Cosmo Sheldrake - Does the Swallow Dream of Flying

Музыка

Stream the new album Eye To The Ear here: found.ee/eyetotheear
This is a song that I wrote in the solar powered shed studio during one of the lockdowns. It is an attempt to imagine the world from different perspectives, including that of a bird, a flower a river and the wind. It also features HOWL.

Lyrics:
Does the swallow dream of flying,
As it sleeps on the wing,
Does it long for the summer,
As it flies home for spring,
Does daisy feel a sadness,
At the last rays of sun,
Does the wind feel a gladness,
At the work that it’s done.
I won’t go making mountains,
Out of molehills,
Anymore,
I won’t go chasing windmills,
Round in circles,
Anymore,
I won’t go preaching sermons,
To the choir what’s it for?
I won’t go through the motions anymore.
Does the river ever wonder,
What will come round the bend?
As it twists and meanders,
Down its slow descent.
I looked out over London,
With my last cup of tea,
My gaze was returned by,
Grey cloud and steel.
My music, shows/tour dates, merch, socials and more can be found here

    instant connection with this one, sonically and lyrically... the humming throughout and the choir towards the end speaks to my entire nervous system somehow, which is very great timing, because lately it's been going a bit haywire without my permission. "i won't go through the motions anymore." is a sentiment that resonates in so many ways. beautiful work as always

    I love the questioning of animals and the nature, asking if they have humanlike emotions to the things they do every day. Do they second guess themselves? Do they worry about the next move? Do they iverthinl? Do they feel the joy of making it through the day? Then him understanding that he shouldnt worry as much as he does, "i wont go through the motions" gives me the vibe of depression cycles, how it starts small and gets worse. Then the ending shows his acceptance of those feelings, as they are, and letting them just be, not controlling him
