Lyrics:
Little Fly,
Thy summer's play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.
Am I not
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?
For I dance
And drink, and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.
If thought is life
And strength and breath
And the want
Of thought is death;
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die....

I’m working on new music…
You have no idea how many random joggers in the woods I've scared the living hell out of when I've been singing this and all your songs in my poncho, hair full of leaves and sticks, hands dirty and basket full of mushrooms, moss, feathers and bones. The bliss i get from stepping and jumping with the beat, swirling like crazy and just... Thank you! This is the anthem of my safe place, a place that is safe from greed anger and boredom <3
That moment when you have an existential crisis because you killed a fly.
I just looked at the year this was made I'm dead
I almost feel bad sharing this guy.. I love having unique music, that's not influenced by their record companies into making 'this day and age' crap, or 'stuff the people want' because this is the stuff I want! Cosmo, you need to get yourself out there. I saw your TED talk, great job, loved it and watched it 20 times, but you need to get promoted somehow, I don't care how, somehow. Get yourself out there, make it a living, and make us more epic stuff to listen to! - Big. Fan.
Everybody gangsta until the buzzing doesn’t stop when you pause the video
Ah yes, fly, my favourite instrument.
People. We know our duty now... Promote the hell out of this. Facebook walls. Twitter feeds. Sharing your headphones with friends... What ever it takes. Get THIS out there. Hell, if we all just share it once... It will change his life forever.

Hello Cosmo! I know there's a
Where the social anxiety meme squad at?
Cosmo, you probably won't ever read this, but these songs are brilliant. you've literally taken poetry and put it in a form that i can understand, I thank you.
i don't think any music i've ever listened to before has been so fun to draw to the beat with
i love this song
i seriously do not understand why this doesn't have millions of views.
mailing this man a box of graham's cookies he earned it!
listening to cosmo sheldrake
the fly buzzing made me shudder but I love the song!!!
I am actually really mad that only Birthday suit and Come along went viral. Cosmo Sheldrake has so many severely underrated bangers.
i keep commenting on these but this song could have cured my depression if I was like 8% more functional
