lyrics
Low on a Sunday afternoon
High on Sunday evening.
Strangers around me pressing,
Passing through.
There’s reason to think that what you said
About happily ever after,
Wasn’t a lie
But wasn’t quite the truth.
There’s a hole in my heart
Where it all keeps going
Oh, dear stranger can’t you help me out?
This isn’t over just because
Nothing is ever over
This isn’t over
Until the night goes quiet.
Give me some truth,
Give me some proof
Give me a reason for this.
Give me an answer
That no words require.
There’s a hole in my heart
Where it all keeps going
Oh, dear stranger can’t you hear me calling?
There’s a hole in my heart
Where it all keeps going
Oh, dear stranger can’t you help me out?
It’s getting better if you want it
Isn’t that what they tell you to do?
The mind’s a killer if you let it
And the heart is a tomb.
When I’m with you on a summer morning
Feeling good, you by my side,
A little light and a little warning
That’s how I’ll survive…
High on Sunday evening.
Strangers around me pressing,
Passing through.
There’s reason to think that what you said
About happily ever after,
Wasn’t a lie
But wasn’t quite the truth.
There’s a hole in my heart
Where it all keeps going
Oh, dear stranger can’t you help me out?
This isn’t over just because
Nothing is ever over
This isn’t over
Until the night goes quiet.
Give me some truth,
Give me some proof
Give me a reason for this.
Give me an answer
That no words require.
There’s a hole in my heart
Where it all keeps going
Oh, dear stranger can’t you hear me calling?
There’s a hole in my heart
Where it all keeps going
Oh, dear stranger can’t you help me out?
It’s getting better if you want it
Isn’t that what they tell you to do?
The mind’s a killer if you let it
And the heart is a tomb.
When I’m with you on a summer morning
Feeling good, you by my side,
A little light and a little warning
That’s how I’ll survive…

everything is alive
by Slowdivesupported by 4 fans who also own “Dear Stranger”
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
