lyrics

You were on a quest for the Holy Grail
Throwing pennies in the wishing well
Searching everywhere but inside yourself
and did you even notice the albatross that follows you?

Look into your crystal ball
See how I’ve loved you
and those mistakes you make
don’t say I didn’t warn you

When you look back
and all the doors are broken
It’s best you move on
Call it a battle won

Day was turning into night
The hand of fate had rolled the dice
And did you think it was a sacrifice
to shoot down the albatross that followed you?

Look into your crystal ball
See how I’ve loved you
and those mistakes you make
don’t say I didn’t warn you

If you look back
and all the doors are broken
It’s best you move on
Call it a battle won

Look into your crystal ball
See how I’ve loved you
and those mistakes you make
don’t say I didn’t warn you

If you return and find my door is open
It means you were asleep
but now you have awoken
and it’s best we carry on

And call it a battle won

everything is alive
by Slowdive

supported by 4 fans who also own “Holy Grail”

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

Intimate and unique. This album plays well with a bottle of Syrah crunched up in your finest pair of headphones with candles lit in a steamy bubble bath. sig
