about

Ari and the Buffalo King's debut single "Year or Two" is a rich introduction into a special heart space of introspective and playful well-traveled folk. With deep grooves and beautiful orchestral arrangements, Ari weaves stories of patience into contemplation on the unfolding of life over generations and the inherent longing of spiritual seeking. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you may even open your third eye!

A deep, heartfelt thank you to all who donated to our crowdfunding campaign to help make this album happen!! Special thanks to Bella Lee, Kevin O'Brien, Samantha Goodrich, Timothy Mallard, Janet Smith, Ryan Peck, Rachael and Dylan Peterson, Josh Nguyen, Doreen Bolger, Pat Streifel, Travis Lageman, Cole Radenbaugh and his Mom (lol), Amy Eva Raehse & David Tomasko, Gina Caruso, Micah E. Wood, Cousin Ryan Smith, Josh Stine, Kyron McKoy, and Sangah Park. We couldn't have done it without you!

lyrics

I’m nothing special, I’m just a dude
Sailed the ocean to find the blues
And I’ve been awfully successful
Easy to feel lonely in a fishbowl

I don’t know
what tomorrow will bring
But I know that it might bring you
And I can be patient
For a year or two…

A woman sits and rubs her back
Got a belly like an onion sack
She’s thinking “how’m I gonna do this?”
What a concept — ‘growing humans’

Pregnancy ain’t no piece of cake
And I’m tired of going to bars for only lemonade
But I can be patient
For a month or two…

Let’s get political

Plop on the couch, turn on the tube
Sweet lord, ain’t we finally doomed
Looks like love’s on a hiatus took a trip to the moon
Who voted these motherfuckers up in here?
Up in here?

We don’t know
what tomorrow will bring
Despite our political views
But can you be patient
For a year or two?

Where will I be a million years from now?
Where will I be when I’m lost, when I’m found?
Who holds the key to the truth for which I long?
Who knows the way on this way-less path we’re on?

Ay-yi Ay-yi Ay-yi Ay-yi x 2

And I don’t know what tomorrow will bring
But I know that it might bring you-oo-oo
And I can be patient
For a year or two.
