lyrics

As I turn my look over these orange rooftops today
My thoughts are racing fast
and this city of dreams, so far from home
gives me a wistful feeling

my past mistakes and achievements, they don't count here
cause I am just a trespasser in this eternity

Maybe it's these misty bridges that I cross
that get me sentimental
and I'm wondering
whether it's my luck or destiny
that has brought me here this time

I forget where I came from
and where I'm going to
and that's exactly what I've been looking for sometime

Have you ever seen a sky so blue, or a horizon so vast?
it's an affection that was made to last in my mind

Nobody knows when I'll be back here
Nobody knows when I'll see you again

Now it seems to me that I can see clearer
What I'm gonna do with my life
since I took some distance to listen
what the wind had to say to me

and it said: "I see so many good things comin, hope they'll reach you soon
suspicions, they will fade away, turning the gloom into bloom"

Alec Danger recommends:

Pool
by Porches

The name says a lot. It's something you want to dive into and float. The vocals that reminded me of Arthur Russell and the minimalistic, dancey production of 'Underwater' hit me on the first listen. Alec Danger

SUGAR
by Ruby Haunt

I first heard the track 'Desire' from them and then moved on to listen to more of their stuff. They struck me with the 80's connotations and straight-forward lyrics. Sheer outsiderism! Alec Danger

The Post
by The Post

The Post is one of the best new Finnish indie rock acts, one that way more people should know about. Lush and orchestral arrangements with thoughtful lyrics. Alec Danger
