Written for the soundtrack of Silver Linings Playbook and featuring Mountain Man (best known for backing Feist), “Buffalo” is a beautiful track that many agree showcases all of the versatility and talent that make so much of Alt-J’s music an instant classic.
As Spin magazine puts it:
The intricate...
[Verse 1]
Breathe on me, my buffalo
Your hide warms to a warning
Of a death without words
I am ill after swallowing
Cups of pride; inside it pains me
With a bitterness I loathe
For the future tributes to Thom Sonny Green
Breathe on me, my buffalo
Your hide warms to a warning
Of a death without words
I am ill after swallowing
Cups of pride; inside it pains me
With a bitterness I loathe
For the future tributes to Thom Sonny Green
[Chorus]
The buffalo from Buffalo
Who are buffaloed by the buffalo
From Buffalo, buffalo
Other buffalo from Buffalo
[Outro]
And all's above lay to pay tribute to
The future death of our Thom Sonny Green
Buffalo was written by alt-J.
Buffalo was produced by Charlie Andrew.
