lyrics

Tell me you need me.
Tell me you want me still.
Tell me we’re good, we’re good, we’re good...

Find the end of the string and pull.
Take my hand.
Let’s walk along and count the stars.
Let’s count the stars, pretend they’re ours
cuz baby, we’re all alone now.
We’re all alone together.

Kill the king and the queen
cuz they’re just anguished and mean.
It’s time to beat the drums.
Destroy the things we thought we loved the best,
cuz baby, it’s all sand and we are alone now.
We are alone.
We are together.

Come on, lover, tell me you need me.
Tell me you love me still.
Tell me you want me.
Let’s burn it all.
We’re good, we’re good, we’re good...
Let’s burn it all and start again.

Find the edge of the world and jump.
Close your eyes, feel your heavy body falling.
We are light again.
We’ll never land alone.
We’re not alone, together.

We’re good, we’re good, we’re good...

Carla Kihlstedt = quality music, to me. This is excellent creative music, wonderfully recorded and mixed, probably my fave for 2017. Early days (first listen), but I'm so enthusiastic I just started typing this after hearing the 7th track (WHAT A MELODY!). Deeply intriguing, emotionally charging and cognitively tickling all of your senses...I absolutely love it! Fans of Sarah Kirkland Snider, My Brightest Diamond, even Bjork, and Kihlstedt of course should check it out... Tjarko Busink
