Video: A-Trak, Mark Foster, & Kimbra – “Warrior”

a trakfoster1 Video: A Trak, Mark Foster, & Kimbra   Warrior

It’ll be tough for any trio thereafter to beat the Gorillaz/3 Stacks/James Murphy collaboration, but here’s another from the Converse Three Artists, One Song series. Featuring A-Trak, Mark Foster of Foster the People, and Kimbra, whose voice you may recognize from “Someone That I Used To Know” (evidently her voice is something to behold as it’s inspired at least 10 good remixes), the result is a fun, retro-inspired track. Oh, and it comes with a video that’s got some illegal lucha libre going on. That’s always positive in our books.

    [Kimbra]
    My hands are tied
    My eyes are, open
    Smiling tonight
    It’s been broken
    Of the mystical
    The want from you
    It’s just chemicals
    And no one looking down on you

    When I’m with him
    Oh I feel so sure it’s rational
    When I’m shrinking
    But that don’t make it logical
    When I’m with him
    If you say I’m just an animal
    I feel I’m sinking
    You can’t explain the way, the way I feel

    [Mark Foster (of Foster the People)] (Kimbra)
    And they’re just pushing me down
    Pushing me down, pushing me down
    (They tell you trust your head
    You like married men
    Feel like cooling it down)

    And they’re just pushing me down
    Pushing me down, pushing me down
    (They wanna take our life
    Which is fine, just
    Cry for the ones you love)

    (Cry for the ones you love)
    I’ll be your warrior, warrior
    (Just cry for the ones you love)
    I’ll be your warrior, warrior (warrior)

    [Kimbra]
    You’re taking over
    And I’m feeling small
    When I was a child
    I knew it all
    The magical
    And hide and went behind the door
    It’s a chain reaction
    But I know I’m made for more

    When I’m with him
    Oh I feel so sure it’s rational
    When I’m shrinking
    But that don’t make it logical
    When I’m with him
    If you say I’m just an animal
    I feel I’m sinking
    You can’t explain the way, the way I feel

    [Mark Foster (of Foster the People)] (Kimbra)
    And they’re just pushing me down
    Pushing me down, pushing me down
    (They tell you trust your head
    You like married men
    Feel like cooling it down)

    And they’re just pushing me down
    Pushing me down, pushing me down
    (They wanna take our life
    Which is fine, just
    Cry for the ones you love)

    And they’re just pushing me down
    Pushing me down, pushing me down
    (You wanna change the world
    With your girls, but you see
    That a knife really hurts)

    And they’re just pushing me down
    Pushing me down, pushing me down
    (They wanna take our life
    Which is fine, just
    Cry for the ones you love)

    [Mark Foster (of Foster the People)] (Kimbra)
    Ohhhhhhhhh oh ohhhhhhhhh
    Ohhhhhhhhh oh ohhhhhhhhh
    Ohhhhhhhhh oh ohhhhhhhhh
    Ohhhhhhhhh oh ohhhhhhhhh
    Yeah, yeah

    [Mark Foster (of Foster the People)] (Kimbra)
    And they’re just pushing me down
    Pushing me down, pushing me down
    (They tell you trust your head
    Trust your head)

    And they’re just pushing me down
    Pushing me down, pushing me down
    (They wanna take our life
    Take our life
    Just cry for the ones you love)

    And they’re just pushing me down
    Pushing me down, pushing me down
    (You wanna change the world
    With your girls, but you see
    That a knife really hurts)

    And they’re just pushing me down
    Pushing me down, pushing me down
    (They wanna take our life
    Which is fine, just
    Cry for the ones you love)
