about

This was a rephrased poem written by Jorja Oke and turned into a song for this compilation, for the first time.

I've since re-recorded this song about 3 times on different albums but this version always brings me back to the original sound i wanted (full orchestra woulda been nice!)

I was just starting to get into Brian Wilsons' late 60s production at the time which inspired alot of the production choices i made while recording this track.

Big thanks to Curious George for her lyrics and inspiration for this song to come to fruition!

lyrics

Let's just lay wait for the sheets to cool down
They always start out covering us but end up protecting the ground.
As we get closer not even a whisper could squeeze itself between.
We still try, intertwine and unwind at the same time.

This bed became an island, can you hear the waves?
You hear everything I don't have to say.
Our own island plush with pillows and lush with love.
So healthily happy alive and glowing at your side.
Early light reflecting off white linen sands at our feet.
Wish there was more of me to occupy more of you.

Close your eyes pretend we don't notice the ship thats' come to take us home.
Supposedly it will return us safely to safety and back to the world that we left in the first place.
