about

This song is a reminder

lyrics

Stay awake
come undone

Dance your way
into the sun

Your train collided with the morning news
poi dancer laughing lit the fuse
once again I'm skipping, twitching, on the edge
remember when your song bird fled

You're the joy
You're the fearless lover

Stay sane
have your fun

In an ugly way
you came undone

Rub my arms as I listen to a familiar song
the kids are rocking out to a delayed, over-saturated, sampled gong
the river's flowing
and we're sat wondering what went wrong

You're the joy
You're the fearless lover

Stay awake
have your fun

Don't explain
just let it run

She's channeling the dark glamour again
a youth that's dancing where it hurts
and marveling at the excerpts
downloading the singles to save up for the concerts
don't be desperate first one hundred

You're the joy
You're the fearless lover

Dharma farmer feeling calmer
sense the earth
lawyer hammer, dirty glamour
try and hide it in the turf
well something's changing
and we've just had enough of this

You're the joy
You're the fearless lover

My eyes are puddles of nostalgia
my brain a wild animal hard to tame
but lovable all the same
my heart is flaming
Mama said to trust your gut

You're the joy
You're the fearless lover

Badun
by Badun

Really nice. It all happens so naturally and beautifully. I love the constant movement and simultaneous tranquility, the lack of conventional phrasings and just the quality, feel and colors of it all Ferdi Ribes
