Rhinochimaera Costaricana (unplugged)

Unplugged acoustic folk-rock, intimate live-room performance, fingerpicked and lightly strummed steel-string acoustic guitar as the sole arrangement, occasional doubled acoustic guitar for lift, warm close-miked low adult male vocal, restrained communal harmonies only in the choruses, natural room ambience, gentle dynamic build from sparse verses to broader strumming, organic human timing, no drums, no bass, no electric instruments, no synths, preserve the original melody, rhythm, chorus hook and playful vintage character

[Verse 1] No prophecy, no chosen one, just one ancient bastard with a splendid name. Cold water where the daylight dies, a silver shadow passing by, long strange nose and enormous eyes, moving through the dark below the light. [Verse 2] No throne below, no sacred sign, no grand design, no warning sign, just one strange body built for depth and one tall spine above his back. No crown upon his head, no legend carved in stone. He doesn’t need your mythology. He’s doing fine alone. [Chorus] Na na na na na na Na na na na na Rhinochimaera Costaricana Na na na na na na Na na na na na Rhinochimaera Costaricana [Verse 3] We’re dangerous to us, we’ve killed our brothers enough. He isn’t hunting you or me, he’s busy chilling in the sea. Give him room and mind the spine, no need to make it grim. Leave your legends at the shore and let the bastard swim. [Verse 4] No hero and no enemy, no message from below. Some things don’t owe us meaning. Some things just come and go. [Chorus] Na na na na na na Na na na na na Rhinochimaera Costaricana Na na na na na na Na na na na na Rhinochimaera Costaricana [Bridge] Long before we named the dark, long before we drew the chart, something moved beneath the blue without a single thought of you. And after every flag is gone, every sermon, every song, cold water keeps on rolling through, and something strange keeps swimming on. [Final Chorus] Na na na na na na Na na na na na Rhinochimaera Costaricana Na na na na na na Na na na na na Rhinochimaera Costaricana [Outro] Rhinochimaera Costaricana
