about

A dreamy track, dancing on a line and finding space to be, on the inside.

lyrics

LYRICS:

Are you thinking of anything
Are you dancing with one foot raised
Feeling how you moves through space
Or are you waiting…. for it to come down?

And are you walking with yourself
Thinking of someone else
Are you listening to the trees?
And the traffic and the people
And the traffic and the people
And the birds you feel the breeze now
Maybe the rain is going to come down

But you racing from here to there
And did you ever get there yet?
You know I do from time to time
I jump I run I ride
I push until I’m blind
Until the white noise I’ve been walking in
Falls away like waxen wings
Stripped naked to my tender skin
And all that silence

And then I go dancing with one foot raised in the air
Feel how I move through space I am there
Body and mind awake, I let the music take me
And for now I am not looking down
You want to fly, you must let go the ground

But that’s alright, you know you cannot measure
How it feels to fly, even if every feather
Once raised on the weather
Will have to come down

So I go dancing with one foot raised
Feeling how I move through space
I go walking with myself
Thinking of nothing else
Just listening to the trees
And the traffic and the people
And the birds I feel the breeze now
Maybe the rain is going to come down

Oh I can feel it
