lyrics
You don’t know where it began
You held hope in time unfolding
But it’s all in your hands
In your self-healing heart
The words are on paper through silent cries found
Like a fountain without water
All penny-less and dry
Like a child without a dream
To guide them through night
It is the voice of reason
Like a soothing lullaby
Standing upon the shore
Looking out to sunrise
And as the words on the paper take flight in your mind
You ask yourself can a song save your life.
It is the arms of a hero
As they cradle you tight
Like the strength of euphoria
Lifting you high
And as the words wrote on paper flow free with the tide
You ask yourself can a song save your life
You held hope in time unfolding
But it’s all in your hands
In your self-healing heart
The words are on paper through silent cries found
Like a fountain without water
All penny-less and dry
Like a child without a dream
To guide them through night
It is the voice of reason
Like a soothing lullaby
Standing upon the shore
Looking out to sunrise
And as the words on the paper take flight in your mind
You ask yourself can a song save your life.
It is the arms of a hero
As they cradle you tight
Like the strength of euphoria
Lifting you high
And as the words wrote on paper flow free with the tide
You ask yourself can a song save your life

Sky Diving Penguins
by Sky Diving PenguinsThe 4th consecutive listen, on first release, made me equal part happy/sad... it's a stunning LP, especially "Trippin #9"; this is what Lennon may have been doing if he were alive today. I'm in love.

The Great Swells That Carry Us Will Pull Us Under
by AARONSONIt swims, and swirls. Like a lovely combination of Sigur Ros and Mogwai. Hugely cinematic and atmospheric, it's just a dream to hear., and see now that it's on luscious ocean blue vinyl!
