Yeah, I wasn't even mad. I understood. And I feel so blessed. I feel like I was part of the process. Like all our collective waiting was necessary to produce this. Wow like wow. The best personal gift for Freedom Day in South Africa and I'm gonna share it. Hope to experience you all one day🇿🇦🇿🇦
This song reminds me of a vivid memory I can't forget-I was probably 14 or 15. I took a nap in my room and woke up to the most intense sunrise or sunset of my life. My entire room was bathed in a bright reddish-orange light. One side of my room was lined with bookshelves with glass doors, and those doors were tinted in an orange glimmer. I remember waking up in awe. The thing is, I still can't figure out if it was a dream or not.
So sad I can't experience this album and future Hiatus Kaiyote projects with my sister who passed recently. We've always been close but Hiatus Kaiyote was our own language. We were going to be the first to book when you guys come back to South Africa. Thank you for making Magic! Hard to explain how much your music means to us
I have been a singer ALL MY LIFE, countless features, solos on projects, the whole nine. I have work with such an impressive list of people..... BUT HER?.... I would love to just be in the SAME ROOM with her has she sings and creates. I am positive that even though I have over 43 years of classical piano, house, gospel, you name it..... That I would learn SO FREAKIN much from her about tonality, breathing, construction of harmonies (which in my circles I am one of the best) and overall bad ass-Ness in 3 hours that it would change the way I approach music for the rest of my life. Love this and every other project. She is AMAZING.
@@ofentsemore not taking anything away from the rest of the group, they’re all amazing! just giving nai her flowers for being an inspiring lyricist/songwriter/performer.
I never realized the lyrics repeat so often until I actually looked them up. They really managed to make it feel like a traditional structure somehow? Really lovely feeling, this song.
It almost feels like a chant. Like the longer I listen the more I'm convinced I should keep listening because I have to keep the rhythm going. It's almost like it's absorbed me into the mood of the song, and I love it.
It's amazing to me that the song only has six lines, but they are arranged into a full-fledged masterpiece. Reminds me of The Beatles' "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" in that way, as it, too, only had a few lines but each iteration of those few lines made it differently remarkable.
@@sauceysinister7924 nah they right. She’s portraying a baby girl. If y’all don’t hear what I’m hearing y’all really need a third eye. This shits scary.
the fact that she recorded this while really sleepy but decided to keep it in kinda shows me a need to interpret the vocals as the comfort she feels in the room lol
Not only is this song gorgeous, but the production is insanely amazing as well. I can hear her voice floating around my left and right channel while she's singing.
My take away from this song (not that anyone asked): is truly romatinsizing our lives by being present and enjoying the most mundane of things. She creates such a beautiful visual of the room turning red as the sun goes down and she describes it as being inside her eyelids (you get that when feeling the sun on your face as you close your eyes). the raspy warmth in her voice just carries that emotion through so well. Beautiful song and an awesome Band. I must see them live in concert before I die
Its a beautifully childlike way of thinking ... just being in the moment and feeling bliss and gratitude in the simplest of things.. reminds me of when my 5 year old daughter told me our blue shower curtain makes her happy 🤣
I just learned of this group this morning and I’m so glad you explained the song because I’m going on 60 and couldn’t comprehend what the h*ll she was talking about lol I guess if I had listened a few more times I could have figured it out. Her voice reminds me of Macie Gray
@@tysonloveisthemessage7296 I'm 58 and I felt the same way you do about the meaning of the song, lol, that's why I came to the comments to find out, you can learn a lot in comment section most of the time First time hearing of this group today✌️
The texture on this is incredible. The way they panned Nai’s voice, the slightly out of tune piano, the fuzzy quality, Perrin’s laidback style. All comes together for a beautiful experience ❤️
that first low "beeeeeeee" in the chorus is insane, and it just comes out of nowhere. What a phenomenal range, can't wait for a new album to sink my teeth into
I swear, words cannot express how much I truly appreciate this band. Pure musicians thru and thru! Not manufactured, digital, monotonous junk but rather stimulating, unfiltered, soulful rhythms and melodies that pierce deep into a listener's ears, mind and heart. One of the very few and (nowadays) rare treasures of music. Thank you, Hiatus Kayote.
You guys can honestly do no wrong. Choose Your Weapon is one of my favourite albums and with the two songs that have been released, I think Mood Valiant will be just as epic
this song slaps so hard. nothing has given me this much joy in a while!! the bass the voice. aaaah!!! the moodiness. the dreaminess. the visualizations of closed flowers, and back of eyelids, solidtude. mmmm!!!!!!!
I love how everyone is noding according to their respective appreciation of where the beat is. It's very telling. As a musician, I can feel, watching them, how they all "live" this song differently, in their own way. And how bonded they are. All this is composing a picture so beautiful, so deep, with a level of precision in the expression only obtainable through genuine love and complicity. I know why I cry almost systematically listening to Hiatus Kaiyote : it reminds me how powerful and warm being part of a band can be. And the lack of it has created a hole deep as the ocean within my heart and soul. You guys, in part and locally, are filling it in the most gracious way.
I discovered y'all back in 2017 right before going through a really rough patch. You became my new favorite band overnight. Needles to say I've been waiting patiently for some new music, and I'm not disappointed
I met these alien beings in Chicago after a show one night, and Nai told me she remembered me in the crowd because my rings blinded her as I recorded some of the show. 😂 Just getting even, Nai...as I've been blinded by the sheer brilliance of Hiatus Kaiyote from the first listen. 🙏🏽🙌🏽👑💎🌈☮️♥️
Wow.. i love this. My room is literally red with flowers painted on the wall. I painted it myself... when I tell you this song spoke to me on so many levels and made me tear up .. just so glad tht yal made this beautiful art for my ears .

I just got slapped in the face....this song is soooo deep. Nai vocals are intense and production is crazy as hell. So many things happening. After listening to it 10 times I'm still trying to figure out how they did it. This song is a Masterclass. Period
This makes me think of when I was little and I’d be in my room when the sunset and I had mad windows so the light would come in really pretty from all angles. This song just hits! Love them❤!!
Haha nah I heard it with headphones on the 5th play, and noticed her voice panning back and forth, I had my eyes closed and they were wet when I opened them 😂 💦 sometimes music makes your eyes buss one
When I woke up this morning and remembered HK was putting out a new song I was blessed. This one is very different and I adore it. You guys are so versatile and uplifting.
What a vibe! Nai's exquisite jewelery and style always compliment the slightly "warped" vibe of their sounds! I just love how they are a perfect representation of the sound
Hiatus Kiayote is the superglue that tied and binds together out ears, soul, and hearts so we don't drift from soul-transforming music. This new album will be another brick in the immovable foundation of Neo Soul.
Thanks for this, I’ve been struggling through the last 3 months. This beat and seeing you guys was better than medicine. The beat, harmony and Nai’s voice 😍 hit me hard.
@@hiatuskaiyote YesYesYes!.....been trying to conjure you guys onto a Tiny Desk for a year. It would make my millennium. Oh and if you could hit an Outside Lands or Bottlerock Fest in the Bay Area, I would truly be ready to descend. Love you guys. You make magic, love and light.

"And I don't wanna be here, anywhere but here" The piano The drum pattern The bass Nai hitting those "oooh uhhhhhh"s Nai's voice getting raspy towards the end
A male friend whom I casually call my mom once recommended Hiatus Kaiyote to me and I feel like it's some kind of divine blessing... This is way too lovely, my poor heart can't take it!
Hiatus Kaiyote’s lyrics are like Rorschach inkblots. Nai’s delivery is like she’s transforming the English language into something unfamiliar, where the listener can impress their own meaning onto it.
The lyrics, to me, are about an approaching ending that requires entering a safe haven and an ability to savoring the final moments. Red means both danger and gorgeousness to me, and it feels like she’s in a place of great safety, one that is both beautiful and secure. The red hour immediately suggests danger to me, but the way she sings the lyrics makes it feel like she’s glossing over it, so she doesn’t focus on the danger. The sunset in her bedroom exaggerates the presence of the ending (as opposed to it being simply outside her window). The places she’s “in” are interesting to note. A flower and her eyelids. One external and one internal, suggesting that she’s reached a deep place where all of nature connects. The final line creates different meanings based on how it’s sung. “I don’t wanna be” implies she doesn’t want to exist, but then the line is completed by “anywhere but here.” Maybe the “be-ing” is a state of existence that seems fabricated compared to the inner sanctuary of the red room. The delivery of the song is really what ties it all together for me. With each iteration of the text, Nai Palm get more emotive and higher in pitch. For me, it’s almost paradoxical: on one hand, it seems like Nai is getting stronger with every repetition. The way she sings “I got a red room” almost sounds like bragging. On the other hand, it sounds as if she’s regressing into a baby’s voice. If there wasn’t a video, I could imagine her crawling into bed and rocking herself into a fetal position. But it feels like this regression into an infantile innocence IS the strength that she is singing about. It something that comforts her to the point of sleep (the ending sounds like she tired herself out and is being lulled to a haze). To me, there is this complete sense of vulnerability that leads to a profound strength (it is called Mood Valiant, right?) that all beings possess. It’s a reality that’s more real and pure than the reality “outside”. It’s a reality that restores childhood to the point of infancy. It’s a sense of an ending that leads to the beginning of who we really are.
Maaan... They got me through the loss of my grandmother......and I kept feeling melancholy on the 5th of may....I listened to this...the 6th was the 4th year anniversary of her being gone from this world....I needed them ...see u in Cali ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌺you bring me so much joy.....
I hope no one comes at me for this, because I do love Badu's voice. Nai is just so much more refined to me, she just has this coat of polish I've never heard before while still maintaining that raw, queen Badu energy
It is only rarely that passionate, creative, independent souls can converge to create such a beautiful and transcendent sound. I think I may speak for all the fans when I say that your music means more to us than words could ever express, so we will simply say thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
This is a rare experience....deeply touched, physically in Motion and at the same time fascinated by the complexity .... head and heart.....Hiatus Kaiyote.... I'm in love

Most def!
Whole thing is a mood haha
is it the car from the nakamara video ??
Right
It's amazing to me that the song only has six lines, but they are arranged into a full-fledged masterpiece. Reminds me of The Beatles' "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" in that way, as it, too, only had a few lines but each iteration of those few lines made it differently remarkable.
Nefertiti by the Miles Davis quintet also comes to mind, but as an instrumental

I dont know how but she immediately lowers my blood pressure when she starts singing...
A true Goddess
Same here. ❤️
Not only is this song gorgeous, but the production is insanely amazing as well. I can hear her voice floating around my left and right channel while she's singing.

I recommended Hiatus Kaiyote to a lady friend I casually call my tytär (daughter). I'm glad you enjoy it! This song gets me in my eyelids too 😭
The colors, the letters moving, the time into the valiant turns to camara with nai and just hit the vocals gossshh masterpiece ♡ im in lov
Hiatus Kaiyote’s lyrics are like Rorschach inkblots. Nai’s delivery is like she’s transforming the English language into something unfamiliar, where the listener can impress their own meaning onto it.
The lyrics, to me, are about an approaching ending that requires entering a safe haven and an ability to savoring the final moments. Red means both danger and gorgeousness to me, and it feels like she’s in a place of great safety, one that is both beautiful and secure. The red hour immediately suggests danger to me, but the way she sings the lyrics makes it feel like she’s glossing over it, so she doesn’t focus on the danger. The sunset in her bedroom exaggerates the presence of the ending (as opposed to it being simply outside her window).
The places she’s “in” are interesting to note. A flower and her eyelids. One external and one internal, suggesting that she’s reached a deep place where all of nature connects.
The final line creates different meanings based on how it’s sung. “I don’t wanna be” implies she doesn’t want to exist, but then the line is completed by “anywhere but here.” Maybe the “be-ing” is a state of existence that seems fabricated compared to the inner sanctuary of the red room.
The delivery of the song is really what ties it all together for me. With each iteration of the text, Nai Palm get more emotive and higher in pitch. For me, it’s almost paradoxical: on one hand, it seems like Nai is getting stronger with every repetition. The way she sings
“I got a red room” almost sounds like bragging. On the other hand, it sounds as if she’s regressing into a baby’s voice. If there wasn’t a video, I could imagine her crawling into bed and rocking herself into a fetal position. But it feels like this regression into an infantile innocence IS the strength that she is singing about. It something that comforts her to the point of sleep (the ending sounds like she tired herself out and is being lulled to a haze).
To me, there is this complete sense of vulnerability that leads to a profound strength (it is called Mood Valiant, right?) that all beings possess. It’s a reality that’s more real and pure than the reality “outside”. It’s a reality that restores childhood to the point of infancy. It’s a sense of an ending that leads to the beginning of who we really are.
Maaan... They got me through the loss of my grandmother......and I kept feeling melancholy on the 5th of may....I listened to this...the 6th was the 4th year anniversary of her being gone from this world....I needed them ...see u in Cali ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌺you bring me so much joy.....
aaaaawwwww my gaaaawd, it's been a while, Nai & Co.
have a very warm welcome back guys ^^ we've been missing ya'll !
Yasss! I'm here for everything. Cannot wait for this album to drop🔥🌈🔥🌈🔥🌈
I just made the stankest stank face the moment she open her mouth. This is a dope song and really showcases her voice. Reminds me of Erykah Badu..
Could not have said it better myself!!
Hiatus opened for Erykah Badu at Coney Island a few years ago, it was a fantastic match-up!
🤣🤣 ammonia face!!!!
I was thinking the same, this track is very baduish
I hope no one comes at me for this, because I do love Badu's voice. Nai is just so much more refined to me, she just has this coat of polish I've never heard before while still maintaining that raw, queen Badu energy
Listen y’all my soul has BEEN ready for their return! this song is so great 😭
It's like a itch that I can barely get to scratch. Really sticks to your mind.
I just love her , her voice and their sound so much. Its like they build a sound family, where such good things happen.
Is it weird to want to paint my room all of a sudden? The wait was worth it!
Fuckkkkkk I needed this vibe tonight love you
Edit:: benders head nod is so potent and I can't help but imagine that this was so fun to film.
mood valiant is so close 🥺🥺
But so far :(((
It is only rarely that passionate, creative, independent souls can converge to create such a beautiful and transcendent sound. I think I may speak for all the fans when I say that your music means more to us than words could ever express, so we will simply say thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
