From the recording Ondoezik.1 : Lifeboat
Acoustic bass on top of a soundscape made out of dozens of guitar loops (all layered in real time). Moody. The opening line of each verse is intended to sound like it appears far away and comes into focus as I sing it. The vibes add some jazzy, well.... 'vibe'.... I think.
Inspired a lot by Mark Hollis and his later work in Talk Talk.
Lyrics
No counterfeit sun will rise
The wind will glide upon sighs
Another beautiful day - drips into the waves
Higher than all these waves of cars
Which crash the beach on fields of Mars
We should mean something more
Rise above
Rise above
Another beautiful day - drips into the waves
We should mean something more
We should mean something more
We should mean something more
We should mean something more
We should mean something more (Branches bow, break and fall)
We should mean something more (But in the end, so will we all)
We should mean something more (We should embrace, something bigger than us)
We should mean something more (Our quivering lives, rise above rust)
