Wukimon is a Swedish indietronica group originally founded in 2002 by members Jonas Einarsson, David Jacobsson, Olof Sellgren and Jonas Borell. Most of Wukimon’s songs are rather mellow electronica songs with influences from indiepop and trip hop as well as folk. Some of the instrumental tracks would however be better categorized as 'contemporary classical minimalism' in the same vein as Steve Reich and John Cage.

Story behind the song

The lyrics for this one where written during a trip to India. I'd like to thank the pack of monkeys that inhabit the old palace of the Maharaja of Bundi for the inspiration they gave me. I wrote the music and recorded the song the following fall while in a state of mild psychosis. It ended up some kind of psychedelic singer-songwriter electropop waltz.

Lyrics

You better watch out for the lady named freedom 
     She'll make you forget your life
     You'll give her your family, your friends and your    
     kingdom then maybe she'll be your wife
     Just rest your head and she will heal you 
     The blessings of raindrops will shower your harvest
     Open your hands and recieve them.

     Bless me, bless me, bless me into usefulness
     Oh, bless me, bless me, bless me into bliss
     
     I'm almost holy, I'm not like you
     I'm almost holy, I'm not like you
     Everybody knows you're sinkin' babe,
     and everybody knows you're blue
     I'm almost holy, I'm not like you

     In the palace next door the monkeys live
     Years have gone now since they took it over
     Noone really bothered to resist them
     It's been a mellow revolution
     Just one good word and they will love you
     Bring out their troubles in celophane wrappings
     Set them afloat down the river

     Bless me, bless me, bless me into usefulness.
     Oh, bless me, bless me, bless me into bliss.
     
     I'm almost holy, I'm not like you
     I'm almost holy, I'm not like you
     Everybody knows you're sinkin' babe,
     and everybody knows you're blue
     I'm almost holy, I'm not like you

     This acid rain is sweet, it makes me feel better
     This acid rain is sweet, makes me feel good
     It's a cold fire...
     It's a mirror...
     It makes me feel just like you

     I'm almost holy, just like you 
     I'm almost holy, I'm just like you 
     Just like you
     I'm just like you
