Devendra Banhart's "Taking a Page," from his new album, Ma, out now on Nonesuch Records: smarturl.it/DevendraBanhartMa

Filmed by The Bardos in Nepal

“See my brains ooze out in this Trekker friendly music video for 'Taking a Page.” Filmed in Nepal. More specifically in Kathmandu, Muktinath, Ranipauwa, Pokhara, and a few remote parts of upper and lower Mustang. In it you will find:

My monk friend Moti doing make up for the first time...
Neten Chockling Rinpoche liberating a few yaks (roam free wild sisters and hermanos!)
Lindsay from the Bardos!
A bloody shower!
Boudanath Stupa!
Sky Caves!
The chords to Iced Honey by Metallica and Lou Reed
Free Jazz

Ultimately , This is a love letter to Nepal! A land of truly mystical proportions that must be experienced!”

Describing the genesis of the song—for which he sought special permission from Carole King to lift a line and melody from her beloved 1971 classic "So Far Away"—Banhart says, "I'm not sure what 'Taking a Page' is about, at least I'm not sure of how to synthesize it into something pithy. I definitely know it's about how much I can't stand car chases and those long drawn out guitar solos (though I've certainly been guilty of plenty of em!). I do remember the night Trump won—the shock and fear. I instinctively reached for a Carole King album. I knew it would help. I knew it would come in handy … and it did. Still does. I'm so glad Carole got to hear it. It's really just a song about my entire life. I can't explain it much beyond that."

Carole King's immediate response upon hearing the song: "I like it."

Never has an artist's sound been so much like a time-delayed capsule for his lyrics. His little rhymes and rhythms continue to revel themselves

"I'm in my free Tibet shirt that's made in China" may be my fav lyric of 2019.

This song grew on me. I feel like with banharts newer albums I'm not mature enough to get them. Like they take me a while to truly appreciate what hes doing. Just a genius doing his thing. But hes really helping me understand music more as well as self expression. I cant wait for my babies to be singing this shit with me. I'm not worldly enough either.

“Always recognize the dreamlike qualities of life and reduce attachment and aversion. Practice good-heartedness toward all beings. Be loving and compassionate, no matter what others do to you. What they will do will not matter so much when you see it as a dream. The trick is to have positive intention during the dream. This is the essential point. This is true spirituality.” - Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

First I thought that was Andes (didn't catch the hotel sign entirely), "why Devendra's talking in english when he can speak in spanish", then I understood that was Nepal. Both regions share a lot, I think. Nepal's beautiful, thank you for the video Dev.

Big fan of Devendra Banhart from the first time I heard Rejoicing in the hands. What a surprise to see him visit Nepal. It'd have been awesome to meet the man himself.

His songs reminds me the alleys of crop fields and hills blanketed with orange trees in Kavre. Life was very beautiful then. Em, i still think of you when I listen to the songs and artists you introduced to me. Thank you. You've always been a wonderful person. :")) Love from Nepal.
