Nick Mulvey - Cucurucu 

It's amazing when you discover a great song years after its released. Makes you realise music is timeless

Love 'Cucurucu' and 'Fever To The Form'. Great songs.

I can't believe I've never heard of this guy...feel like I've just unearthed a true musical genius...this song...spine chilling.

This song is based on the poem 'Piano' by D H Lawrence - the first verse is almost word-for-word the same as the first stanza. Amazing lyrics and great adaptation to music

What a beautiful song. The way he weaved his own words into the poem is amazing.

Known this song since it came out. It was my childhood. Thank you for making this incredible song nick

HIS TALENT GOT ME HERE!

In my opinion, the song is about him hearing a woman playing the piano and reminding him of the loss of his mother. He is imagining the little boy being there who is actually him watching her play. Such an amazing heart wrenching song, but yet somehow uplifting :)

this song strikes a chord in my heart and I can't even explain why

This song changed my life. Helped me get in touch with the lost little boy that lives inside and start to heal him.

I heard this while sitting on the beach on Kuramathi island, Maldives...takes me back to that special place. Songs like this are few and far between, timeless. Much appreciation from South Africa

Nicks beautiful album helped me through a very difficult period late '14. At the end of each day he took me away to a place somewhere else.......

This has been playing for 48 hours straight now. WHY CAN'T I GET TIRED OF THIS?!

Acabo de descubrir a este pedazo de artista! No sólo esta canción sino muchas otras me encantan! Son muy buenas!

saw Nick perform this almost 2 years ago supporting Ben Howard back in 2013 and I'm still obsessed! So good.

A beautiful example of music and lyrics by Nick that lift you, and videography by James Morgan that does the same, and combine them together, it just amplifies the whole emotional impact! Beautiful. Nick and James, if this is what you create together I’d love to see more!

NICK MULVEY BROUGHT ME HERE.

Softly, in the evening dusk, a woman is singing to me She takes me back down the vista of my years, until I see I see a child underneath the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings Pressing the poised feet of his mother who smiles at him as she sings Cucurucu, cucurucu Softly now in the evening dusk, a woman is singing to me She takes me back down the vista of my years, until I see A boy, a child underneath the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings Pressing the poised feet of his mother who smiles at him as she sings Yearning to belong, yearning to belong My heart beats with a ceaseless longing of a yearning to belong In spite of myself, and all of these nursery songs My heart beats with a ceaseless longing of a yearning to belong Till the melodies of childish days, are upon, upon me And they take me back, back down the river They keep leading me on, they lead me to the sea And all of my manhood is cast Down in the flood of remembrance, and I weep like a child for the past Singing cucurucu, cucurucu Singing cucurucu, cucurucu I see a child underneath the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings Pressing the poised feet of his mother who smiles at him as she sings Listen to me son, I'll tell you why your father's strong 'Cause he can still say every single day, he's yearning to belong Yearning to belong, yearning to belong My heart beats with a ceaseless longing of a yearning to belong In spite of myself, and all of these nursery songs My heart beats with a ceaseless, meets with a peaceless burning to belong Singing cucurucu, cucurucu Singing cucurucu Singing cucurucu, cucurucu, cucurucu

I heard Nick Mulvey live before hearing any of his recorded work, at Mosely Folk Festival in 2018. I was utterly mesmerised, such beauty in the lyrics and music. Saw him again playing in a tiny teepee at Glastonbury last year too at midnight, just magic.

This is and will always be one of my favourite songs

Thank u radio 1

His voice and the guitar are just so soothing.... beautiful!! Thanks Nick xx

I got married dancing to this song… thank you nick, you changed my life

Heard this song on radio 1 a while back and been searching for it for ages! So glad I've found it :)

I loved it when the radio played this song years ago it reminds me of when I usto be a painter and decorator singing this in an echoing empty room. Banging the lader to the beat.. Takes me back.

my wife started laughing at me when i started singing this song one day on a long quiet drive up country. she asked, " what is CU CU RU CU?" i answered, " I have no idea, the wind blew against the car's loose side mirror and made this same sound. i immediately remembered this song,. i had forgotten just how much i love it"

Still sounds as good as the first listen, 7 years ago...So much water under the bridge since then.

Rarely does one fall upon such a magical tune.

What a timeless song. Still as good as when i first heard on release. Might even be better!

BBC Radio 1 bought me here, love this! :)

I don't know why but this song has been helping me with a love that wasn't meant to be. Like helping to get out all the pain, and be free.

This is definitely a marvelous work of art!

PIANO By D.H. Lawrence Softly, in the dusk, a woman is singing to me; Taking me back down the vista of years, till I see A child sitting under the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings And pressing the small, poised feet of a mother who smiles as she sings. In spite of myself, the insidious mastery of song Betrays me back, till the heart of me weeps to belong To the old Sunday evenings at home, with winter outside And hymns in the cosy parlour, the tinkling piano our guide. So now it is vain for the singer to burst into clamour With the great black piano appassionato. The glamour Of childish days is upon me, my manhood is cast Down in the flood of remembrance, I weep like a child for the past. 1918 Keith's poetry archive. Keith's favorite poems.

why isn't music like this no.1 on charts

Beautiful song, I really thought it was from a Mexican singer, the cucurrucu paloma song is very famous and many mothers sings to their child the melody, all in this song took me to those days and to the present, I felt like it was written for me (I know how selfish!) Is very beautiful to read the comments and see how many people connected to the song in different ways and very sad that great songs don't get the recognition they deserve.

Very nice, works very well on a sunday morning.

Beatiful song. Much respect God bless nick

Was on a boat Sydney Vivid festival and this song played. Cruising on the water it was perfect! Thank you for playing this Sydney 2022

saw him live, very nice & great voice ! Loved him.

I just blew my own mind today 😆 i was literally talking about this song yesterday to a co worker. They used to play this song at my work a lot since it was one of my old bosses favourites. Then they updated the sound system at work and we can no longer make playlists so I've been plauged by the same songs every day for about a year now with the occasional new release thrown in there. But anyway i was just reading somewhere that your favourite genre of music reflects what your personality is, which is a bit of a trouble for me since I'm quite passionate about almost all genres. So do i have every personality? 😆 Anyway i decided to Google what Portico Quartets genre might be since i find that they do not have a single bad song, therefore they are my favourite band. And as i googled it listed the members, and i saw Nick's name and was like, wait a minute..... I know this one. And obviously i find this song absolutely brilliant. So to find out nick used to be a member of my favourite band. 😌😌 Very pleased right now.

So glad that i found this song again,i used to walk in The morning listening to this...,this song give such good fellings
