I find it interesting how they say "We think so then, and we thought so still." It's almost as if they are saying they have no sense of time. That it is unimportant to them.
Honestly, this song just perfectly encapsulates what pelicans just… are. They strut around like they own the place, they eat anything that fits in their mouths, they’ve been here for at least 30 million years. They’d probably think highly of themselves if they were sapient.
For those who don't know (and haven't read the description), this is actually sampled from the beginning of a piece by Edward Lear, a nonsense poet, the piece called "Pelican Chorus" and it's quite longer than the song.
it's stuff like this that makes me love cosmo sheldrake. several poems are referenced in "the moss," for example, and hearing all of those was absolutely delightful
i hate not being able to read the lyrics while listening to music so King and Queens of the Pelicans we; No other Birds so grand we see! None but we have feet like fins! With lovely leathery throats and chins! Ploffskin, Pluffskin, Pelican jee! We think no birds so happy as we! Plumpskin, Ploshkin, Pelican jill! We think so then, and we thought so still! We live on the Nile. The Nile we love. By night we sleep on the cliffs above; By day we fish, and at eve we stand On long bare islands of yellow sand. And when the sun sinks slowly down And the great rock walls grow dark and brown, Where the purple river rolls fast and dim And the Ivory Ibis starlike skim, Wing to wing we dance around, Stamping our feet with a flumpy sound, Opening our mouths as Pelicans ought And this is the song that we nightly snort: King and Queens of the Pelicans we; No other Birds so grand we see! None but we have feet like fins! With lovely leathery throats and chins! Ploffskin, Pluffskin, Pelican jee! We think no Birds so happy as we! Pluffskin, pluffskin, pelican jill! We think so then, and we thought so still!
Swordbird98 Thank you so much for these lyrics! It’s cool of you to take time out of your day to make other people’s lives more convenient (although I’m sure you use the lyrics as well!).
I just have a weakness for weirdly whimsical tunes like this. Maybe it’s cause I’ve had dreams of entering a strange fantasy world and hearing melodies like this take me back to this.
Ah, but pelicans have what are known as totipalmate feet - all four toes are webbed. Most web-footed birds are only palmate, or three webbed toes with the hallux in the back. That being said, so are cormorants, gannets, boobies, anhingas, and frigatebirds...but best not tell the pelicans that.
Some random dude ranting: “ there aren’t enough songs about pelicans “ Cosmo Sheldrake: “ I’ve got you “ And that was how this was created and I love it
I just want to say I loved this song so much I made a DnD encounter around it: the Pelican Lords. My players who are pirates will have to find themselves in their good graces to pass their waters safely.
@@Furb33s no problem! The poem that cosmo used has the same name as the song, so it should be relatively easy too look up! I'm sure ur kiddo is gonna love it!

honestly i remember reading this EXACT song in Edward Lear's Book of Nonsense Poems as a tiny child and here I am listening to a professional cover of it
Such an interesting take on one of Edward Lear's nonsense songs. This came up in my spotify discover weekly and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since.
Ahhh I know, right? I used to read the book The Pelican Chorus (the one with some of his poems/songs) all the time when I was little, and I just stumbled on this while listening to Cosmo's stuff, which I just discovered. It's incredible, exactly the way I would have imagined it going with music. It's like the way I used to try to sing it while reading the book, but so much better
Well... yes. That's why I'm saying that Pelican's We makes less sense, and not more sense. Both songs can have stories while my original comment still holds true. Pelican's We is just way more ambiguous than The Moss. I know that The Moss has a story (The song full of Edward Lear poems and childhood nursery rhymes, thus hinting at childhood and how those stories can be just as real to children as the facts stated in the first verse. Or, it could be taken as commentary on the loss of childhood as we age). Again, Pelican's We is just less specific. And that's what I love about This kind of music. It makes you think.
5UNNYR4Y3 Well i look a parts of the lyrics such as "We think no birds so grand/happy as we" "Opening our mouths as pelicans ought(as we're supposed to)" or "none but we have feet like fins(we are naturally better than others)" I could be far off wrong but I think this is kinda of general finger point to corrupt communism or nationalism
King and Queen of the Pelicans we; No other Birds so grand we see! None but we have feet like fins!

I actually had the same though I’m imagining it being a be prepared style villain song were the king and queen of the pelicans reveal their plan to rule over all birds to their underlines
Absolutely love this song. It’s also fun to watch people in the comments try to find a deeper meaning to a song who’s lyrics are quite literally lines from a nonsense poem. For some reason I just specifically love the way he says ‘no’ in the second line of the chorus. It sounds weirdly familiar, but also just… right.
The phrase "lovely leathery throats and chins" is so evocative and sung in such perfect meter that I cannot stop thinking about it. Just that line has been in my head for weeks now -💜 Ky
This song literally fuels me so much. I was listening to a bunch of music on the bus and when I remembered this one I was sooo... alive. I listened to it for a long time and I love it man. It's so unique and beautiful and it feels amazing yk
hi completely unrelated but ive been following you on tumblr for a while and suddenly ive stumbled upon a youtube comment you made a year ago on my favorite song. hi
Oh my god! This just made me remember a picture book my mom used to read to me! It was an illustrated version of The Pelican Chorus and I've haven't thought about since until hearing this song. It's so weird what the brain remembers.
Ever since Ive found his music, its been something I’ve never stopped becoming attached toward, I’ve shown some of my friends and people don’t get it at first, but then it slowly snaps into place, and then people like it a lot, first starting with “The Moss”, then “Come Along” then this and more, I love it all, and will continue to enjoy the work that is created.
I love how you just make music about whatever you want, because even if the song doesnt make sense, the vibe it gives off is amazing. Keep it up, you're one of my favorite musicians
Pelican to Melvin(Nemo’s dad) come come along now let’s escape from the humdrum an well escape on the wings of a bird song? (Sorry I had to I love that song)
A song in a Disney movie where the group known as the “pelicans” dances around their court arena and is later revealed to be a villainous cult who aim to sacrifice the city to the river
Conheci suas músicas através da minha filha de 12 anos. Ela ama suas músicas e eu tb. São maravilhosamente sérias e divertidas ao mesmo tempo. Obrigado! Um abraço amazônico.

Reason number :XXXX that cosmo is great, there are two Pitches coming out of each ear during some parts, which is higher or lower, and it’s bloody fantastic
It's so wholesome that you can mix such catching melody with such beautiful and classical instruments in your songs :3 Flutes and Clarinnetes are my thing, love your work.
This might be my favorite song of Cosmo I just think of two ship wrecked survivors making it onto a island and on it are tons of pelicans that the survivors earn the trust of and essentially live all together dancing around their camp fires and like practically building a religion based on pelicans
i could imagine it perfectly in my head: a disney movie about birds and the pelicans kingdom are introducing themself with this song like the hyena scene on Lion King

Yo i’m so excited! I can’t wait to hear what you’ve got!
Your music is so incredible! I found you via tiktok (I think a lot of people did) and I can't stop listening to it!!

I find it interesting how they say "We think so then, and we thought so still." It's almost as if they are saying they have no sense of time. That it is unimportant to them.
Immortal pelicans. Truly terrifying
or they're just dumb and narcissistic, like real life pelicans..
Jay Watermore dont diss pelicans
@@jaywatermore9553 You don't shit talk pelicans dude, them fuckers will majorly mess you up.
Also the "King and queens of the pelicans we" implies there's one male and like a bunch of females and I kind of like that insinuation,,
*_I feel like Cosmo is extremely underrated as a musician._*

defpotec123 haha yeah
This comment has been stuck in my head for a while now. Every time I come back to this song it just cracks me up!
WHAT ARE THE OTHER 4
Honestly, this song just perfectly encapsulates what pelicans just… are.
They strut around like they own the place, they eat anything that fits in their mouths, they’ve been here for at least 30 million years. They’d probably think highly of themselves if they were sapient.
Whos to say they aren't sapient
@@donfernandograterol 😨
Wait when did pelicans evolve into pelicans
Fun fact. The word Pelican is derived from an old term for battle ax. Badass af
@@strange_0ne535 .......pike. not axe. It was the Haliberd more accurately.
For those who don't know (and haven't read the description), this is actually sampled from the beginning of a piece by Edward Lear, a nonsense poet, the piece called "Pelican Chorus" and it's quite longer than the song.

this gives off the feeling that something is horribly wrong and all the pelicans are very much involved but are ignoring it

“ the pelicans are very much involved “ is such a funny phrase out of context
i hate not being able to read the lyrics while listening to music so
King and Queens of the Pelicans we;
No other Birds so grand we see!
None but we have feet like fins!
With lovely leathery throats and chins!

We think no birds so happy as we!

And the great rock walls grow dark and brown,
Where the purple river rolls fast and dim
And the Ivory Ibis starlike skim,
Wing to wing we dance around,
Stamping our feet with a flumpy sound,
Opening our mouths as Pelicans ought
And this is the song that we nightly snort:

It always feels good to be a bastard, especially when you have friends to be bastards with

It is a wonderful day in the cult
*And you are a horrible pelican*
is that not what life is all about?
Feel like? No, no, no, sir, you ARE in a pelican cult.

I just want to say I loved this song so much I made a DnD encounter around it: the Pelican Lords. My players who are pirates will have to find themselves in their good graces to pass their waters safely.
I'm thinking of running a campaign where it's a Waterworld (only small islands in one big ocean) so I might use this.
(As well as a pelican race).
This song kind of sounds like it's just Thieves Can't
How did the encounter go?
That is such a great concept, goodness.
i'd love to know more
The lyrics to this read like a children’s book and I love it.

This song makes less sense than The Moss.
And I love it!
5UNNYR4Y3 the moss actually has a story look at the lyrics
Well... yes. That's why I'm saying that Pelican's We makes less sense, and not more sense.

the moss is relating to nursery rhymes
example: or the cow that hoped the planets
that's referring to the cow that jumped over the moon

I have a new wish: Have a party were all guests were pelicans masks and make them sing this in unison.
That just have me inspiration for an entire novel.
Sounds like a cult but ok
I, too, refer to my hostage gatherings as "parties"
Where do I sign up?
Pretty sure thats just a cult, so i suggest chasing people while singing
This is great even though it's just about pelicans he makes it sound like a fantasy!
Lyrical interpretation aside, I love these types of songs, the types of songs that just give off the essence of...

Shoutout to all my flumppy pelicans
I can only imagine how excited Mr. Edward Lear would have been to have heard this! This is my favorite way to enjoy his poetry...
I think I like all of Cosmo’s songs pretty much equally but this is definitely the one that brings me the most pure unbridled joy.
i think this song is about pelicans
Really? Wow! Never knew that! What gave you the idea?
nah, I think it’s about pelicans.
No it’s about ducks
It all makes sense now...

Other pop artists be singing about drugs and fake love, and then there's Cosmo casually singing about Pelicans 😌😌

This was the first Cosmo song I heard and I was immediately entranced. So beautiful but slightly eerie and dissonant. A little bit like nature.
ngl there is a big difference when listening to cosmo sheldrake, With Headphones and Without Headphones
So glad I only started getting into his music months after my headphones broke :(
I watched The Boy and the Heron last night and this song was stuck in my head until the end of the movie.
I live in Louisiana, and the state bird is an Eastern Brown Pelican.
I've seen many of them, and this sing describes them perfectly.
A Pelican shat on me once
I freaking love all of his music. So good and strange
Not gonna lie... this is DEFINITELY me when I'm a pelican
lmao, what?
I'm sorry, *when* ?
You're only a pelican sone of the time? L honestly
god this entire ep just is so overlooked cosmo seriously knows how to capture a certain aesthetic. He makes everything sound so whimsical
WING TO WING WE DANCE AROUND 🗣🗣🔥🔥‼‼
Ever since Ive found his music, its been something I’ve never stopped becoming attached toward, I’ve shown some of my friends and people don’t get it at first, but then it slowly snaps into place, and then people like it a lot, first starting with “The Moss”, then “Come Along” then this and more, I love it all, and will continue to enjoy the work that is created.

Ngl that intro sounds like something you would hear on a music disc in Minecraft, they oughta call you up
I wish more people would turn old poems into excellent songs.
Check Christmas at sea by The Longest Jhons
A song in a Disney movie where the group known as the “pelicans” dances around their court arena and is later revealed to be a villainous cult who aim to sacrifice the city to the river

I just bought all of your songs on Apple Music
Cosmo Sheldrake your music is ADDICTING I love it so much I want to start making some of my own
Cosmo Sheldrake oh my god your music is beautiful.
A masterpiece in every right. I wish every song could be made with the amount of creativity and skill that Cosmo's work has.
a friend recommended cosmo to me yesterday and I've been listening to his music for hours now it's sooo good.
Thanks Cosmo, for helping people to open eyes, love your job.
I literally discovered cosmo like 7 hours ago and I’m already hooked
Conheci suas músicas através da minha filha de 12 anos. Ela ama suas músicas e eu tb. São maravilhosamente sérias e divertidas ao mesmo tempo. Obrigado! Um abraço amazônico.
I love this song
this music makes me nostalgic for a disney movie that never actually happened.
now that you've said that, same
Why does every song cosmo makes sound like a drug trip gone wrong but it just is a bop at the same time
It's official. I have to choreograph a heelwork-to-music (basically dog dance) to this song. Not an option anymore. It must be done.
I'm waiting fam
's been three years... How's it going?
gorgeous song and album, the moss, your rythme, the percussions, your voice. well done mec (y)
You are *SUPER UNDERATED* like damn I firat found "the moss" and I was hooked your music is fantastic good job man keep it going
Thank you for bringing musical magic back into my life.
All your songs would make such good animations. They have such a weird and amazing vibe.
A perfect song that encapsulates the joyous and silly celebratory tone of Edward Lear’s - The Pelican Chorus
I'm that one weird person whose obsessed with a song about pelicans
ME TOOOO!!!!
Oh you're just so, quirky :)
You must feel special.
You are one of many...
Yeah, one of 10k but alright
This song has a way of being heard once and just...resurfacing constantly in the following week
This guy is going to be huge. Keep making music x
Never expected a song about pelicans so sound so amazing
I kind of feel like diving into the ocean and returning to the surface with a large amount of fish in my mouth.
thats how he gets you
@@seagull9580 any personal encounters with pelicans, Mr seagull?
This song is amazing! My little sister can't stop hearing it!! Thank you for making this
I love dancing like a pelican to this, it means exactly what you think it means.
Just remembered this song from a SONOS ad and im so happy i found it again
Here’s the Lyrics, if anyone needs them!
King and Queen of the Pelicans we;
No other Birds so grand we see!
None but we have feet like fins!
With lovely leathery throats and chins!
Ploffskin, Pluffskin, Pelican jee!
We think no birds so happy as we!
Plumpskin, Ploshkin, Pelican jill!
We think so then, and we thought so still!
We live on the Nile. The Nile we love.
By night we sleep on the cliffs above.
By day we fish, and at eve we stand
On long bare islands of yellow sand.
And when the sun sinks slowly down
And the great rock walls grow dark and brown,
Where the purple river rolls fast and dim
And the ivory Ibis starlike skim,
Wing to wing we dance around, -
Stamping our feet with a flumpy sound, -
Opening our mouths as Pelicans ought,
And this is the song we nightly snort:
King and Queen of the Pelicans we;
No other Birds so grand we see!
None but we have feet like fins!
With lovely leathery throats and chins!
Ploffskin, Pluffskin, Pelican jee!
We think no birds so happy as we!
Plumpskin, Ploshkin, Pelican jill!
We think so then, and we thought so still!
Thank you, your music feed my Mind, Heart and Body and flow through my veins.
Reason number :XXXX that cosmo is great, there are two Pitches coming out of each ear during some parts, which is higher or lower, and it’s bloody fantastic
No words to describe how much I love this piece! Go on! You have a great talent.
For about four months I've listened to this song thinking the words were "by day we fish in the TV stand" wondering tf kinda metaphor is this
It's so wholesome that you can mix such catching melody with such beautiful and classical instruments in your songs :3 Flutes and Clarinnetes are my thing, love your work.
This might be my favorite song of Cosmo I just think of two ship wrecked survivors making it onto a island and on it are tons of pelicans that the survivors earn the trust of and essentially live all together dancing around their camp fires and like practically building a religion based on pelicans
Oh my god I love that concept
*laughs in writer*
@@thecinema_ lmao
Damn all your songs are so interesting to listen to and all so awesome. Please keep making this strange wonderful music!
i could imagine it perfectly in my head: a disney movie about birds and the pelicans kingdom are introducing themself with this song like the hyena scene on Lion King
One thing about Cosmo, behind the fantastical lyrics, he WILL drop a beat. PHEW! 🥵😮💨🔥🤌🏾✨️
I can't stop listening to this song!!!! I WILL BURN IT INTO MY HEAD
stamp it into your brain with a flumpy sound
