About the fishsong unplugged
"The fishsong unplugged" is an acoustic cover of "The fish song" by underscores. Its lyrics are based on a true story about a rare yellow-coloured milkfish, which was nicknamed the "Golden Bangus". It was donated to the Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in 2012, and passed away a few months after living in the research pond due to stress and low oxygen - the result of a blocked seawater intake pump. .
the fishsong unplugged Lyrics
[00:02.98] (Ah, pardon)
[00:13.50] (C'est bon)
[00:14.09]
[00:31.43] Just outside the city
[00:34.37] I was holding something's no one's ever seen before
[00:42.56] Its eyes were kind of pretty
[00:45.36] Its irises were blacked out, and its scales were made of gold
[00:53.91] Even through the flash flood
[00:56.74] Spared it every harvest 'cause I wanted it to grow
[01:04.92] The scientists came knocking
[01:08.07] And something deep within me that refused to let it go
[01:16.22] I know you are
[01:20.45] Onto something, onto something
[01:23.58] I know you are
[01:28.13] Onto something, onto something
[01:37.99] Gave it to the city
[01:40.85] And hoped that maybe one day it'd pass its children all its luck
[01:49.56] Something of a mascot
[01:52.31] 'Til one day, they had found its silver belly facing up
[02:00.88] For a week, they kept it quiet
[02:03.67] And without a proper burial, they kept it in a jar
[02:12.29] It was stressed until it passed
[02:14.31] The pump was overfilled with sand, and then they spoiled a lucky charm
[02:23.20] I know you are
[02:28.12] Onto something, onto something
[02:31.59] I know you are
[02:36.26] Onto something, onto something
[02:39.52] I know you are
[02:43.33] Onto something new
[02:55.55]
[00:13.50] (C'est bon)
[00:14.09]
