Yael Naim – Far Far

    |
You may have heard Yael Naims “New Soul” in ads for the new MacBook Air. We’re featuring another track from her self-titled album here. “Far Far” has a lulling, intoxicating rhythm – the instruments working within this frame to create a bit of beauty in which the pieces fall together like clockwork. Above it all, Naim’s sweet and fluttering vocals guide the listener into some sweetly melancholic places.

Lyrics to “Far Far” by Yael Naim
Far far, there’s this little girl
she was praying for something to happen to her
everyday she writes words and more words
just to spit out the thoughts that keep floating inside
and she’s strong when the dreams come cos’ they
take her, cover her, they are all over
the reality looks far now, but don’t go
How can you stay outside?
there’s a beautiful mess inside
how can you stay outside?
there’s a beautiful mess inside
oh oh oh oh
Far far, there’s this little girl
she was praying for something good to happen to her
from time to time there are colors and shapes
dazzling her eyes, tickling her hands
they invent her a new world with
oil skies and aquarel rivers
but don’t you run away already
please don’t go oh oh
How can you stay outside?
there’s a beautiful mess inside
how an you stay outside?
there’s a beautiful mess inside
Take a deep breath and dive
there’s a beautiful mess inside
how can you stay outside?
There’s a beautiful mess
beautiful mess inside
Oh beautiful, beautiful
Far far there’s this little girl
she was praying for something big to happen to her
every night she hears beautiful strange music
it’s everywhere there’s nowhere to hide
but if it fades she begs
“oh lord don’t take it from me, don’t take it”
She says, “I guess i’ll have to give it birth
to give it birth
i guess, i guess, i guess i have to give it birth
i guess i have to, have to give it birth
there’s a beautiful mess inside and it’s everywhere
Just look at yourself now
deep inside
deeper than you ever dared
there’s a beautiful mess inside
beautiful mess inside
