Jónsi from Sigur Rós with a new single!

Finally! What you’ve all been waiting for. Jonsi from Sigur Ros singing in English. He just released his new single to his fans, if you’re one, then your in for a treat my friend. I literally started writing this article on first play. How ever I’m definitely blown away! I had always thought that the day they would start singing in English, they would lose their roots and become too commercial…But I’ve got to admit, I love it!

Jonsi  - Boy Lilikoi

“Boy Lilikoi”, is now available to download at Jónsi’s brand new website, for the price of an email address. (A lilikoi is a delicious passion fruit, btw.)

Lyrics:

I want to be a lilikoi-boy-lilikoi

You grind your claws, you howl, you growl unafraid of all colour

You run, you’re free, you climb and dress trees – You reignite

You growl, you howl, you show your teeth

You bite and so I

Go, say no more, use your eyes, the world goes and flutters by

Use your eyes, you’ll know you are

Use your eyes, the world goes and flutters by

Use your eyes, you’ll know you are

Why me, my boy, you burn so bright, do you illuminate?

One day you’re out, you give up the fight, you slow down heart-rate

We all grow old, use your life, the world goes and flutters by

Use your life, you’ll know you are

Use your life, the world goes and flutters by

Use your life, you’ll know you are

Electricity wires are down, rainbow colours fade into brown

I dreamt you were smiling, shifting for good

Courageous boy, now you are gone

And run past the Earth, no place to go

Your spirit is grand, so as the Sun

You are……. (light)

You are……. (light)

I want to be a lilikoi-boy, you…

You grind your claws, you howl, you growl, unafraid of all colour

Electricity wires are down, rainbow colours fade into brown

I dreamt you were smiling, shifting for good

Courageous boy, now you are gone

You run past the Earth, no place to go

Your spirit is grand, so as the Sun

You are……. (light)

You are……. (light)
