Whatever. It's a good song.

[@tatianaryzhaya]

Glenn Clark hahahaa "eggs growing out of our ears" )))) so beautiful song and also has much space for creativity ^_^

[@courtneykurtenbach2230]

Man, what is with everyone getting on her about the way she sings? You know a lot of people have a very different sounding singing voice from the way they talk. Like how some British people lose their accent entirely when they sing. But you dont call that highly offensive. It's just her singing style that I'm sure has something to do with her Swedish accent mixed with a unique vocal style.

[@spasticwolf]

It's not a Swedish accent mixed with a "unique vocal style". Sounds like she's attempting to incorporate a Jamaican accent and failing hard at it.

[@ingriiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

spasticwolf And how do you know? You're just pretending you know shit. And you obviously don't.

[@spasticwolf]

I know shit because I'm not an uncultured swine unlike you. I listen to all types of music and I know when culture is being appropriated. Don't be ignorant.

[@ingriiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

spasticwolf You listen to all types of music?! Wow that's amazing, then you must know everything... Well no, I believe you are both ignorant and uneducated. (I really enjoyed the compliment about me being a swine. Must say, I really deserved that one).

[@navishacharya1411]

I can so relate. I found it cool at first time though

[@chehystpewpur4754]

bro im tellin you. shes got a voice that matches the style so well. look up alborosie hes an italian that loved reggae so he moved to jamaica. they disrespected some white guy so he turned that bad name into his legacy. hes good kingston town was one of his best. shes one in the same she traveled and picked up some good stuff and the energy and heart/soul she puts into her music has me listening to it way too much. and yet ill never be able to get enough. shes good and i hope she gets to make it man just like i hope we all do.

[@MiotaLee]

I have listened to this song countless of times on youtube, yet I've never watched the video... I regret watching it now.

Non Ofyourbusiness ??? "fake" and her tone may maker sound it... soo.... yeah

[@Chernvme]

When you sing it digs into the depth of who you are. Some just use tech to make their mediocre sound famous. To actually bear yourself is to truly sing. I know when I do my accent is more true to My life and the people who were in it. JS. I don't know her reasoning but art is a representation.
