Why
Magda Giannikou Lyrics

@phcmj

Same! I think it's because of her joy in singing. It's beautiful!

@cesarsaura1954

It's literally impossible to listen to this without smiling.

@muthonigrace5597

I agree

@pianosenzanima1

actually im crying

@MrConnor6A1

Exactly what I was just thinking!

@matiascollado9926

Literalmente. Y más por el toque que le da cada artista. Es impresionante

@plaslode1

Big smiles here

@anwyllonmusic

Snarky Puppy! You made me quit my 10 year long I.T. career to study music.

@MissAmeria

So amazing! I'm a musician, but I'm studying... diplomacy ;) But now, after the
snarky Puppy concert (it was yesterday in my town) I'm thinking about sound production :D

@hanawana

Anwyll Music and MissAmeria good going guys. Wishing you the best of luck!

@fagnersousa5906

@@MissAmeria I know how that feels... Been a singer/musician for most of my life, but graduated from Law School. I want to study music bad tho!

@Diogolindir

Well, where I am from there is not a music school in which I can graduate with my instrument (electric guitar) so im studying by myself. Been almost 15 years !

Are there other 'happy' songs/performances like this? :)

@FlorianNOURDIN

I'm French and I'll try to translate the lyrics. Sorry for the mistakes !

Bouquets of roses,
Songs that speak of one thing,
Love, love
An earthquacke
A neckpiece that holds my hapiness
Love, always

Love, are you there ?
Love, I'm looking for your figure
Love, is that you ?
Love, why are you hiding from me ?

Dreaming of kisses,
Of two words caressing the neck,
Love, love
World's upside down,
Who will bring my hapiness ?
Love, always

Love, are you there ?
Love, I'm looking for your figure
Love, is that you ?
Love, I don't really know
Love, why ?
Love, why are you hiding from me ?

Every morning I get up, I get up very early,
To go to work,
This morning I have the feeling that
Someone will answer to my question 

Love, are you there ?
Love, I'm looking for your figure
Love, is that you ?
Love, I don't really know
Love, you're crazy
Love, I'm looking for you, where are you ?
Love, why ?
Love, why are you hiding from me?

@ahmedredabelatir3242

Is the Bossa Nova power

@mikedegroff7766

The craziest thing is they don't rehearse this.  Everyone from the Puppy just gets an MP3 of the song and learns it at their leisure, they get together here, and just do it. Amazing.

@pianosenzanima1

Mike DeGroff thats freaking amazing

@HermelThePolyglot

Where did you read that? Isn't there at least one reharsal before the show?

@Trickingtyphoon

I went to a Q&A with Micheal League and explained that he sends the band music files of the song mocks made on GarageBand, but they do then come in to rehearse as a band and add new ideas once everyone's learnt the parts.

@2FadeMusic

Ollie Heron  That's so cool

Oh man...Garage Band for sketching....Amazing what it turns out!!!

@ElGordo2497

@pollengininda158

Whenever I put my headsets on Snarky Puppy takes me to my own little world. a world without boundaries or limitations.

These guys should be named the Best Musicians in the World

@writetovagelis1975

..was playing this version of the song with a band to Jazz clubs around Athens. Nobody knew the song..by the end ,everybody was dancing.
At the end they would ask it again for an encore. Amazing song by an amazing songwriter.

@juniusjames5347

Magda's voice has aged beautifully. Honestly love her voice. There are no words to describe the feels from this Snarky Puppy take on such a fusion of culture.

@harryhines1334

that energy is just incredible, to have so many talented musicians come together to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts,

@armourofcontempt

Women in my dreams have this voice.
My goodness, I love this live recording.

@manb4war

Pure muscianship, background vocals, timing, rhythm...what's not to like.

@rovervitesse1

I can only describe this as velvet for your ears and her French accent (from Greece) is so cool / now I want to learn French

@markprater1

Michael League gets my vote for Producer of the Year - every year! He gets consistently phenomenal performances from not only his Guest Artists, but from himself and the Snarky Puppy musicians, which, individually, are the standout player in other bands. True trandscendant musicianship is not playing everything you know on every song...hats off to M League!

@vaiklo

The very best love song from a genius musician ever been heard in the history of mankind. Period.

@CallGojo

@markteachesmusic

Beautiful, funky, and unique

@ILLGOOD

I am so happy....all of you musicians were BORN, I really do. I love you guy's parents, for birthing such amazing musician specialists into this mundane world of hell. Life became tolerable from just experiencing this intricate musicianship and master class contribution. I don't understand why music does to the brain and spirit as it does. But I NEED it and can't balance out my life without it. It's another language another form of LOVING someone if thee creators want it to be. For my mental health.....please stay safe and healthy.

@NomadHills

This is SUCH a fantastic live session. I love all those musicians, this choir, this horn section, the drum solo. Wonderful! Merci beaucoup :)

@Peppinski

From this song on I was in love with her style! A few years ago I saw her life in Cologne - it was fantastic <3

@davekingpt

Sput and Nate are amazing. S.P. presents songs in so many different rhythm styles and they are always so perfect at each of them. I can't think of any other time the band has used a bossa nova rhythm but, they make you move to this one. Their New Orleans beat in Quarter Master - you can't sit still. Their combined effort on the whole Sylva album shouldn't go unnoticed and Nate has one of the best all time cow bell entrances during The Clearing.

Bouquets des roses
Chansons qui parlent que d’une chose
Amour, amour
Tremblement de terre
Collier qui porte mon bonheur
Amour, toujours
Amour, t’es là?
Amour, je cherche ton schéma
Amour, c’est toi?
Amour, pourquoi tu te caches de moi

Rêve des bisous
Deux mots, qui caressent le cou
Amour, amour
Monde à l’envers
Qui va porter mon bonheur
Amour, toujours
Amour, t’es là?
Amour, je cherche ton schéma
Amour, c’est toi?
Amour, je sais pas vraiment
Amour, pourquoi?
Amour, pourquoi tu te caches de moi?

Chaque matin je me lève, je me lève très tôt
Pour aller au boulot
Ce matin j’ai l’impression
Quelqu’un va repondre à ma question
Amour, t’es là?
Amour, je cherche ton schéma
Amour, c’est toi?
Amour, je sais pas vraiment
Amour, t’es fou
Amour, je te cherche, t’es où?
Amour, pourquoi, amour
Pourquoi, tu te caches de moi?

@drewper73

Such a great groove! I've been playing drums and percussion since 1984 and oh how I wish that I had listened to music like this growing up. Not only music like this with the Afro-Cuban rhythms, but also artists like Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Thelonius Monk, and others. It would've made me a more well-rounded player, and I needed that jazz/Latin background while playing in my high school jazz band and especially in my college jazz band. What can I say? My parents didn't listen to it, my friends didn't listen to it. I knew my rock and roll and the Top 40 from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. I knew that stuff inside out and backwards, which has definitely paid off, so no regrets.
