Now I don't know much about music and I'm certainly not going to pretend that I do, but I know when something sounds nice to me and I know that Devendra Banhart sounds more than just nice. (Also, I'm sorry that my vocabulary only includes the word 'nice' tonight). My little brother Dirk and I can spend hours finding entertainment in his lyrics when we're bored and even when we're not bored. THEY ARE THAT NICE!
LITTLE YELLOW SPIDER
Little yellow spider laughing at the snow
Well maybe that spider knows something that I don't know
Cuz I'm goddamn cold
Little white monkey staring at the sand
Maybe that monkey figured out something I couldn't understand
Who knows
Well I came upon a dancing crab and I stopped to watch it shake, I said,
'Dance for me just one more time before ya hibernate,
and ya come out a crab cake'
And hey there little snapping turtle, snapping at a shell
Oh there's mysteries inside I know
But what they are I just can't tell for sure
And hey there little baby crow, you're looking kind of mean
I think I oughta split before ya start letting off your steam
For sure
And hey there little sexy pig, you mated with a man
And now you've got a little kid
With hooves instead of hands
And oh all of the animals, all of the animals
And hey there little mockingbird, they sing about you in songs
'Oh where ya been? Have ya broke a wing?'
I haven't heard ya in so long
And hey there little albatross, swimming in the air
'Aw, come on you know I can't fly and I
Think we really oughta play fair'
And hey there mister happy squid, you move so psychedelically
You hypnotize with your magic dance all the animals in the sea
For sure
And oh all of the animals, all the animals
And hey there Mr. Morning Sun, what kind of creature are you
I can't stare, but I know you're there
Goddamn, how I wish I knew
And hey there Mrs. Lovely Moon, you're lonely and you're blue
It's kind of strange the way you change
But then again we all do, too.

BUT BESIDES THE MUSIC DEVENDRA IS ALSO RATHER NICE TO LOOK AT. ENJOY
