Now That I Know by Devendra Banhart

Mid Winter's day it's cold and I know for certain,When I go outside my head'll start hurting.It's a winter's day and I know for certain,When I go outside my head'll start hurting.

So I wrap it up in materials, to keep to keep my head from getting cold.Yeah, I wrap it up in materials, to keep to keep my head from getting cold.

And I said to all my friends when I have kids,I'm gonna want the child to be a long haired child.

When, I go outside to mingle in the snow,My head look like a globe aint no hair on it at all.do I buy a wig? Should my grow my beard and comb it upwards and around my ears?

Well, I can't for the kids to come, No, I can't wait for the kids to come, Say hey babe you go no no barber shop. Cause I want, yeah I want, I know for certain,I'ma want the child to be a long haired child.

Well, I can't for the kids to comeNo, I can't wait for the kids to come, Say hey babe you go no no barber shop. Cause I want, yeah I want, I know for certain,I'ma want the child to be a long haired child.

That's forsure yeah baby that's forsure. When the snow it hits my temple,I want to rush home and put on the kettle now,And warm my little brain and bald headI'm too cold to know if I'm alive or dead.

But, When my baby slips out my mama's womb.We're gonna enter a new life that's forsure.You're going to enter yourself back through your baby's front door.nOw, if want the baby to be a long haired childYou're gonna make that baby a long haired child that's frosureBaby, baby, that's forsure.



-->Devendra Banhart has been one of my main insperations since i first heard his eccentric voice in Toy Machine's ..'Suffer the Joy.' Not only was i turned on to his hippy-folksy vibe, but his voice created an overwhelming feeling of calming inside me. Almost as if listening to him put me in a meditative like state where everything's free and open. Having first heard Devendra, I quickly gathered his albums and studied his lyrics, even going to the extent of translating his spanish lyrics into english. Over the years i have gained much of devendra's sense of being through his music and philosophy on life through his lyrics.
