lyrics

Chaos of the universe
Here you are in the very first verse
Light sweet on my black-haired nurse

Never your father nor your mother
Sing among young’uns
Never your sister, it wouldn’t kiss her
Ring strong her longs
Cranes and shallows trapped inside

Their chests swollen with light
Rise up and lose sight of your heights
Sweet dreams in your measureless flights

Never your father nor your mother
Sing among young’uns
Even your sister, they wouldn’t kiss her
Oh to belong
Don’t you let it get you down

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
