Lyrics
Be it at your best,
it’s still our nest,
unknown a better place.



Narrow your breath,
from every guess

I’ve drawn my birthplace.


Oh, I don’t need a friend.

I won’t let it in again.


Be at my best,

I fall, obsessed in all its memory.

Dove out to our death, to be undressed,
a love, in birth and reverie.



I don’t want a friend.
I won’t let it in again.

I don’t need a friend.

I won’t let it in again.

Here, at my best,

it’s all at rest,

‘cause I found a better place.

As a biologist, I can't thank you guys enough for using your amazing talents to convey such an important message.

U know what touches me the most about this video? The fact that the crew and everyone that made it spent 35 fucking hours underwater, put so much time into filming the video and the efforts the team made to clean up the beaches (gave local kids books and pencils for the trash used to make the whale). The most touching part? They didn’t do it for clout or money they did it because it’s a cause they truly care about I mean the video only has 1.1 million views. This is nothing compared to other shit that ppl are listening to these days, it’s genuine, it’s real, it helps us connect with what we as humans came from. Like this is the stuff we should be paying attention to, this is the stuff that makes u realize what it means to be a human sharing s world with so many other species. Thank you Novo and your crew for shedding light on such an important topic.

However, we love to keep it that way at the same time we want them to get big because we know they deserve all the attention of how amazing and how their music help people and change their view for the good. It sad how a lot of people don't appreciate music like these it's like people are afraid to face the truth about the world and the truth that lies behind every beautiful clouds.

The whale scream and the high note in 3:24 it's simply one of the best transitions I've ever seen in my entire life

[fiersabesari]

Lovely and heartbreaking at the same time

[leiyaasfal]

What's so haunting and stunning about this video is how the whale accurately portrays the monstrosity of the garbage within our oceans and it's capacity to consume all the life within it until it becomes completely desolate. This video is as much art as it is a warning

[JoshEdwardsFilms]

This is so beautiful and powerful...we need to look after this earth

[leonajancova]

When I was 15, we went to the environmental lecture provided by our school. They played Birthplace with a video clip. It was beautiful, I fell in love with this song on first sight but I didn't have my phone with me to find out who the author was. I was looking for it for several years and suddenly a video clip with a whale popped up on my fyp. I knew right away that this is the video I've been looking for for ages. Somehow youtube recommented it for me and thanks to that recommendation, Novo Amor saved my life. This was the first song that made me feel music after long time. And his songs stayed with me through my hardest times. I just wanna say thank you, for doing what you are doing.

Leaving this comment here, so that, whenever someone clicks "like" I will be reminded of this song, and also importantly, the message...

[atomichearts]

hozier is the forest king and novo amor is the environment king. they should collab and save the world!!

[MammalMan]

Just how beautiful can his music get?!

[jorgelitoeufrides]

The band name "Novo Amor" in portuguese means "New Love" :)
Greetings from Brazil <3

There is a razors edge between innocence and arrogance, like what often is the difference between shy uncertainty and and confidence that lacks the humility of self-reflection, and I think finding that balance in life is all the purpose one should aspire for. Our wake might be the graceful thoughts of having attempted our best to have left every place, of our experience, in better shape than when we arrived there.

If heaven had a voice it'd be yours

[DaanVerhoeven]

how thoroughly gorgeous! What an amazing combination of song, visuals and message.

[rofieqnurrozaqrobarwarto]

I never know video clip can be so meaningful and beautiful, let's save our birthplace, ocean 🙏

[rafillo]

The last 2 minutes is just one of the most beautiful things I´ve heard in my entire life. I could keep listening to that part in an infinite loop until the end of time.

[sedisoriano]

As a human who basically can't swim, I do really find this video incredibly amazing. What a sight. God bless Novo Amor, lots of love from Philippines ❤
