The Cave (free) 04:05
lyrics

The world still bleeds But you‘re all I need We‘ll dig a hole, far down Stay there untill We are weak and ill And we don‘t know which way is up And the time will be We‘ll be safe and free Out of tune and out of touch And the sound we‘ll hear Will be to loud and near Out of tune and always there We let it bleed I guess it will be over soon I feel I could Only if I would Send a message to the crowd Follow my cue Do what I do I don‘ t know if there‘s a key We let it bleed I guess it will be over soon

As far as I see it extends And the sea it has no end Wondering when we will be Under the wishing tree I can’t see Who are you man And who needs you I hope you’ll understand I wonder if you can Diving in where I can shout Arriving nowhere but close around Coming back the muffled sound Who are you man And who needs you I hope you’ll understand I wonder if you can Winding it up and rolling it down to the spiral hole A blinding smoke down all the way to the final goal.

A Few for All 04:31
lyrics

Flew by my eyes Born on a midsummer’s day No rain, no wind but you cried for better, for worse You rose, you lived, you died, you learned from the ignorant man of the house Shame you couldn’t walk there was no one in there for you A fool is in charge Disaster is coming The cold, the heat and suffering doesn’t compare The fear not knowing what you did or imagine wherever you are No you couldn’t talk, there was no one in there for you Take no prize for what you did today All for no cause or glory Feel no shame You couldn’t do nothing. Neither for you nor for her Some people say We can’t all be lucky I know I am so I’ll thank whoever I can. We never met but I cannot forget what I heard from the man of the house “A few for all will die for a cause”.

Astronaut 02:48
lyrics

Little angel, your clothes are unclean and torn by the shoulder and elbows and knees. When did you ever lose track of your hopes and fall deeper and deeper into a hole Oh don‘t get me wrong, it‘s not over for you any more than (that) I still have a chance of becoming an astronaut I know what you might have been, you know it best, but you smile to the world and say this is it. We can never be sure anyway, so just smile if you can, say rock bottom is far, far away. Oh I hope it‘s not true that it‘s over for you. I even believe that I can still be an astronaut I can not help but compare to you While you do all you‘re meant to do But I hope that you see that you‘re greater than All your ambitions combined today. Your angles have still not forsaken you All of your sins are objective to Those who will judge you in the end Who really knows if they‘re real. If they‘re real! Far from the best, from the middle, the rest But you walk (un)til you‘re gone You‘ll be far from our thoughts You can‘t say what you did, all the thoughts that you hid With nothing to lose you‘ve got so much to gain Enough has been said about the life that you had, All alone in your head you never can be an astronaut.

about

The band was formed in the mystical Icelandic town Reykjavik by a group of careless souls, Árni (guitar, vocals), Daði (Piano, drums, vocals) and Káki (lead vocals, guitar). They met in college and only by accident, after a series of random events led them together with instruments in hand, they started playing music together and haven’t stopped since.

In the spring of 2010 Kakali introduced its debut album, The Cave. Currently Kakali is working on its second album expected to be released in the spring 2014.


The concept behind The Cave

We all have these places we escape to when we need a break from our surroundings. These places could be anything within your imagination, your home, a painting, a song or that special someone. Similar to the snail that trails along the road with his home on the back to which he can retreat whenever he needs a break from the world. With this in mind, Þórunn Árnadóttir (an upcoming Icelandic designer) designed this beautiful artwork for our album cover.
