Strangefolk (Complete original version) - Kula Shaker

[@peterjoseph7000]

The thing with Kula Shaker is the B-Sides & rare tracks are the real hidden gems.

[@soraorigins]

WOOOHOOOOOO!! I keep finding Kula Shaker songs I didn't hear yet and this one is sooo gooooooood!

[@MrJasonroy]

[@my2c]

What a tune! It's great to hear it at last. Most underrated band ever.

[@bobbyshafto3259]

Great song,now revving up for the new album and a tour. Desperately needed!!

[@dr.weaklicksofcrashedcurse4535]

Never heard this great one before, it is a mistery to me why it was not on the CD that I bought some 20 years ago...

[@ohwhattt]

[@my2c]

Yeah, it's astonishing the song was put aside. It's just great.

[@kulafan8396]

It was real The way that you came And whispered your name so softly I saw the rack of eternity fall And the jewel there inside shone brightly There’s nothing that’s broken you can’t mend Love is an arrow that you send The folk song There’s nothing that’s stranger When you’re caught in a storm Well how long you try to remember Life’s never ending With strange folk descending On my way On my way

[@TheMcmikerg]

I have listened to the interview, and what I understood from Crispan Mills was that there was a groundswell of feeling (from other bandmates / producers?) against the track being included. Which is astonishing, since it's clearly one of the best songs they've done. This isn't a rough take or a demo, so it's highly unlikely that the tapes would have been "lost" during the album's production - we were already into the digital age - and even if they had, the band could have re-recorded the song!

the sYstem is cruel...

[@ClockworkMusicProject]

This is the first time I've heard this. My mind is blown.

[@ClockworkMusicProject]

Looks like I came back 9 years later to re-enjoy it!

[@JonMerriott]

Thanks for posting this, great to hear this version.

[@Superunknown80]

Wow just wow! Where was this gem hiding all these years? I heard the abridged version on the album but this version is leagues above. What a stunning song, Love it.

[@markherbert4969]

Brilliant -a Very Psychedelic Spiritual Rock Ballad-that’s why Kula Shaker are exceptional ✌🏼❤️🕉

[@TheMcmikerg]

Dunno how this didn't make it onto the album, it's an excellent track.

[@juliopratico9892]

the best track

[@markherbert4969]

Love this -and a nice suprise from an Album I have adored for the last 23 years!?

[@lakes836]

A Sergeant Pepper feel!

[@kulafan8396]

It was real…. It was real…. It was real…. From the beginning to the end Love is an arrow that you send In the beginning was the word And the word was oh kish a vya namaha namaha In the beginning there was nothing to be heard but oh kish a vya namaha namaha oh kish a vya namaha namaha oh kish a vya namaha namaha oh kish a vya namaha namaha oh kish a vya namaha namaha oohhhh…. oh kish a vya namaha

[@jonchapple]

Almost... "Om Keshavaya namah" - Keshava(ya) being a name of Krishna.

Once upon a time, a long long time ago there was a planet floating all alone in space. Miraculously it sustained many forms of life moving and non-moving creatures and they would all take great pleasure in watching the heavens above them revolving in perfect harmonic order. Before televisions and radios existed, before podcasts and internet pornography had even been imagined, families would gather round the fire and they would tell folk the stories to pass the time and take wisdom from the elders. Once upon a time, a god asked a great king 'What is the most amazing thing in the world?'. The king replied that every day a million souls pass into the abode of death and yet none believes that they shall follow

[@braunquartz]

OMG what a track!

[@jjelizabeth5668]

When ever I listen to this song I feel I have fireworks in my heart and soul ♥

[@VegaNadir]

If you listen to the interview with Roger Morton on the 2010 edition of Peasants, Pigs and Astronauts, they talk about that and explain that the tapes were lost for a long time.

[@andrewjohnston4076]

I remember this album coming out, stoned days 😃

[@kulafan8396]

Strangefolk (1999) It was real That terrible night With no signs of life in the darkness Oh for that moment that shadows did pass I could fear it was lost forever I’m standing somewhere in between Love is a child of liberty When I saw that beast And he knew my name It was real it was real it was real Well Saturn was spinning above my grave When life’s never ending With strange folk descending On my way On my way It was real The way that you came And whispered your name so softly

[@AldoOnofre-i1w]

Imagina esta chingoneria en vinyl" con su respectivo aparato, algo acorde, al nivel de calidad y belleza... No se lo que haria, seguramente enloqueceria...de felicidad...si lo tuviera.

[@juliopratico9892]

[@Superunknown80]

Exactly!!

[@vremetal]

Even if I could dislike this, who could tell??
