Nizlopi /nɪzˈlɒpi/ are a two-piece alternative band with Luke Concannon on vocals, guitar, and bodhrán, and John Parker on double bass, human beatbox, and providing backing vocals.
The duo both grew up in Royal Leamington Spa, England. and attended The Trinity Catholic School. The band is named after a Hungarian girl whom Luke had a crush on at school. After creating the band, they then began to perform throughout England, building up a small but loyal fan base. Future musical artist and performer Ed Sheeran was their guitar technician at many of their early shows and has stated they were a major influence on his musical style, favouring an acoustic guitar to more lush efforts.
In early 2004, they released their first album Half These Songs Are About You with FDM Records. In 2007, they received an Impala Platinum award recognizing sales of the album in Europe. It was produced by Gavin Monaghan, also known for his work with Scott Matthews and Robert Plant.
I saw you yesterday, the words fell out of mouth
Suddenly everything changed, the clouds all opened for us
Its the same as, revelation chapters
Blooming out from pain, everything we need today is
So listen close to me, cause we are all at sea and
Loves a mystery, and love does this to me
All the anger here, all the pain inside
Makes me wanna hide, but I wont wait tonight cause
the way you speak to me, my heart is opened up but
I really know you love, you really know me love
Andafter all the stuckness, you and me just start to trust this (this love..)
Look into the world, it seems the suffering
Is raging on now, We all are wondering if
We can build now, if we can overcome and
Justice be the sun, in the heart of everyone goin..
Really feel it, dont you feel it in the world?
Really feel it, dont we feel it in our hearts?
Really feel it, dont we feel it in the world?
Really feel it in this town
the way you speak to me, my heart is opened up but
I really know you love, you really know me love
Andafter all the stuckness, you and me just start to trust this
Love that is here, this love is our light
This chaos that smashes my inside, this cause for which we must fight
Love that is here, this love is our light
This chaos that smashes my inside, this cause for which we must fight
Aah oohmmmmm
theres nothing more that I would really rather do
then sit and talk right here, now with you yeahmmmm
watch the rainclouds forming on this place
