Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Layla (Official Video)

[@Rrodfer]

Ruban Nielson composed this song inspired by his mother who left her hometown in Hawaii along with her uncle, the song is written from the uncle's point of view and about no one understanding why someone would want to run away from Hawaii, a place considered a paradise Paradises, like perfection, are unattainable, they only exist in concept in our mind.

The guitar is good but the arrangement is what makes UMO. Jake Portrait is the dark horse, his baselines are the hope balances the urgency and despair of Ruban's vocal and guitars. This song is easily top 5 best song of 2023 that nobody knows about.

They just don't understand This isn't the place you end up Hey Lay low Layla Let's get outta this broken place Lay low Layla Let's get outta this town You've only got One bag so it's time to pack it My old man's gun Still in the glove compartment How many dollars you wanna earn? How many times 'til you're gonna learn? See where one tank of gas Gets us in this lonely world Hey Lay low Layla Let's get outta this broken place Lay low Layla Let's get outta this town

The creators of that video from story board through to cinematography and end production! beautiful work! and a perfect match for another gem from Ruban. And on that note - some artists do their best in the early stages of their working life….but the true ones produce consistently high quality work, Ruban belongs in the latter camp and this album is proof. Thanks for the music Mr Nielson 🙏
