"Tattoo the artery with acute artistry." I mean Nai Palm be stringing together words like no other. Love this song more with each listen.

[@vechandler10]

jelizen That was ill!

[@adamnugent3553]

Sounds more like "aorta tied to the artery with acute artistry" Such a lyric either way!

[@psyoniksoundz]

Adam got it right

[@deeperingod]

Its actualy like fro said

[@elashalev5331]

Couldn't agree more. She's incredible 😍 And i'm with missfrolab about the lyrics. In live performancess you can definitely hear "tattoo the artery"

[@Spoonwranglerz]

The radio needs to step its game up. These are the future jams.

[@connorlane7878]

chris rhode this plays on Seattle radio

[@Radio_SSB]

i found this on the radio

[@KittyCatComa]

Their use of time and space is fantastic.

[@francestyne]

This entire song is awesome, but that groove from 3:20-3:42 is just fiyah!

[@genesispromotions]

Yes!

[@alext9845]

totally agree

[@keianajohnson1836]

Taking my soul to new heights!!!! Yasssss!♥️♥️♥️

[@ogmamared2114]

Yasss

[@basmith123385]

Super facts!!!

[@darianborneo2236]

I like how at certain parts the instrumentation sound like it's underwater

[@ryleighs9575]

The intro for instance, I like it too, they're such a fucking talented and artistic group :P

[@MrMartell2012]

Yes sir. This is insane. I remember watching them perform this live at what seemed like someone's backyard. This is classic shit here for sure!!!!!!

[@daniaxan]

Lucky bastard!!! I would give everything for watch them live!! Hahahaha :* :*

[@erinkabir3947]

Dania Carolina If you're in the U.S>- they just announced tour dates =) I'll be up north visiting family, so checking them out in Boston! I've been wanting to see them live for over a year and a half now..lol Hope they're coming to a venue near u

[@daniaxan]

Erin MacLachlan I know they'll be playing in the states. I'm in the ass of the world (Chile), so, go and have a great time! Enjoy for me :D

[@MrMartell2012]

Yea I'm going to see them next month in Atlanta. Going to be epic!!!!!!

[@SillyNag]

MrMartell2012 your thinking of the boiler session arnt you?

[@reidprice6008]

Amazing tune, and I could just imagine all my heroes singing it. Stevie, Michael, Erykah...I think that's saying a lot. What a track!

[@ryleighs9575]

That is saying a lot but I 100% agree. Nai Palm deserves to be on a list like that IMO. She's just so unbelievably talented and seems 100% in it for a deep love of music.

[@reidprice6008]

@@ryleighs9575 Amen!!

[@ryleighs9575]

I dunno about anyone else, but (and this is 100% a good thing) this album and Nai's singing, for an aspiring singer just trying to sing along with her, it's a damn vocal training exercise :P It does give me an amazing role model to aspire to, 'cause if I could sing like Nai, my life would be complete

[@stevelacy_supremecy4629]

No because ACTUALLY!! I'm A BAD singer but when I sing their songs somehow I sound good😭 sometimes I surprise myself

[@ebberz813]

I keep repeating 3:20 thru 3:42! I could listen to that little part all day

[@FayeFadem]

They really are the best band ever.

[@QuietStorm26]

if hiatus kaiyote , kelela and little dragon did a song my ears would fall off.

[@nashaunmingledolph6927]

I'd probably lose my life tbh

[@QuietStorm26]

+NaShaun Mingledolph lol

[@GullyGQue]

i agree

[@GullyGQue]

I LOVE LITTLE DRAGON

[@GullyGQue]

& Hiatus Kaiyote

[@pinklotus9684]

If the Hudtus Kaiyote and Sza did a collab, my ears would be completed. 🌻🎶💖

[@skhaze0205]

Hudtus? .... 🤔 Hiatus. . . .

[@ShonTolliverMusic]

Heard this first 3 days ago. Have listened to it 43 times. Bout tickets to see them live in dc. I was a fan before this song, but street this song, I've been upgraded to fanboy status. You can certainly hear the Stevie W influence.

[@jessemanaois3133]

I can hear so much Stevie influence in the staccato style chords in the sections. So good

[@dontyoumind524]

The word hurts, the word hurts The word hurts, the word hurts In water, in water In water, in water The word hurts, the word hurts The word hurts, the word hurts In water, in water In water, in water In water, in water In water, in water Material, slowly unwind as I leave feathers behind For your love, for your lover to find Warm hands wrapped in blue linen from Tuareg sands sand For your love, for your lover to find Wild rose, Jericho sun, arid as stone For your love, for your lover to find Aorta, tattoo the artery with acute artistry For your love, for your lover to find Breathing, breathing underwater Breathing, breathing underwater, ah Bre-brea-breath you underwater Pleasure, melting a snowflake of lace down your face For your love, for your lover to find I could call your demons inside, soak them in Camomile For your love, for your lover to find Breathing, breathing underwater Breathing, breathing underwater I could bre-brea-breath you underwater To find For your love, for your lover to find For your love, for your lover to find For your love, for your lover to find For your love, for your lover to find Bre-breathing underwater Breathing underwater Breathing underwater Breathing underwater For your love, for your lover, your love, for your love For your love, for your lover, your love, for your love For your love, for your lover, your love, for your love For your love, for your lover, your love, for your love For your love, for your lover For your love, for your lover For your love, for your lover For your love, for your lover I want you to breathe it in, I want you to breathe it in I want you to breathe it in, I want you to breathe it in The word hurts, the word hurts The word hurts, the word hurts In water, in water In water, in water The word hurts, the word hurts The word hurts, the word hurts In water, in water In water, in water

[@andremclean4802]

This band is on some next level shit. Damn.

[@kaelayoung52]

I dreamed and woke up with this song in my head. read the lyrics and I cried. I love breaking my own heart.

[@ceasarogrant3829]

They blew me out of the water with this one

[@unimpressedalchemist]

Thank god for Anderson Paak. introducing me to this amazing band

[@TheYoungMuTe]

Alex VonBerg that sample on "without you" 👌👌👌

[@PatrickDirksMr]

at 1:54 to 2:00 So immensely beautiful... It's like late Beethoven... It just tumbles down like a angel doubled over in laughter. Listening to this blurs the line between sacred and secular music. They aren't making music as much a they are casting a spell. Their attempts at music are incredible victories for mankind. Make no mistake. We are dealing with great genius here.

[@tonysizemore1294]

"Choose Your Weapon" is SO SICK!!! Album Of The Year Sick! Grammy.

[@thenameisjennifer]

this music is honestly timelesss

[@Swagolisious2]

how the fuck did i find these ppl i dont know. but whatever decided to bless me with em i thank and will thank every day

[@ForGudTymzSake]

This is my new favorite song in this genre of music. Sounds like Jasmine Sullivan helped her create the song. This is so perfect!

[@RCGB31]

Oh yesss...my Soul smiles every time I listen to your shiny music !

[@ittosrightfoot7625]

I don't know what the hell Fantano was talking about. This album is lit.

[@KiloPage777]

Stopped watching that guy years ago

[@ryleighs9575]

Lol if he said this album was anything but fucking amazing, I no longer trust him.

[@dxzrbeats9638]

They came to Dallas and Killed this shit! It was the first show that I'd ever been to and it was perfect.

[@Shikorina599]

I can't believe people can unlike such angelic music...this is some the best music I've heard in a while...#ChooseYourWeapon

[@newoxvx]

oh wow! this is so good!... it reminds me of zappas style in a way.

[@gregkrazanski]

this is incredible......

[@olias.]

So fuckin amazing. I'm glad there's still something cool for us prog and fusion fans left out there

[@patalbwil]

First heard this band via this magical song that was playing over speakers while waiting around at D'angelo's show in LA earlier this year. Makes me giddy it's so good!

[@KanarisTwitch]

Lyrics: The words (x4) In water (x4) The words (x4) In water (x4) Matter slowly unwinds as I leave feathers behind (For your love For your lover to find) Warm hands wrapped in blue linen from Tuareg sands (For your love For your lover to find) Wild rose Jericho sewn as arid as stone (For your love For your lover to find) Aorta tattoo the artery with acute artistry (For your love For your lover to find) (Breathing) Breathing underwater (Breathing) Breathing underwater (I could) Breathe you underwater Pleasure melting a snowflake of lace down your face (For your love) (For your lover to find) I could call your demons inside soak them in chamomile (For your love) (For your lover to find) (Breathing) Breathing underwater (Breathing) Breathing underwater (I could) Breathe you underwater (To find) For your love, for your lover to find (x4) Breathing underwater (x4) For your love For your lover Your love For your love (x4) For your love For your lover (x4) I want you to breathe it in (x4) The words (x4) In water (x4) The words (x4) In water (x4) Lyrics from the Choose Your Weapon booklet that comes with CD. Formatted for easy reading.

[@hillzwilkerson]

this makes the song 10x more beautiful

[@229rimi]

It's material not matter and Torrington not Tuareg sands

[@229rimi]

Oh and also it's "Jericho sun and everyday stone" lol

[@KanarisTwitch]

No, it's not. These lyrics are straight from the booklet that comes with the Choose Your Weapon album on CD. These are 100% correct.

[@KanarisTwitch]

Wasn't a reply to you. Someone did in fact correct the lyrics, above. I'm telling them that these are 100% the correct lyrics.

[@ta5393]

The chord progressions and instrumentation are out of this world! I loooove every bit of it. Total eargasm for TRUE lovers of all music! I played this to a couple of my co-workers and they were NOT ready for it. Lol. They really need to expand their musical horizons to appreciate this level of musical artistry. Just gotta do your research to find really good talent in music like this group. Trust me - they're out there..you just won't hear them on the radio...hopefully never and more for us. LOL. ;)

[@allyfilostyle]

THIS IS AMAZING! Everything about what you all do is pure gold!! Thank you for your talent

[@makeitup512]

Don't wanna say some cliche shit like "next big thing", but holy fuck this is some proper value. Welcome to the next level

[@dantonlee6952]

This is greatest song ever made. All others can fall back.

[@Vbzu6ds]

you're reaching.

[@GullyGQue]

+Onen Menbarayzz lol

[@modifiedcontent]

I was going to upvote, but no, the greatest song ever made is Molasses

[@DanielSing90]

I just died, resurrected and died again.

[@squiresuzuki]

[@theguyinthecorner1]

LOVE IT

[@jonathanhightower6179]

Thanks Hiatus Kaiyote!!! You're like my favorite band right now and your sound is incomparable...keep on making more music!!

[@gudvibez1012]

One of the most uplifting bands for me right now

[@lew708]

Wow man! The journey that is Hiatus Kaiyote- The music arrangements of this band always stimulates the brain...and if not...you're brain-dead! :)

[@tahseti1113]

Hiatus Kaiyote, Andrew Ashong, the Hics, Nick Hakim, shit yeah!

[@djsensounds]

[@ryleighs9575]

Sounds like?

[@majestimajesti778]

Crazy how this song makes me want to be a singer and I’m a dancer , the power of this voice is amazing

[@Rooster128]

[@MrBarney2107]

[@matthewallen1834]

Joseph Benavidez Nai Palm said the song is dedicated to Stevie, particularly the portion that the key changes, since Stevie's famous for his key changes in songs.
