lyrics

DROUGHT

we watched your shores recede, your wells dry up, your rivers turn to sand
we kissed your desiccated lips and felt the coarseness of your hands
your fields were withering, your fruits had lost the sweetness they once had
starved of your nourishment we questioned what we'd done to be so damned

back and forth until the rain clouds come

despite the glare of your unsympathetic sun we fought to see
the shifting contours of the dunes that gave your shape a poetry
long after sunset we lay freezing and abandoned on the plains
we dreamed of luscious foreign lands and drank imaginary rains

back and forth until the rain clouds come

What a beautiful, haunting experience all around, always melts me from start to finish. Incredible and deep sound, amazing atmosphere and cohesion, unexpected jazz elements unlike anything I've heard, and don't get me started on the vocals. Really hard to choose a favorite track. dan-rod
