lyrics

The moon casting invisible rhymes
the stars stuccoed to forgotten times
the rain flies past in its last helpless jaunt
it’s going to be a long night
The inferno of your spirit
sparks in deadly release
our souls fly up like lanterns
and then crash down by our feet
We’re sick and starry eyed
riding on a high
we just get so low
lost in paradise
happens all the time
we just get so low

I’m getting blind drunk with the man I love
while lamplight flickers up above
she’s channelling the dark heart of Spain
in the back of the bar we’re going insane
The room was red lady matador blue
her bones supplicant to the violin tune
her chest revealed beneath her suit of lights
her body twisting long into the night

Now I really can see all we have tonight
Now I really can see all we have tonight

Love Is My Rebellion

Listened to this album driving home the night lockdown was announced so I wouldn't be alone at uni and it really uplifted me on the journey. Every time I listen to it now I'm reminded of how surreal the experience was and how everything was so scary and uncertain and I wasn't even going to be able to hug my mum for a couple of weeks when I got home, but something about this album just felt so optimistic and comforting. Leaves such a warm feeling despite reminding me of an uncertain time. emilyra99
