RP does it again! This doesn't play on AM radio (except in Nunavut). I've never been sorry about supporting RP. Go team!
EXCELLENT TUNE!! Nunavut must have a cool AM Radio station! RP introudced me to them, and now they are on "My Favorites" list. That is why we come here. Thanx RP!
Hey RP. Stop exposing us to new music from other cultures that we wouldn't otherwise come into contact with. It's very destabilizing for those of us who thought our teenage/college record collections were the very center of the musical universe
haha !
Somebody fell asleep on the keyboard while typing the lyrics?

This comment is genuinely funny and yet it currently has three thumbs-up and six thumbs-down votes. There is no denigration here of any people, culture, etc. It's simply having fun with the attempt to render in a western alphabet a spoken language not at all like western languages. Not a good match. Were the Jerry Cans offended or something? I doubt it. I don't get people.
The line “sing into my mouth” in the Talking Heads song “This Must Be the Place (Naïve Melody)” was inspired by a photograph of two Inuit women performing this practice.
Here's a translation of the lyrics from Lryics Translate
When you find yourself travelling in the Arctic
While the wind blows,
Remind them of me,
Remind them I used to love them.
If you travel through a blizzard
During the time when the river freezes,
In the early fall,
Make sure to dress warm,
Make sure they are warm.
I used to love them.
I used to love them.
I used to love them.
I used to love them.
I used to love them.
When you find yourself travelling in the Arctic
While the wind blows,
Remind them of me,
Remind them
I used to love them.
I used to love them.
I used to love them.
I used to love them.22
I used to love them.
Thank You for the translation! GREAT TUNE!!
...Wiki it:
Eskimo (/ˈɛskɪmoʊ/ ESS-kih-moh) or Eskimos are the indigenous circumpolar peoples who have traditionally inhabited the northern circumpolar region from eastern Siberia (Russia) to Alaska (United States), Northern Canada, Nunavik, Nunatsiavut, and Greenland.
Although the name "Eskimo" was commonly used in Alaska to refer to Inuit and Yupik people of the world, this usage is now considered unacceptable by many or even most Alaska Natives, largely since it is a colonial name imposed by non-Indigenous people. Alaska Natives increasingly prefer to be known by the names they use in their own languages, such as Inupiaq or Yupik. "Inuit" is now the current term in Alaska and across the Arctic, and "Eskimo" is fading from use.
It's what they desire to be called. How hard is it to honor that? We can choose enlightenment, respect and decency without getting irritated that someone offered us insight.... but you be you mj baummann.
This is a funny post, but in this age of hyper-sensitivity it must be down-vote.
Yes, it's Anglo-centric, but so what. English lyrics rendered in Inuit symbology would likely appear as if somebody fell asleep on their keyboard. That's all there is to this humor -- no malicious intent. Lighten up, my friends.
Sort of agree but it'd be more apropos for the Anglo-centric to be picking on Welsh, though. Grygchchcryrch! ;-)
This would have been better without the filler Millennial swoop in the middle. Where did that "woah oh oh oh oh" stuff come from?
Totally agree!

Inuit grammar is pretty cool, for those who are interested...
Holy cow, that's eye-opening. I thought I knew a little about language construction. Turns out I knew less that I thought.
Thanks for playing indigenous Canadian music from Nunavut. Awesome!
Yes!
Mumford & Sons in a different tongue
Thought the same, then I read your comment 😂

Not even close, that comment is an to insult The Jerry Cans
I usually listen between 7AM and noon. And sometimes after 7PM. This might be useful info for when to NOT program this song for airplay. I love RP. I don't love Ukiug.
This seems strange coming from someone with the handle worldbeatboy. Wrong part of the world for you then?
I particularly enjoy and respect the display of throat singing featured here. It is glorious to live in a time when we can learn a little more about other peoples arts and culture. Just a little, of course, but perhaps that's going to be a gateway to more exchange of ideas. One can only hope.
I didn't rate it 1 (I didn't rate it at all) but I'll tell you what I hate about it. There's this one voice just making this sort of "EEE EEE EEE EEE EEE" sound in the chorus that is a bit of a fly in the ointment for me. I like the rest of the tune, but I just want that one voice to shut up and quit ruining the song.

Ummm... Are you suggesting that my YES/Genesis/Pink Floyd collection isn't the acoustic pinnacle of the universe??
That's gonna take some processing
Are you that weak? I'd rather like to think that that was intended to be a joke.
i am certain it is a joke.
So does Pink Floyd's bass playing on One of These Days and Queen's panning of vocals in Bohemian Rhapsody, et al. Not exactly groundbreaking production but whatever floats your boat.
It need not be "groundbreaking" to be awesome.
And this is awesome.
Bravo, sir.
I was thinking the same thing. That's not necessarily a negative.

YAY! This was my submission!
Thanks RP!
Well, Thank You!
Eskimo (/ˈɛskɪmoʊ/ ESS-kih-moh) or Eskimos are the indigenous circumpolar peoples who have traditionally inhabited the northern circumpolar region from eastern Siberia (Russia) to Alaska (United States), Northern Canada, Nunavik, Nunatsiavut, and Greenland.
Further down on the very wiki page you are quoting you will note:
"Many Inuit, Yupik, Aleut and other individuals consider the term Eskimo to be unacceptable."
The left-right throat singing near the end has a wild effect wearing the old ear-buds...

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing with us
Can't begin to understand what it's about but what the hell! It lifts my spirits, perhaps it shouldn't since I don't know what it's about

ad infinitum. impressive.
I suggest you give Pandora a shot.
Music's pretty good too.
Inuit.
Bravo, sir.
The average rating for this is 6.66. The whispery chant does give it an interesting edge. As this is the only song of theirs on RP, I'll have to go look up some more. My gut feeling is that it could go either way.
I would also be interested in knowing how it translates. Unfortunately, Google doesn't understand Inuktitut... :)

I very nearly had a coffee-keyboard moment after reading this comment
Now maybe you could take a second look at Whitehorse's Kicking Down Your Door, please?
Keeps getting better. Lots of energy. Where else would you hear this besides Nunavut?

That it appears so is in big part because they're hindered by having to transliterate into English. If they were written in the actual Inuktitut language you could see the beauty of their syllables. They have an art in their form that's totally lost when crushed into latin alphabet.
Beyond that, this is not so good.

I suspect Inuit might say that English sounds like someone took Latin, German and Norse and threw them into a blender.

Just saying.
je suis canadian
Mais un peut disrespectful of the few of us who like "Canadian" spelled with a capital "C", you know, like when you also add a capital after a period. But you're in a hurry, I know.

Good one, newbolddrive! Thanks for helping broaden our collective musical landscape and thanks to BnR for adding it to the mix. LLRP!!
Absolutely nailed it.

It's traditional Inuit throat singing from Northern Canada.
Thanks RP!
And then check out "Bancate ese defecto" by Charly García -->

I'm kinda digging this, not quite to the Matias Duplesey level of liking (yet?) though it's got something enjoyable to me...call it a 7 for now....Long Live RP and these eclectic playlists I've grown to really enjoy!!
I bumped this funkiness to an 8....I love how this tune keeps going throughout the entire duration....LLRP!!

Also check out "Fall Away" by an older 70's Inuit band, Sugluk.
I was initially surprised to hear the throat singing at the beginning of the song, which prompted me to look at the Wikipedia info :)
