lyrics

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.

everything is alive

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 Daniel Welsch
