1) The following is about the Bristol Band.
They are comprised of Gee (vocals) and Scott Hendy (aka Boca 45). Their sound is a mix of beats and samples, drawing on a wide range of influences from dub to sixties pop, all tied together by Gee’s distinctive voice.
Discovered by Geoff Barrow from the Bristol band Portishead, Malachai released a limited-edition 12” on Barrow’s Invada label, called ‘Fading World’. This track was used as the music to accompany the ‘I Count: Stop Climate Chaos’ video that first aired at the 2007 Glastonbury Festival.
‘Fading World’ is set to be followed by the band’s major label debut, ‘EP 1’ on Island Records later in 2007. The lead track from ‘EP 1’, titled ‘The Battle’ received considerable hype from Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe.
2) Surgido em 2005 no Brasil, o Malachai mescla influências do Rock Rural, Progressivo e Psicodélico produzido no país nas décadas de 1960 e principalmente de 1970 com os primórdios do Rock americano e dos estilos que deram origem ao gênero, como o Country e o Blues. Ainda assim, o Malachai quer distância da palavra nostalgia. Com uma proposta artística de inquietude e criação de conceitos instigantes sempre olhando para frente, a vontade é justamente modernizar esses estilos que fizeram a cabeça dos músicos do Presente, Passado e Futuro, ultilizando as novas tecnologias. Partindo desse ponto, a banda constrói uma identidade própria e fala de um mundo que soa mágico, mas que é um reflexo do mundo que conhecemos. Através de muito surrealismo e ironia, o Malachai canta as mazelas e as delícias da vida com a mesma paixão.
Snowflake
Malachai Lyrics

Hanging around those seats and back rows
When nobody's eyes can see what you know
Who's under the coat you're wondering
So many times I've seen my shadow
Hovering over that sweetness I know
When all of a sudden I've needs from below
Who's there for me now, I'm hungering
Take that snowflake, you can't do it right
I know what I want and I'm not too proud to shout
Hit that road if you can't put it right
I know what I want, I want off this roundabout
How many of our dark secrets are told
Under the covers of sheets and bedrolls
When all of our fantasies can unfold
While the rest of the world's slumbering
Down on my bended knees and elbows
Chewing over that sweetness I know
When all of a sudden I've needs from below
Somewhere in the dark I'm mumbling
Calling out for love...
Take that snowflake you can't do it right
I know what I want and I'm not too proud to shout
Hit that road if you can't put it right
I know what I want, I want off this roundabout
You leave me so sad and lonely
Sooo
Sad and lonely
Sooo
You leave me so,
Leave me so...
The lyrics to Malachai's song, Snowflake, are about the frustration and loneliness that can come from being in a relationship that isn't fulfilling or satisfying. The singer reflects on the times they have tried to make things work, but ultimately find themselves feeling lost and unfulfilled. The first verse paints a picture of sneaking around and hiding things from the world, trying to find a way to feel fulfilled despite the lack of connection in the relationship. The second verse talks about secret fantasies and desires, and the feeling of being left alone despite being in a partnership.
The chorus is a call to action, expressing the frustration of the singer and the desire to break free from the cycles of unhappiness: "Take that snowflake, you can't do it right / I know what I want and I'm not too proud to shout". The metaphor of a snowflake is used to represent the fragility and delicacy of the relationship, and the singer's frustration at their inability to fix it. The song ends with the repeated refrain of "You leave me so sad and lonely", expressing the deep disappointment and frustration that comes from not being able to find happiness with a partner.

How many times have you gone below
How many times have you sunk into the depths of your thoughts and emotions
Hanging around those seats and back rows
Spending time in the shadows and corners, avoiding the spotlight
When nobody's eyes can see what you know
When nobody else can understand your innermost feelings and insights
Who's under the coat you're wondering
Wondering who is hiding their true identity or emotions
So many times I've seen my shadow
Frequently feeling weighed down by self-doubt and insecurities
Hovering over that sweetness I know
Being drawn to something desirable yet unattainable
When all of a sudden I've needs from below
When unexpected desires or emotions arise from deep within
Who's there for me now, I'm hungering
Feeling a strong desire for affection or emotional support from others
Calling out for love...
Expressing a deep longing for love and emotional connection
Take that snowflake, you can't do it right
Rejecting someone who is unable to meet one's needs or expectations
I know what I want and I'm not too proud to shout
Being assertive and confident in one's desires
Hit that road if you can't put it right
Leaving a situation or relationship that is not meeting one's needs
I know what I want, I want off this roundabout
Desiring to break free from a monotonous or unsatisfying cycle
How many of our dark secrets are told
Reflecting on the secrets and shame that people keep hidden
Under the covers of sheets and bedrolls
In the privacy and intimacy of a bedroom
When all of our fantasies can unfold
When we can indulge in our deepest desires and daydreams
While the rest of the world's slumbering
While others are asleep and unaware of our internal struggles
Down on my bended knees and elbows
Feeling vulnerable and humbled by one's emotional turmoil
Chewing over that sweetness I know
Contemplating a tantalizing and desirable yet unattainable situation
Somewhere in the dark I'm mumbling
Muttering anxiously and incoherently in the privacy of one's own mind
You leave me so sad and lonely
Feeling abandoned and isolated by someone else's actions
Sooo
Sad and lonely
Experiencing deep and painful emotions of loneliness and sorrow
Sooo
You leave me so,
Feeling rejected and hurt by someone's actions
Leave me so...
Expressing a sense of abandonment and loss
