Oh, My Girl
04:38
|

|
On a distant hill
I get my body to lay still.
Without my home,
this work I must do all alone.
Between them trees,
is all the world's fuckery.
I begged for light,
where you once stood,
a fever came and I called your name.
My girl,
Let's dance
across that sunlit room.
Oh, my girl.
I'll hold you in the afternoon.
If evening's kind,
It'll give us light
to take our time.
When that treeline's gone,
you will know I've carried on.
My girl,
Let's dance,
across that sunlit room.
Oh, my girl,
I'll hold you in the afternoon.

You Are Not Gotten Here
04:17
|
|||
|
No, you are not gotten here,
We've been shut down for some years.
You waited 'til the warmth of spring,
To be let in.
Oh, there's fire on your tongue,
face of a forgotten one.
No, you are not gotten here,
Belle of the sea, carry me.
There's a ghost across the room,
In the afternoon.
Oh, there's fire on your tongue,
Face of a forgotten one

Troubled Soul
05:09
|
|||
|
My heart knows
It needs protection
While it grows
Somebody show me
A place I can go where love's around
A trip to the ocean
I just need to get far from town
There's no way around this
No way around this
No way around this troubled soul
Now you're gone
And I stand, I stand
Between time
Somebody show me
A place I can go where love's around
A trip to the ocean
I just need to get far from town

The Dreaming Dead
06:03

What did I have
Oh, what did I have?
Search for the diamond shine,
through the door.
What ever I did, lord
I would do again.
Oh, what did I have then?
Don't say it's over,
hilltop leaves turn gold and red.
Don't say it's over,
your black eyes remind me,
of the Dreaming Dead.
Turn up the future
Turn off the past.
Only in your arms
Will this fire last.
What ever I did, lord
I would do again,
Oh, what did I have then?
Don't say it's over,
hilltop leaves turn gold and red.
Don't say it's over,
your black eyes remind me,
of the Dreaming Dead.

Your Eyes Told
05:31
|
|||
|
Tin roof shaking, crashing black
Well, I ain't going back
Deliver me, take me in
Let me breathe your coarse wind
Day is empty, night too long
River hums a sweet song
Every song your lungs sang
Every lie your eyes told
Canyon whisper, canyon weep
I thought you were behind me
Tin roof shaking, crashing black
Well I ain't going back
Deliver me, take me in
Let me breathe your coarse wind

Birds Over Water
06:36
|
|||
|
We used to be free
Like birds over water
Small mysteries
Lost and forgotten
You kissed the moon
And I hugged the sea
Troublesome things
They fall down on me
Fall down on me
Drifting back in
To the slick again
We used to be free
Like birds over water

Winter Hunter
05:27

|
Tell the winter hunter
I knew, I knew
nothing of you then.
And when the snow had melted,
I was, I was beneath you.
Still, there is no place
Still, there is no place.
Where was I?
Where was I . . . Was I?
Tell the winter hunter,
I knew, I knew,
of a heart gone still.
We crossed the tracks that carry.
and I was, I was beneath you.
But still, there is no place.
Still, there is no place

House By The Lake
05:31
|
|||
|
Fill your pockets full of river stones,
for us, deep beneath the soul.
On your stockings a songbird sang,
alone, all alone.
Oh, these things that hold onto me,
drag my feet across the sky.
Oh, these things they don't belong to me,
this time, oh this time.
Baby, it's time to go
To that house down by the lake
Baby, it's time to go
To that house down by the lake
A beauty all by herself,
Just floating peacefully,
Death had forgotten her,
Like she's,
forgotten me.

Grow A New Heart
05:34
|
|||
|
Could you grow a new heart?
And could you run the distance?
In the time that it takes,
Before it all fell apart?
We fell through the cracks,
stole the sheets and burned the maps,
watched the smoke fly from the stacks,
before it all fell apart.
Particles out on the fringe,
there's a heaviness this stillness brings.
Those twisted palms, oh, how they swing,
telling tales, of young breathless things.
Things that move on,
left wandering where the mystery's gone,
we made it 'cross that frozen pond,
before it all fell apart.

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans
