This is an old track that I've reworked as the themes fit very comfortably with the album. You get it with album purchase.
lyrics
Unlike the child who sleeps,
You can't spend time counting sheep...
And unlike the blurry fall
Of age and learning into nought....
You've got the world around
Tell me what you've written down?
A sea of idle thought
Never seeking what you've sought
Pre-Chorus:
Formula's & sketches
Of all you see
Pretend
To show reality
Cho:
For the word "define"
Requires the finite
With a separation from the rest
And experience
Is the consequence
Of a universe that separates itself.
Verse 2:
Under the apple tree
You've got knowledge for a fee.
Your lifespan: short, defined;
You can't spend it killing time.
'Cause you've got the world around
Tell me, are your systems down?
Your brain, your eyes, your hands -
Tell me what happens to them?
Pre-Chorus:
Algebra & anthems
Of all of history
Pretend
To show reality
Cho:
As phenomena
Make a life abrupt & unchained,
I predict you see
Unfurling debris of Truth & Permanence.
Big Sir was something I had on repeat for a while, the bassist from the Mars Volta, delicate vocals over intricate basslines and groovy melodics, what's not to love :) Aleya
Subtly complex arrangement, blissful production. Bought it as soon as I heard "Comfort". Not surprised Street Rat is based in Australia, there's hints of Hiatus Kaiyote and Laneous & the Family Yah. Aleya
It's lush, futuristic music coming from below the equator in Mexico via Venezuela. I'm so glad I happened on this, listen to La Estrella Irregular for futuristic fusion amazingness! Aleya
Alia Seror-O'Neill and producer Lewie Day make compelling trip hop that sounds like Portishead meets the Cocteau Twins. Bandcamp New & Notable May 25, 2023
