Tune-Yards - Look at Your Hands (Official Video) - Featuring the the DSI Tempest

Published on Oct 24, 2017 Tune-Yards

This one is not necessarily a synth demo, but considering how prominent the DSI Tempest is featured, I thought it deserved a post. Also, I thought it was kind of cool that there is a credit for "modular synth" in the description for the video below. I remember the first time I heard this song in the background while posting away. About a minute in, I was like, "what the heck am I listening to?!" It was like the bizarre thoughts that go through your mind right before you fall asleep. Some of the other tracks on the album are like that as well. This track and some others grew on me. Regardless of our musical tastes, the Tune-Yards are great musicians and the production quality of the album is top notch.

"'Look at Your Hands' by Tune-Yards. New album 'I can feel you creep into my private life' is released January 19th 2018: http://smarturl.it/TYICFYCIMPL

La la la la la la la look at your hands, your hands
LOOK, la la look at your hands, your hands
Look at all the objects in your hands your hands
La la look at your hands, your

La la la la look at your hands, your hands
LOOK, la la look at your hands, your hands
Turning objects over in your hands your hands
La la look at your hands, your hands

La la la la la la look at my hands, my plan
Shoot, I should’ve faced that, placed that
Tell me my own father is a wicked man
Now now now now now now now
Now it’s my hands my hands

How much would it cost to make it my plan, my man
Ooo, I wanna taste that, waste that
Sell me my own water off of my own land
Now now now now now now now
Now it’s my hands, my hands

[La la la la la la la look at your hands, your hands…]

He got the shadow to follow the foe
He got got that thing to go
La-la-locked and loaded and ready to go
He got lots of things to go, oh

Harmony, harmony
Vibration when voices are free
Harmony, harmony
How I long to see

[How much would it cost to make it my plan, my man....?]

La la la la look at your hands, your hands
LOOK, la la look at your hands, your hands
Look at all the objects in your hands, your
Hands, la la look at your hands, your hands"
