lyrics

Jamie Starr would steal everything that you wore
And listen to the songs that you wrote
And all that you take from me
Would never make you come around
You've been missing since the father of time woke up
All the ladies crying “Lord don’t take yr life”
Come to me
Don’t ever leave
Come to me
My Prince of thieves
With love, there is no death
You've been missing since the dark of the night rolled up
All the ladies crying “Lord don’t take his life”
You've been hurting since the father of time woke up
All the ladies hang a light up for yr life

You’d sing “Free” to me
Playing from my tape machine
You've been missing since the dark of the night rolled up
All the ladies crying “Lord don’t take his life”
All the ladies cry: “With love there is no death!”
I wanna know where you are
And if it feels like it’s far
I wanna know where you are
Can I come?

about

The Besnard Lakes Montreal, Québec

Unique among their furrowed brow peers, The Besnard Lakes are unafraid to marry textured, questing headphone sonics to the honeyed pleasure of radio hits past: the rapture of My Bloody Valentine entwined with the romance of Fleetwood Mac. Imagine dreamy Beach House riding Led Zeppelin dynamics, with unabashedly androgynous vocal harmonies. ... more

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
