Black Crow
Jamiroquai Lyrics
He sees the stormy anger of the world
And wants no part of it at all
And as the weeping leaves of Autumn curl
He feels the savage winter call
See far below the dust of conflict settles on the hill
Where there was no escape before
And as he spreads his wings and soars up to another level
He brings the icy prophecies of war
Black crow, black crow, tell me where you really go
When you fly into the sunset, high in evening sky,
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
While children lose their souls and so much more
To ragged armies of the field
A vicious fanfare cries appeasing hungry savages
To trigger that their fate is surely sealed
I wonder if that black crow sleeps as day beckons the night
Or if he even sleeps at all
I wonder what he thinks of all the human traffic passing far below
That's struggled on the road for so, so long
Black crow, black crow, solely you pass above
Understanding everything but you know nothing at all
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
do you understand the pain that we feel down here at all?
Black crow, black crow, tell me where you really go
When you fly into the sunset, high in evening sky,
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?

Black Crow
Jamiroquai
He sees the stormy anger of the world
And wants no part of it at all
And as the weeping leaves of Autumn curl
He feels the savage winter call
See far below the dust of conflict settles on the hill
Where there was no escape before
And as he spreads his wings and soars up to another level
He brings the icy prophecies of war
Black crow, black crow, tell me where you really go
When you fly into the sunset, high in evening sky,
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
While children lose their souls and so much more
To ragged armies of the field
A vicious fanfare cries appeasing hungry savages
To trigger that their fate is surely sealed
I wonder if that black crow sleeps as day beckons the night
Or if he even sleeps at all
I wonder what he thinks of all the human traffic passing far below
That's struggled on the road for so, so long
Black crow, black crow, solely you pass above
Understanding everything but you know nothing at all
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
do you understand the pain that we feel down here at all?
Black crow, black crow, tell me where you really go
When you fly into the sunset, high in evening sky,
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?

He sees the stormy anger of the world
And wants no part of it at all
And as the weeping leaves of Autumn curl
He feels the savage winter call
See far below the dust of conflict settles on the hill
Where there was no escape before
And as he spreads his wings and soars up to another level
He brings the icy prophecies of war
Black crow, black crow, tell me where you really go
When you fly into the sunset, high in evening sky,

A vicious fanfare cries appeasing hungry savages
To trigger that their fate is surely sealed
I wonder if that black crow sleeps as day beckons the night
Or if he even sleeps at all
I wonder what he thinks of all the human traffic passing far below
That's sturggled on the road for so, so long
Black crow, black crow, solely you pass above
Understanding everything but you know nothing at all
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
Do you understand the pain that we feel down here at all?
Black crow, black crow, tell me where you really go
When you fly into the sunset, high in evening sky,
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?

Or if he even sleeps at all
I wonder what he thinks of all the human traffic far below
That's struggled on the road so, so long
Tell me black crow, black crow silently you pass above
Understanding everything but you know nothing at all
Black crow black crow, tell me what you really know
Do you understand the pain that we feel down here at all
Black crow, black crow, tell me where you really go
When you fly into the sunset, high in evening sky
Black crow, black crow, tell me what you really know
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?
Will we flourish in this hurricane, or will we fall and die?

The genius of Jamoriquai is in the band. J Kay's voice is cool, kinda like a little Stevie Wonder, but the musical arrangements are usually great. They combine elements that come out of the blue, usually mixed with funk.. In this song, you could have an instrumental version that would sound better than with the lyrics.

Saw jamiroquai at the house of blues Las vegas 15+yaears ago...an threw my demo of my band Grand Element he caught it an than began a song not sure if he listen to it...similar jazz fusion style with just me on the drums an a very creative keyboardist....it had my info on the CD....never got a call:)

U must be a musician...the way u discribe jameriquie

Very good comparison to Stevie Wonder, I can hear it. The music reminds me of Isaac Hayes or James Brown The Payback Album or In Jungle Groove which both have incredible funky songs.
