lyrics

Death crawls through my window
And as the evening dances
An honest man falls from his iron frame
This is where lonely hearts live
On my blanket, there’s a window
And as the evening dances
She calls
Calls
Calls
To him
On my blanket, there’s a window
It’s now yr dream, not yr life
This is goodbye my love
Christmas can wait
For the life of beauty and pain
Wrote my future without reservation
From some old circumstance
It was a small sacrifice
For the life of beauty and pain
That suspends us in its grace
The thing I lost will last an eternity

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
