Kero Kero Bonito - Cinema

from TOTEP

additional mixing & mastering by anthony lim @ premier mastering

genuinely insane how this song perfectly captures the feeling of coming out of a theater at night, esp if you'd entered while the sun was still up. the cold, the simultaneously energized and sleepy vibe. The disjointed feel of being in ur car or at home again after getting so invested in a screen for some 2 hours. I'm probably just projecting but still.

The first time I ever heard KKB was when I worked at the cinema - they had their song "Break" on the prerolls before each movie. When I was cleaning theatres I'd hear the song and take the moment to enjoy the moment and just not do anything for a few minutes. Funny how things come full circle like that.

This song sounds like a memory. Beautiful and ethereal

I was woken up for school, then school was cancelled. Then I find out Kkb releases more music, what a nice day already

[kingpendaofmercia]

I actually prefer this style to the stuff I'd heard from their earlier music - not that there's anything wrong with some upbeat pop, but this more garage and jazz influenced sound is right up my street.

[lalest]

I would buy an album full of Sara singing 'ba da da da dum'. It's so serene.

[basedsouljah]

I absolutely love this direction so much.

[slavicblin]

Three in a row?

Ladies and gentlemen, we have been blessed. Praise the lord.

[tripletoruses]

it's been 3 years since this song came out and this is the first time my brightness was high enough to see that she's in a cinema 🤯

[kumi]

Damn it’s like kerokerobonito graduated and now they’re making more mature music

[callmehdark]

This song randomly got in my spotify playlist and I like wtf this song is good and underrated.

[denzelransome]

Who agrees this is the best song out of the EP?

[mattdrummond]

One of the best guitar tones I’ve ever heard btw. I have always thought that every time I listen to this

[KpopLover]

This song needs to be *soo* much longer

[SHAYTHAALIEN]

This song just calms me in the most satisfying way 😩

~Lyrics~

There's no one around
But the two old-timers who visit when they're in town
The credits are rolling as they walk out

I get to my screen
With the phantom audience sat there waiting for me
But they don't complain where I take a seat
It seems

Even now, I still stop by
Most stories look better wide
And I feel at peace here, 'cause

While the adverts might've changed
The popcorn tastes the same
And in the end, the day's always saved
So once the picture stops
I let the hours pass
distracted in the dark

Even now, I still stop by
Most stories look better wide
And I feel at peace here, until

The lights come up bright
When it's over
I step outside and I think I might get
Some dinner somewhere nice
Tonight

[Smallfrogs]

i love how much each of these songs from the EP give off a really strong "feel"

[JY_]

idk what it is, but i always find myself going back this song... it just sounds so pretty

[SalsaPie]

As someone whose main source of comfort for most of my life has been movie theaters, this one really resonated with me.

[izzyitzyy]

it hits different when its on a friday night, you play this song while driving around with your friends and everyone is quiet, and its 1 am and the roads are empty.. honestly it hits so differently

[jancarloortegatrejo]

Every time i feel alone i return to heard this song
