about

Written & recorded during the first month of the Covid-19 outbreak, in direct response to it, while sheltering in place.

(Files were emailed back & forth to maintain social distancing).

Despite the heavy times, the song carries a sense of optimism. It was loosely inspired by novella The Little Prince (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry); the first book I turned to for comfort.

lyrics

Suddenly tamed, the stars in your halo
The sky that has changed
You live there with Godot
Something like fate reflects through your window
Its enough to bring you back from zero

Wake! (water in the ground)
Record the lake
Document its sound
Something like waves reverberate through clouds
Its enough to bring you into right now

Reaching our hands across still water
Casual stand, something like laughter
Dancing to Can
Spilling a puzzle
Its enough to make me want to let go of doubt

Scream through the signal
Electrical drown, trees in your igloo
Embrace in sound
Embrace in circles
Its enough to bring you back from zero

Unclothed in your chair of pastel green leather
I simply stare at you in your sweater
Look at your hair fall on your shoulder
Its enough to make my hands explore your thorns
The roses look dreamy
The sand is forlorn
cause the prince is leaving
The pages are torn -- drawing what you see
Its enough to tame the sky around me, love

Float home, love.

My previous band. We played together from 2011-2019; opened for Dandy Warhols, Lemonheads, among others; and were considered part of the shoegaze scene, though I'm not sure if we were shoegaze or not. Nate Wey
