lyrics

Daddy’s gone, Daddy’s gone to go to work today
To make a little money, you gotta get paid
Bake a cake, bake a cake and set it on a plate
Up high where the dogs can’t get it, so it don’t get ate

When you lay your head on your pillow I’ll be gone
When you breathe your dreams into your pillow breathe them strong

I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone

Close your eyes, close your eyes until your dreams arrive
And keep them tight where the hounds can’t get ‘em
So they don’t get ate

When you raise your head from your pillow don’t delay, as people decay
When you let the rays of the sun help you along

I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone

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
