Video: Noisettes cover Miriam Makeba’s ‘Kilimanjaro’

• December 5th, 2010

 

Another awe-inspiring piece of work from the Noisettes. Lead singer Shingai covers Miriam Makeba’s classic Kilimanjaro, which segues into their hit single Never Forget You.

We love it. And you can find it as a free download on the Shape What’s to come website.

You can also watch behind the scenes footage of the recording here.

Hat tip to one of our twitter besties Kate B. You’re awesome! x

Noisettes - Kilimanjaro - with Jacaranda School Band at Lake of Stars Festival

The Jacaranda School for Orphans Band had the chance to take part in the 2010 Lake of Stars Festival in Malawi. The children did their own set, but they also played two songs with Noisettes: the first one, "Don't Upset the Rhythm", and the second one, "Kilimanjaro" during Noisettes acoustic set. It was a memorable performance for all the children and for the crowd too!

Noisettes - HD Never Forget You Live - 2009

Whatcha drinkin'
Rum or whisky
Now won't you have a...
Double with me
I'm sorry I'm a little late
I got your message by the way
I'm calling in sick today
So let's go out for old time sake

I'll never forget you
They said we'd never make it 
My sweet joy, always remember me

We were mischievious
And you're always wearing black
I was so serious
You know my boyfriend's mother 
nearly had a heart attack
I'm sorry I'm a little late
You know the stripes on a tiger 
are hard to change 
And notice, world feels like an empty stage
I wouldn't change a thing
So I'm glad your back again

I'll never forget you
They said we'd never make it 
My sweet joy, always remember me
I'll never forget you
(Hold on to me)
At times we couldn't shake it 
My joy, always remember me

We just got swallowed up
You know I didn't forget you
We just got swallowed up

We just got swallowed up
But you know that I didn't forget you
We just got swallowed up
By the whole damn world

What you're thinking
Did you miss me
I borrowed your silver boots
Now if you just let me 
give them back to you

I'll never forget you
They said we'd never make it 
My sweet joy, always remember me
I'll never forget you
(Hold on to me)
Although at times we couldn't shake it 
My joy, always remember me

Don't you know that you're my joy 
Always remember me

Don't you know that you're my joy 
Always remember me
