Kero Kero Bonito - Swimming

Copied!

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I was treading on the beach
Summer underneath my feet
Somewhere I'd never seen
Mama led me by the hand
'Til the grit stuck with the damp
And the foam fizzed adrift
When we both strode in

I can feel the detritus lifting
And I moved like I knew that I was free again
Then before thinking I ventured out

Swimming
Across the sea
The current battles way down below me
Drifting
But holding on
I keep my head up to watch the shore

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

After many years had passed
Hoping I would find the path
I arrived at the start
In the shadow of a cliff
Memories floating in the wind
I squared up to the tide
On my own this time

I can feel the detritus lifting
While a teardrop tickled as it ran away
But it got lost in the wash, I tossed

Swimming
Across the sea
I get the feeling
I always have been

Swimming
Across the sea
The current battles way down below me
Drifting
But holding on
I keep my head up to watch the shore

Swimming

edit bio

Kero Kero Bonito (sometimes shortened to KKB) are a British band from London, England. The band consists of vocalist Sarah Midori Perry, and producers Gus Lobban and Jamie Bulled. Their name comes from the Japanese words onomatopoeia for a frog’s croak and a type of fish.

The band’s musical style is that of electropop influenced at first by a blend of J-pop, dancehall, and video game music. However, took a more shoegaze-oriented path after their TOTEP EP, and followed that release up with their 2018 album Time ‘n’ Place, which seemed to draw from indie rock, bedroom pop, and experimental pop. Many of their songs are produced using a Casio SA-45 mini-keyboard. Perry sings and raps in both Japanese and English.

Beyond their work as a trio, Perry is a visual artist; Lobban produces music under his own name and as Kane West; and Bulled produces music as Wharfwhit.
