about

Inspired by a phrase from W. B. Yeats referencing an old Irish perspective on death

lyrics

Sometimes it feels like I fell out of the sky
Out of the sky
Out of the sky
Down from the stars
Down from the stars

Look up now, Look up at the sky, Look up high
Look up high
Look up high
Look up high
See the sun come
See the sun come
See the sun

For the day we become, We become one,
We become
We become
We become
One
One

Take me there, all the way, I don’t want to stay
Here now
Here now
Here now
Here now
Here now
Here now

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance. Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️ tararosehip
