$ALMØNBØ¥ 堺鮭 only recorded version of "Evalyn.." is pretty great - but when K plays it live 😍 Favorite track: Evalyn, Summer Has Arrived (feat. Kevin Barnes).

Brookes McKenzie my favorite Kishi Bashi song of all time is his collab with Kevin Barnes of Of Montreal ("Evalyn, Summer Has Arrived"). Shimmering, gorgeous, happy/sad summer music, takes you on quite a trip. Favorite track: Evalyn, Summer Has Arrived (feat. Kevin Barnes).

i wrote me a book i hid the last page i didn't even look i think i locked it in a cage wrote a novel cause everybody likes to read a novel... it started with a word, and it started pretty well about a rare and fragile bird that I couldn't even spell on the table i think i left it on the table... i found the last page in the sky, cold and sweet, like an apple oh hello, will you be mine? i haven't felt this alive in a long time all the streets are warm today i read signs i haven't been this in love in a long time the sun is up, the sun will stay The very last breath of the hero of our tale would you only to guess did he truly prevail in the the sequel? I guess I'll have to write a sequel... my favorite part's when I die in your arms like a movie it's tragic, but now the story has it's proper end. oh hello, will you be mine? i haven't felt this alive in a long time all the streets are warm and grey i read the signs I haven't been this in love in a long time the sun is up the sun will stay all for the new day will you be mine? the days are short and I wrote me my last rhyme all the streets are warm today I read the signs I haven't been in this love in a long time. it's been a long time

"keya keya sorya douse ne, keya keya sorya douse dame da. yamerarenai yamerarenai. douse damedakedo yamerarenai ne" "keya keya sorya douse ne, keya keya sorya douse dame da. taerarenai taerarenai, douse dame da kedo taerarenai ne" (in Japanese, "douse dame da" means "probably impossible" "yamerarenai" means "can't stop" and "taerarenai" means "can't take it anymore") you and me at the edge of the world with a pretty little smile for me to see new bright whites and a cage full of ice and a naked little canopy to feed my disease and if you're to smile at me I could cry by land or sea after you said that you like Big Red I opened up my mind and skipped a beat cufflinks and hands in wrong places and faces and creepy little movies made me weep and if you're to say to me what is mine is yours to keep well you know, I'll have to see if all the stars aligned we could've solved the mystery it's a partial fantasy we're living in a land that went astray from history you and me at the edge of the bed looking at the faded pictures for you to see and me to see murder and colonies, land without rivers raging in the middle of some sad destiny take one look to find my eyes safety's in your inner thigh well you know, I'll have to see, if all the stars aligned we could have solved the mystery it's a partial fantasy we're living in a land that went astray from history

and everyday I'd sit with you the moment passed and so did you on Sunday yeah on Sunday I felt the need I could of cried I had the tears I know I tried on Sunday yeah on Sunday I knew the touch I heard the sound the smell that came around Evalyn... the sun is up the summer sky has finally arrived oooo ah, Summer has arrived ah, Summer has arrived oh where was Spring and where was my song it came and went I'm a helpless pawn that's sadness yeah that's sadness the matriarch's of summer's past they torture us with their endless jazz on Sundays yeah on Sundays and everyday the memories dance across the avenue Evalyn...

Oh hello, how are you, my favorite son? In an hour I will go where I've never gone In the span of the space between your mother's eyes are the secrets that I've saved I hand them down to you ooh. The averages and laws, it was every man for himself every child alone Oh why do they shine so bright in my dreams? Golden blades, forged from love, they sever my feet but you know, where they're going, when all is said and done I don't need them or my secrets Just the grace of one here they come here they come here they come... oh hear they come! is everything signed? Is everything done? I'm sorry about the blood ...the devil and his stones It was every man for himself, every child alon Please tell your mother I'm sorry for the strife tell your brother I loved him ...the same to his wife and if you have a heart to take my life away give me something give me anger to remember you today 'Cause here they come oh here they come Is everything signed? Can nothing be undone? I'm sorry about the blood ...the devil and his stones It was every man for himself, every child alone...
