This song is insanely difficult... it took my band I almost 10 months to learn... but this song is what got us 3rd place in the Reno Jazz Festival against high schoolers as 8th/9th/10th graders. Amazing song, simply amazing.

WHEN SHE SINGS THE BASS LINE OMG!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like Hiatus Kaiyote isn't real sometimes. How do artists this talented and proficient really exist?

it's a bit difficult to handle how good this is

"Choose Your Weapon" is one of the best neo soul Albums of the 2010's. It's a classic!! Mark my words. This album will be heard, remembered and collected for the years to come because of songs like this one. It took some time for me to fully grasp the genius, creativity and the fact that it's so out of the box. The band again is amazing on this track and the singer touches my heart with such a depth in the melodies she sings!!

Finally saw them live a year ago, standing right up front. Near the drummer. Husband had to catch my ankle cause I left the planet and went wherever these gifted creatures live. Mind blowing. Absolutely transcendent.

when she follows the keys......bruh

That intro needs its own track. With that beat, and that Gothic choir, instant hit.

These people are pushing boundaries.

I used to listen to Jazz Fusion in the late 90's, Jazz Funk- eg Roy Ayers/Jamiroquai, Afrobeat- Kuti, then Nu Classic Soul- Badu, Maxwell, D'angelo...later Amy Winehouse, Warp Records....when I heard this I thought at last they had a grandchild and called it Hiatus. Thankyou

Anyone notice that the double-headed, fire-fisted, track suited ocelot is also married?

I'm so happy this comment section is filled with people who like good music

Next level musicianship right here

one of the greatest song ever written... just my opinion. these progressions are.. just... ARGH!!!

my jaw is literally on the ground!! this is the most amazing thing my ears have ever heard!! my goodness!

This intro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I'm African and this band made feel that i have to visit Australia one day.

I like this band too much to start an argument

This song along with every song on this album is just pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This song introduced me to a whole new world of music. Simply incredible

This song makes me feel the ways of the force.

Amazing how such complex music is that easy to listen, these guys truly are legends

They are the PERFECT band. hearing them is like how I felt when I first heard Jamiroquai. I'd almost fly to Australia to hear em. Love this Band...and I'm 42!!!!!

As someone that grew up on video game soundtracks, I appreciate the vibe this song has

I am truly upset it took me this long to discover who these guys are and how amazing their music is. This is what I have been looking for in a funk band for so long!

Those drums at the 0:27 mark. Man oh man this is good music.

i just love how this is a song about grieving and yet it's so energetic and powerful

Those time signatures mess with my brain... Jesus Christ what a song, perfect.

This always pumps me up whenever I listen. Never gets stale. That’s how you know the song is phenomenal.

I don’t think anyone understands how insane this band is. This drummer is nuts.

Love this song so much. I'm in synthesizer heaven. Feeling this groove so smooth, so cool!!

So complex, yet so satisfying... where has this been all my life?

[Verse] Direct to the old Navajo by the fire Wish we were burn your design Suede and hawk feather entwine me to the time Arizona in July A bell that rings in the chest of story told Meet you in this future bold Sage at key point lead me to his funeral A man lost young and old [Outro] x2 Regret less the knot yes I give you the end to hold And through darkness and earth wet I seek through the land to mould A woman that rests night and day, sweat and tears unfold To undress the burdens that caress the blessed I’m told

She just announced on instagram stories the new album is complete and I just am here bumping this hyped as all get out!!!!

The drum changes and progression changes are so complex and amazing.

This is genuinely unbelievable.

This song shows the incredible range of ALL these musicians ! It took me two years to expand my range to mimic the vocals of the singer. FIRE !! ❤❤

In the past week or so since I first discovered this band - and this song, I estimate I've heard this song 60 or more times now by way of just leaving it on repeat one forever!This song is the EVERYTHING GOOD AND RIGHT WITH THE WORLD! I'm too non-committal and fickle to be able to commit to a "best song of all time" designation for any song...but this is definitely the best song in the world "of the moment" for me! This song is so fresh and unique, and yet somehow also manages to invoke so many things for me! It invokes early 2000's Jazzanova, mid-late 70's Genesis, early 80's Math educational videos, 80's video games, and even the Sega Genesis version of the NBA JAM team select theme! Nai Palm's vocals even invoke some unspecifiable late 90's and early 2000's mid-tempo / chill electronica. Gosh, I'm gushing! I just CANT GET OVER THIS TRACK!!!!!! Whoever thumbs downed this thing is utterly soulless and should feel only the most searing furnace blast of public shame!!!!!!

I haven't been able to listen to anything else other than by fire I don't understand it's been months , day in day out every opportunity I get I can't help myself its majestic you people are magic it just never gets old there's always something new every single time it's like love it's like you're hiding no secrets just wonderful I can't explain

Paradigm shifting music. This is amazing.

digital funkgasm overload...love this

This song is freakin addictive to listen to! there are so many great details, and those drums 💣💣💣

I can't even handle this... so mind blowing! What a vision.

This is my favorite band without a doubt in this current era.

This is where I hope music reaches in the future. This is what I hope people will call real music and watch concerts and performances of. This is what I hope people call real music.

What sorcery is this? Seriously, this song has magical powers. It temporarily (in my case two weeks) makes you incapable of listening to anything else. What an odyssey. Progressive yet accessible. Deep, mystical. Propulsive and soothing. Funky as all get out, and Nai Palm sings the s*** out of it. A modern classic. You can see how deeply moved people are by this song in the comments. Probably the song of the decade.

This masterpiece took my need for such quality lines to new level. The vocals, spared dynamics of loads of accurate notes and rythmics left me lacking words and means to search for better. Thank you, Hiatus Kaiyote. You have opened my ears :)

After all the years I'm still amazed by this outro

This is the best track of Hiatus Kaiyote imo

Still remember the first time I heard this...absolutely blown away

I bow down in musical respect !

I have waited so long for this .....

Fav song off the album!

Best HK song. There, I said it.

Heard this on the radio the other day, Triple J was pumping it. I was flawed but the level of creativity in this song, I just spend the last 40 minutes scrolling down Triple J's song lists trying to find it haha. Mission done.

HOW DO YOU EVEN COVER THIS

The nested quintuplets in the double tresillo is a 100% fire every single time!

My dance class brought me to this song, thanks Mr. Morris for having such good taste in music 👌🏽

2:35 = time to put in both earbuds, if both weren't in already.

I'm listening to this song half speed to really learn all the vocal articulations and it sounds soooo trippy.

There are few words to describe this ecstasy I am experiencing

The intro needs its own track.

This is brilliant, can't stop listening. I must sleep now but I just can't , I want to jump out of my bed and dancing... I think I'll do that ;D

Simon does it perfectly with those synths.

Man.... Heard this song for the first time in years and it's still so fresh, so current, still gets me bopping my head and grooving in the shower😆!

The intro to this is FIRE!!!!!

I need more music like this. Have had this on repeat and playing in my head the last few weeks. so damn good.

THIS IS SO AMAZING YES YES YASSSS

This song literally makes me feel my soul.

Flumes favorite track of 2014

I LOVE HOW MUSIC BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER.... JUST LOOK AT THE COMMENTS !!! YOU CANT HELP BUT SMILE :)

3:23 reminds me of those old dog toys that used to be sold in swap meets, but like in beautiful harmonies. 😅🤩

GOOD GODD this is amazing! DAAAAAMMMMMMNNNNNNN! The composition. The execution/performance. The creativity.

My teacher wouldn't let me listen to anything but jazz during my summer school session so I guess this isn't that bad!

My mood sky rockets everytime I listen!

Best music of the year. Period.

Still listening in 2021 - Thank goodness for musicians who still force thought in music.

I once listened to this song while actually in Arizona in July.

Thanks Tosin!

Lyrics: [Verse] Direct to the old Navajo by the fire Wish we were burn your design Suede and hawk feather entwine me to the time Arizona in June light A bell that rings in the chest of story told Meet you in this future bold Sage at key point lead me to his funeral A man lost young and old [Outro] Regret less the knot yes I give you the end to hold Through darkness and earth wet I seek through the land to mould A woman that rests night and day, sweat and tears unfold To undress the burden that caress the blessed I’m told Regret less the knot yes I give you the end to hold Through darkness and earth wet I seek through the land to mould A woman that rests night and day, sweat and tears unfold To undress the burden that caress the blessed I’m told

They leave most bands in the dust ! Originality in every part of this baby ! It's like they pack 4 songs into one jam !:)

Oh my God -- this music is amazing! Glad I found this band!

I get Stevie Wonder vibes from this song, specifically the song “Contusion”. Pretty sweet.

So I only discovered Haitus last week...😱😱😱😱 insane... the only good thing about this is that I have a really long list of amazing songs to listen to... been on it non stop, haven't come across a bad song yet...

My favorite by far ain't ever heard anything this good

Pure Art!!!...With alot of soul so AMAZING!!

Who's out here thanks to the Jazz Cats and KfAD?

That ending!!!

This song right here needs a Grammy, it's so good

Time signature... I spent a week trying to figure this out... Heres my take: The main beat during the verse (starting 0:32) is in 10/8, however, the phrasing is devied into 3 plus 7 beats. which equals 10. Because 3 + 7 adds upp to 10 the drums can play "four to the floor" without being interruped so that makes the song easy to listen too, in other words its easy to clap along in quarter notes. eventough the phrasing ontop of the beat is complex and plays two sets of odd time-signatures (3+7). (genious if you ask me) On top of that the drummer messes it all upp by playing the one on the 3 + 7 part with a snare hit. so the beat becomes kind of inverted and you lose track of the one... usually the drummer starts the one with a bassdrum hit... but you all knew that allready... enjoy this masterpiece

Thanks KIMBRA for posting this!

Nai Palm makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when I hear her singing.

A friend put your playlist on. Everything was going fine then this song came on. Stopped me in my tracks is an understatement. Beautiful.

Never heard anything like this. Great

FEELS SOOO FLYING LOTUS!!!! fkn value!

awesome, my new favorite song

Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting... I love it!

I don't even care wtf she singing about just keep singing madam

I love this music!!!!!

If my soul had a sound, this song would be a part of it

Omg this band is too much... I'm in love!
