Arbor de condenacion.. Dooooomtree

[@notpropertyadream]

anyone have an instrumental? one of my all time favorites.

[@SihtFukcCokc]

@DJSkinnyHo At one point she tries to say "dance before you go", but she translates it literally as if the same grammar rules applied in both languages, so she says "baila antes de que te vas", where the verb "ir" (to go) is supposed to be conjugated in the present subjunctive mode as "vayas", not "vas", which is the one she uses.

[@TheDeysiRae]

LOVIN the clapping lumberjacks!

[@gordonanderson3111]

2011? Wow - "the Future" seems so long ago now.

[@45eduard45]

when are you comming to holland?

[@CHRYSALISYUPSWON]

DOPE!! DESSA SO FINE!!

[@AnalWave]

Definitively the best member of Doomtree. Sorry, but really. She is.

[@Kayabc]

Even if it is a sickness, I'm oddly convinced at least it's honest. That's as real as it gets.

[@joshuaestrada550]

CLAP SOLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheDeysiRae]

Are clapping lumberjacks THE most Minnesotan thing ever?

[@notpropertyadream]

karaoke version, anyone???? :-)

[@zombiehype]

2:24 UNNFFF

[@qm2smith]

Awesome Song Awesome Band...Doesn't hurt that shes HOT either =)

[@trojanlinebacker]

that's called fluency

[@1trevorjohn]

Hey Man, can you blame him ?

[@SihtFukcCokc]

@DJSkinnyHo And then she tries to say "the world is burning", and again she does it literally, "el mundo está quemando", which implies that the world is burning SOMETHING, instead of "el mundo SE está quemando", which would be the correct way of saying that the world ITSELF is burning. But like I said, the song is still awesome, and her spanish is understandable, even if her accent is a little funny. I hope I answered your question. (:

[@jpowell2868]

bossa nova with a limp

[@aesop2020]
