about

This liminal anthem uses some of the funkiest Afro Brazilian rhythms. Maculele, Ijexa and Maracatu from Bahia. The lyric encapsulates the freedom of dreaming and risking flying as close as you can to the edge of the boundary before waking up. Tight bass and swirling keyboards keep you grounded as ethereal guitar and vocals flow through you. Layers of groove encouraging you to deviate from the path the song is simultaneously leading you down, until the lines become less tangible as you drift off.

lyrics

Its rising in the night
When the lights are out
The garden of your dreams
Where the waters golden

An unexpected view
Of when wrongs is right
Reflected in your skin
By your restless mind

Read between the lines
To escape
This space and time

Your moving with the flow
But the currents fast
The natural disguise
Of a quiet demon

beneath a crashing wave
Stands a stands a blinding light
The ultimate surprise
for your weary eyes

Beyond all the fear
You hold
of the unknown
That keeps you
standing still
In motion as
you fight
You have to
Read between the lines
To escape
This space and time
