Drown - Even As We Speak (from Munch Part One)

Thanks to Dave (Season Records) - for uploading
Written by Matt Love

The stars are bright tonight, but give a far away light
And on these cloudless nights I breathe in deep my thoughts are clear
Run moonlight fingers through your hair
You didn't say you loved me but I didn't really care
I went looking for the Buddha, but I couldn't find him anywhere

There's no smoke no flame just heat and stealth
No barricades to keep us to ourselves

I feel I could hold you in my arms and still not know where you are
And be happy somehow just
Turning you round
And pinning you down
If mistrust was water we'd drown

When warning lights are flashing red
The stars are bright but have no friends
And in my crumpled bed I breath in deep my thoughts are clear
Run moonlight fingers through your hair
You know there is no god above, you know there is no perfect love
Went looking for the Buddha but I couldn't find him anywhere

Perfect song, from the first second to the last :) But it still brings tears to my eyes as it is the last song on the last Sarah records ('There And Back Again Lane') :'(

Yes - certainly a priviledge....

To me, the video always looked like it came straight out of a Dr. Suess book. But it's a great clip, and the wonderful thing is that the song still sounds as fresh today as when I first heard it so many years ago.

I actually first saw the clip on a documentary about Australian bands trying to make it in the music industry. I never caught the name of the band or song until I saw it again on the Munch video!

The whole album Feral Pop Frenzy is a masterpiece - a kaleidoscopic musical odyssey veering from folk to sea shanties to spoken word to power pop to jangle pop to acoustic melancholy to electro and back again...... this song is the cherry on top of the sumptuous cake.

[tofupuppy]
