[@chris_jorge]

That groove on the first 20 seconds omg!

[@sharonolubakin5000]

Amazing vocals great control

[@domesticengineerlifecoach6938]

I love the scared innocent look on her face when she realizes she can't hear her self on her headphones. And then they fix it. She gets back into her zone.😘 This woman is PURE TALENT!

[@Weymire]

Oh, I noticed that emotion on her face but didn't quite understand what was that, now it makes sense, thanks :D

[@chiquita7070]

[@hexlic]

[@Abrahamhamham]

I don't see it, but why not.

[@Schyderap]

@@Abrahamhamham It could work, the questions is who would take creative lead

[@airuniverse10]

omg that would be amazing.

[@kkv6124]

Never thought about it but that would sound amazing 👏.

[@co3980]

intensley beautiful: special minds composed this. deeper than deep.

[@noluthandomlondo2133]

Little Dragon = Amazing !

[@Facewest]

Of Yukimi’s music this my favorite. I listen Cat Rider almost every night in repeat to fall to sleep. I wish she would make more music like this. Here voice is incredible when she uses it like a musical instrument. I hope she makes an album based on this higher level of vocal excellence.

[@marrrweee]

Little dragon you have always been & always will be my favorite band. p.s this is my first comment on KZbin ever and I have been using it for 15 years & im 25. But old on the inside. So anyway u rlly mean a lot to me guys. Love

[@bernlin2000]

My god...it's perfect. What else can you say?

[@herzeliedstein573]

Little Dragon is its own genre I love them so much

[@meyrukii4542]

Absolutely brilliant. A masterpiece in lyrics. Unfortunately, the sheep will never get it...

[@keepingfit982]

Watching the full version leads on to meaning of song but yeah very underrated artist l think

[@imfromtheinternett6155]

@@keepingfit982 little dragon has been one of my favorites for so long . This whole album is a diamond . It’s something I can always listen to and there aren’t too many albums I can listen to in their entirety . .

[@kabelomaboha547]

The vibe of this song is so unique and sublime! Love it!

[@imfromtheinternett6155]

[@bempst550]

You absolutely crushed it! This was so enjoyable. Thank you.

[@user-uv7wg5gy2u]

Two months ago now Since she came around this house Her answering machine's full He thinks listening could give her doubts But when this girl's made up her mind She's made up her mind, made up her mind Looking out to the horizon No turnin' back, no wastin' time Smooth cat rider Stop bragging 'cause she broke your facade Don't we all want to be stars and all? Stop playing with the one that you love Smooth cat rider Stop bragging 'cause it's gone to your head So smooth, but she was smart instead Stop playing with the one that you love A fountain in the hall Big old portraits of himself on the wall A diamond sculpture face This peacock is flying all over the place The tiger's extra claws, no, she's not impressed Your laughs and stupid jokes, the only thing she missed Now you can't stop looking back Leaving messages Smooth cat rider Stop bragging 'cause she broke your facade Don't we all want to be stars and all? Stop playing with the one that you love Smooth cat rider Stop playing 'cause it's gone to your head So smooth, wish you were smart instead Stop playing with the one that you love Empty bottles, where to go next Knowing what you truly missed It's too late, can't rewind it Can't get out your king-size bed Now you're left with names to forget Trying to heal from the pain If only you could rewind it Would not have acted the same Smooth cat rider She broke your facade Smooth cat rider Mmhmm

[@endureandsurvive]

Amazing performance and talent. Wow.

[@GreedomWorldwide]

[@bluesilkdesigns]

I love Yukimi in this lol she looks kinda confused like they found a girl jogging outside and asked her if she could sing a song for them

[@senpaiwoof2268]

Breh lol my exact thoughts

[@kerriowsley3080]

Heated that they didn't perform this when they came in town last year...

[@ac43childz]

The dragon looks like it was gonna come out at :28

[@Paylala]

And again at 1:55. I was actually expecting her to just cut it. She looked so confused and annoyed. And 3:48 = "are we done yet?" AND AGAIN at 4:11 Erik is just like "nothing to see here!" The entire song. God love him.

[@jhendry4584]

She is a great singer

[@cbez9473]

Thanks for introducing me to a few Swedish things I wasn't aware of. Yeah lots of good quality Swedish brands and cultural outputs out there. Check out videos with the Swedish economist Johan Norberg: educational, enlightening, and entertaining (also good documentaries with him on Amazon Prime video)
