Keara Mosby More like sexual harrasment, but yeah, the subject matter is creepy. Actually, while the original (sung by a woman) is appropriately somber and minimalistic, I like the "seductive" take that this male version has, it makes sense given the perspective switch and really adds to the creep factor if you pay attention to the lyrics.
I found you thanks to the Chanel advert here in Ireland because I thought it was another muso. I am listening to more of your stuff and I like what I have heard so far!! Thanks
Boris [Verse 1] I said Baby, come up to my office You played at my party I owe you some money You owe me your lips I'm gonna give tips I heard your boyfriend's out of town Baby, aren't you hungry? I could give you codeine Or could get my car keys Oh, what a cute dress Right now it's useless I heard your boyfriend's out of town [Chorus] And you should get out of town too Yeah, you should get out of town too [Verse 2] I said Baby, I know that you want me You won't regret this Really, I'm serious We could just have fun We're only young ones I know your boyfriend's out of town Baby, where are you going? Don't be such a diva You know you can't leave now Oh, what a cute dress Oh, what a wet mess I know your boyfriend's is out of town [Chorus] x2
I'm not a fan of the lyrics but the musicality is just gorgeous. I wonder if there's a purely instrumental version because I could listen to that for days.
yup and it's amazing how the song shifts in perspective depending on the singer. Boy's version is more triumphant, this one on the face of it is sexy then super threatening.
Loved this, was at the show in Chicago last night. Gonna buy the album and learn the songs cause I'm definitely going to be seeing you again and I wanna sing along.
I love the voice and the melody but I really love that this is a song from the view of a sexual predator, imho. He's warning her that he can't control himself, no? If not, please explain this song.
Jmana in context to the song though..the original lyric is "cookies" I didn't know if codeine is being used as an appetite suppresant by certain circles.
To add to the creep factor I assume. Going from somewhat playful to talking about drugging her. In the original, Boris is being quoted, thus much of his creepyness is just invoked rather than spelled out. Here, it's sung from his perspective, so it has to come across directly. And Lo-Fang does this by creating this dissonance between the coersive nature of the lyrics and the seductive style of singing. The fact that he changed some of the lyrics to be more sexually predatory (things like "oh what a wet mess" and also details like the change from "you can't just leave now" to "you know you can't leave now") is supposed to add to that. At least that would be my interpretation.
Not less emotion, just very different ones. They have to be, since the song is now sung from the opposite perspective. He makes the song sound seductive to add to the creepy feel of the song, while the original has the advantage of having the real feelings that inspired the song behind it. Which a cover, especially by a guy, has no way of getting across. I'd say he made it his own in an interesting way, while changing surprisingly little.
Yeah, or harassment at the very least. When you read the lyrics of the original version (by BOY) it's even clearer: www.metrolyrics.com/boris-lyrics-boy.html
Elektra Nachos dude i stg i was thinking this ... been listening to this for awhile bc i love his voice but everytime i listen to it now i be like .... /:
@@ogbucko772 I think his take on the song is actually pretty cool, because it's deliberately taking the perspective of the harrasser. Which is why it's supposed to sound sexy. Harrassers likely think of their harrasment as seduction after all. And the creepy dissonnance between his sexy rendition and the very unpleasant subject matter is, I believe, exactly what he was going for.
*raping. And no, it doesn't actually go that far, it's about sexual harrasment. He tries to talk her into sleeping with him, but she tells him off. And it's not about him (as in the singer) doing so. It's about the man that gave the song it's name, Boris. The song is based off a real-life person (which is why the distinction between harrasment and rape is actually relevant). The writer of the original song, Valeska Steiner, based it off of a creepy boss she once had to work for.
Isn't this song talking about a gay romance ? Cette chanson ne parle-t-elle pas d'une romance gay ? Edit : Oh, I think no, because he talks about a dress :P Mise à jour : Oh, je crois que non, parce qu'il parle d'une robe :P
Sexual harrasment. It's a little easier to understand in the original, which is written and sung by a female (an indie music do named Boy). It's based on the singers own experiences with a creepy boss she had. A guy named Boris.
Still my most loved album it’s been 4 years now and I will always keep hearing it

He needs more credit! His work is just soooo perfect
This is the most beautiful thing i've ever heard.

So happy I remembered this song....I saw this sexy artist live when he opened for Lorde and my jaw was on the floor...so much talent
This is a cover though.

Absolutely IN LOVE! I saw you at the Lorde concert last night and you insane sooo glad i went!
I second that.
Did you go to the concert?
Yeah.
I agree completely! He was fantastic at the concert, and I loved that I got a picture after the concert! cx
Same! He was amazing!
I always come back and now to listen to this
Tremendous song. Can't wait for the album to come out.
It's a shame most people who made comments don't recognize that this is a cover.
True, but I have to say that it is as nicely done as Boy's original. Anyway - how about a collab, I would like to hear that :)
I prefer this version more though, it has a more haunting/darker effect than the original.
This version is much better
Well damn sorry ig that's what happens when it DOESNT SAY
Seriously can't stop playing this song after hearing it live in snt.louis
hear nothing like this. and thats what gives me chills every time i listen.
+teodora mitroi its kinda similar to alt-j
Se, pasaron 3 años pero la canción suena muy fresca aún. Me encanta.
@@tttarii hflvvkpazxbnkhswi❤️🙏

Just saw him open for Lorde in Seattle.. he was soo good!
Boris
[Verse 1]
I said
Baby, come up to my office
You played at my party
I owe you some money
You owe me your lips
I'm gonna give tips
I heard your boyfriend's out of town
Baby, aren't you hungry?
I could give you codeine
Or could get my car keys
Oh, what a cute dress
Right now it's useless
I heard your boyfriend's out of town
[Chorus]
And you should get out of town too
Yeah, you should get out of town too
[Verse 2]
I said
Baby, I know that you want me
You won't regret this
Really, I'm serious
We could just have fun
We're only young ones
I know your boyfriend's out of town
Baby, where are you going?
Don't be such a diva
You know you can't leave now
Oh, what a cute dress
Oh, what a wet mess
I know your boyfriend's is out of town
[Chorus] x2

If your a fan of Lofang.
Listen to Billy Greys' Album "Chronicles of a Broken Heart" in Spotify. He makes amazing songs. Intelligently written aswell.
I'm in love with this...
I'm not a fan of the lyrics but the musicality is just gorgeous. I wonder if there's a purely instrumental version because I could listen to that for days.
This is amazing!
Undress it, happy valentines day!
this guy's sick!! he should do duet with someone like Lana del Ray. they'd kill it!!!!
vishal kapadia ruined

He needs to make a song with Lana Del Rey...I would DIE.
Yasssss

discopineapple I, i
And it's better, no wait... Gosh
yup and it's amazing how the song shifts in perspective depending on the singer. Boy's version is more triumphant, this one on the face of it is sexy then super threatening.

If he did a dark version of Sunny Came Home that would be killer
I love this song... Llegarás lejos ;)

WHY THERE ISN'T A MUSIC VIDEO OF THIS SONG?? 😭 (Neither this one nor the original one)
Why isn't he popular smh?
I love the voice and the melody but I really love that this is a song from the view of a sexual predator, imho. He's warning her that he can't control himself, no? If not, please explain this song.
Why the moans fjskskkd lol love your music tho!😍😍😍
Black and the wood
This song should be on the soundtrack for 50 Shades of Gray....
Love this cover way more than the actual song. It's much better in my opinion!
this song needs a VIDEO CLIP
I wish there was an instrumental for this so bad
I really like this song
Love the album as a whole. Did want to ask, Codine, is that used as an appetite suppressant?
its an opioid, like heroin.
Jmana in context to the song though..the original lyric is "cookies" I didn't know if codeine is being used as an appetite suppresant by certain circles.
i mean, cocaine is gonna clear your nose, but thats not really the only thing its used for.
Zach Gilltrap codeine is what they put in sizzup. drank. promethazine with codeine. sprite and jolly ranchers.
Lol I just accidentally found my own comment a year later.
2:27-2:34 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOT FROM JAPAN?
This is so GOOD :o !!!
why did he change the lyrics from the original? cookies ->codein

just realized his face is in the pink.
Nowhere near as much emotion as the 'Boy' version...

This song is about him rapping a young girl who is a singer
*raping.
And no, it doesn't actually go that far, it's about sexual harrasment.

Aaaand now look at the lyrics again.
Maybe check out the original.
Innocents
Perfect to piss on the feminists 😅
music video please please.. ohh baby i heard your boyfriend is out of town and you should make a wet music video. ahhhh :D
If the music video to this song made you wet, something went seriously wrong.
Considering the song is about sexual harrasment.
Trash lyrics but i still like the song @_@
The original is written and sung by a woman (the duo "BOY" to be specific). Makes more sense that way.
LOL I don't like country!
Piglet LaMore OK that's not relevant though as this is indie folk not country.
Isn't this song talking about a gay romance ?
Cette chanson ne parle-t-elle pas d'une romance gay ?
Edit : Oh, I think no, because he talks about a dress :P
Mise à jour : Oh, je crois que non, parce qu'il parle d'une robe :P
Sexual harrasment.
It's a little easier to understand in the original, which is written and sung by a female (an indie music do named Boy). It's based on the singers own experiences with a creepy boss she had. A guy named Boris.
