Où sont tes larmes, tous tes mots?
Et puisque t'en a marre de voir
Tous les gens souffrir
Cette notion trop simple et naïve
Parvenir à vaincre une loi
Loi invisible, si injuste
Si injuste, si sombre
Vis ta vie, elle est si belle
Vis ta vie, c'est la tienne
Vis ta vie, sans mensonge
Vis ta vie, comme tu veux
Couleur de vie, couleur de joie
Où est ce feu philosophique
Ton esprit condensé, pulverisé
Subtilé par toutes tes larmes
Vis ta vie, elle est si belle
Vis ta vie, c'est la tienne
Vis ta vie, sans mensonge
Vis ta vie, comme tu veux
Vis ta vie, elle est si belle
Vis ta vie, c'est la tienne
Vis ta vie, sans mensonge
Vis ta vie, comme tu veux
ever wonder what A.I. electronica will sound like?
boom
boy that drum track is irritating
remember when musicians played instruments?
I get what you're saying but in concert, they've got real drums, bass, guitar, sitar, singers... plus samples and stuff of course. But it's a full stage.
Color of life, color of joy
Where are your tears, all your words?
And since you're tired of seeing
All the people suffer
This too simple and naive notion
Succeeding in defeating a law
Invisible law, so unfair
So unfair, so dark
Live your life, it's so beautiful
Live your life, it's yours
Live your life, without a lie
Live your life, as you want
Color of life, color of joy
Where is this philosophical fire
Your condensed, pulverized mind
Subtitled by all your tears
Live your life, it's so beautiful
Live your life, it's yours
Live your life, without a lie
Live your life, as you want
Live your life, it's so beautiful
Live your life, it's yours
Live your life, without a lie
Live your life, however you want I only know one thing; you hold
My joy, my pain, in your hands
You are the breath, the link,
My child king, my magician
[Chorus] :
Nothing belongs to me
But to the south I'm coming back
Drowned in the hearts of crowds
It is in your river that I flow
When all the golden bridges crumble
It's your air that I get drunk
[Chorus]
Unknown territories
I walk through them, I include them
My country, my blood, my street
Are in your eyes, I saw them
i like this song even more now that i know what it says..thank you for your effort!

Your boring is my chill-inducing....some folks feel the need to mash the gas pedal from red light to red light, making lots of noise and smoke....others just are more inclined to cruise....
Choose to cruise, bro...the boring bits can fun too...
Good life advice
Ohhhh yessss! Love me some Thievery in the morning. Great memories, but can it really be from 22 years ago? 🥹
Yes ,you're not dreaming (22) - but still all these years there has never been a dull moment

Very well stated! EXCELLENT TUNE!! Thanx RP!

Just saw them at the Beachlife music fest in Redondo Beach...awesome set. 4 different singers all rotating throughout the set...still have some chills.
I saw them in Amsterdam in July - unreal! One of the most exciting live concerts I've ever been to. Very talented musicians, and great performers.
"Profoundly Superficial" does make a good band name though. Anyhow, as to your question about the singer: her name is LouLou Ghelichkhani; she's American-born, but I believe she grew up in France.
LouLou Ooldouz Ghelichkhani was born in San Jose California. She was raised in Paris, France till her teenage years then moved to Bethesda, Maryland
damn these people are boring

At least this one produces some cool tunes. ; )

She certainly doesn't sound French. She should stick to English, just like Manu Chao shouldn't sing in English.
Mmmm...cheese
Me likey cheese.

Color of life, color of joy
Where are your tears, all your words
And since you're sick of seeing
All people suffer
This notion is too simple and naive
Defeat a law
Invisible law, so unjust
So unjust, so dark
Live your life, it is so beautiful
Live your life is yours
Live your life, without a lie
Live your life, as you want
Color of life, color of joy
Where is this philosophical fire
Your condensed spirit, sprayed
Subtitled by all your tears
Live your life, it is so beautiful
Live your life is yours
Live your life, without a lie
Live your life, as you want
TF often use this same French singer ( anybody know her name?)
LouLou Ghelichkhani
Où sont tes larmes, tous tes mots
Et puisque t'en as marre de voir
Tous les gens souffrir
Cette notion trop simple et naïve
Parvenir à vaincre une loi
Loi invisible, si injuste
Si injuste, si sombre
Vis ta vie, elle est si belle
Vis ta vie, c'est la tienne
Vis ta vie, sans mensonge
Vis ta vie, comme tu veux
Couleur de vie, couleur de joie
Où est ce feu philosophique
Ton esprit condensé, pulverisé
Subtilé par toutes tes larmes
Vis ta vie, elle est si belle
Vis ta vie, c'est la tienne
Vis ta vie, sans mensonge
Vis ta vie, comme tu veux
Thank you
For all I know she could be sining the phone. I didn't get French at school even though I've been visiting the country for decades I can only manage is Merci and Deux bières s'il vous plait!
lol....nice comment.
Profoundly superficial? That's a wee bit of an oxymoron...
TF often use this same French singer ( anybody know her name?) in their works, and as it's her native language I'd not have thought that the French lyrics were thrown in so as to add je ne sais quoi to the songs. I expect that she wrote them herself.. TF also use singers in other languages, and are very internationalist in their outlook, which fits in with their radical politics. This isn't one of their best songs - the reverb irritates a bit - but they're never less than interesting and eclectic. Which is why they find themselves played frequently on RP, I guess...

It's not really beer though, is it?
For me: screaming down a double-black ski run with no one in sight, just enough light to see the bumps, and this blasting in the earbuds.
Thievery Corporation = same song over and over and over and over and over and over
Must not enjoy the sitar..
Thievery Corporation = same song over and over and over and over and over and over
sooooo, you're saying they caught Santana Disease?
Thievery Corporation = same song over and over and over and over and over and over
And it's so awesome!

Black Box Recorder - Wonderful Life

and exactly same set this morning of Novembre 2010!
Thievery Corporation = same song over and over and over and over and over and over
I feel the same way about the whole genre of Cumbia. But that's because I'm completely ignorant to it and have absolutely no interest in it.

A little late, but if you haven't heard it, may I suggest "Mirror Conspiracy". A very solid album!

Save a spot & a drink fer me.

'A genre busting amalgam.'
pretentious?....moi?!
no really..no dud tracks. how rare is that!!
I would suggest both "Richest Man in Babylon" and "The Cosmic Game". Both are exceptional. Cosmic game has several guest musicians including Wayne Coyne, Perry Ferrell, and RPs favorite whipping boy David Byrne. Down-tempo world grooves that only TC can create. Enjoy!
so beguilin' ... ?

Saw them in concert Missoula MT 2016, amazing show. And quite aromatic
