You Are So Alive

You are so alive
You are so alive
I can feel your shape in my hands
Even though it’s been so long since I held you
They say that grief runs dry
And transforms into dust
But my oh my it hurts
You are so alive
You are so alive
If you were watching
Would you be laughing or crying?
Would you even choose to watch at all?
We were born to love the wild night
The field frames the view
The wind blows through
The gate swings shut
[La la la la la]
You are so alive
You are so alive

In The Sun
04:26
|

|
In the sun we try to forget about it
We raise our hands and laugh into the sky
First bus coming for us
It’s cutting through the streets between the cars
Wooden box, wooden boat
On my desk a handwritten note of dreams, desires
Don’t look down there’s moss on the ground
And over the lake a little stone bridge caked in mud
Do you remember the way we used to feel
Before being crushed by the weight
By the choice
In the sun we try to forget about it
We raise our hands and laugh into the sky
This big world
A bright white pearl
Drifting through and up into the cosmos, all over us
A bale of hay, a broken bike
Summer’s here but I can tell it’s passing, leaving
A thousand kind of hidden lives
Tucked into the seams of our beds, we rest our heads
A house burned down to the ground
We all walked past and barely said a thing
We didn’t look

Rain
04:12
|
|||
|
Rain rolling across the Thames
The city’s cut in two
And now we are too
A grey mountain of waves
Crashing over
Into the pines and
Rolling into forever
Now we look at the world together
I can see the lines
Trapped in a crowded space
Forever climbing high
This city is on its side
This city is on its side
And just like that the night passed
We had to let the day break
I held us and kissed us
I had to forgive us
The day sobbed
The park laughed at us
I just stood and watched
As we became strangers

Talulah
04:33
|

|
Hey Talulah I see you there
Curled up behind a locked door
It’s not your fault
It’s not your fault You’re so strong
You’ve done nothing wrong
You’ve done nothing wrong
Heal slowly
You might heal slowly
But just as a seed breaks open
Your heart will grow again
As we walk
Between the chalk
Across the clay
Atop the ridge
Once more you opened my vice
You kept me moving out of the shell
I had become
I had become
When I lost myself
For someone else
For someone else

To Be Or To Serve
03:48
|
|||
|
To be or to serve
To be or to serve
With a clearer mind
You can see the mind of others more clearly
But right now
You’re looking at the sky with your eyes closed
Silently we said the words
Effortlessly I was myself
I held onto a version of you
Then we stepped right out into the woods
To be or to serve
To be or to serve
That twisted stump looks like a deer’s leg
And there’s a crucifix made out of twigs
People without homes live out here
The cliff was crying as I walked by

In The Tall Room
04:50
|
|||
|
I’m held in the sound of the cage
Of a butterfly’s wings flapping
We’re all forgetting who we are
Who am I in this moment?
Walking alone
In the tall room
We were dancing
I was holding you
The way I used to
The way I always will
We’re bathed in a blue glow
And I can feel the space between our feet
The walls are shaking, bones are breaking
And I’m out in the hills
I’m down on one knee The walkers smile knowingly
In the tall room
We were dancing
I was holding you
The way I used to
The way I always will

Lucille
04:06
|
|||
|
I woke up from a dream
There were blackbirds falling from the trees
I could feel my heart beating in my teeth
A softness came up over me
Lucille on the bed
Bare skin, white sheets
Bird song from the rafters
Love spilling out like laughter
Lucille on the bed
Interconnected
To everyone and the breath
Love spilling out
Love spilling out
Love spilling out
Love spilling out
I thought that the train had left the station
But the train was a mirage
And I was standing in the heat
I could feel the image fading
I was drifting away
Towards the sunlit canyon
And a block of clay
Dust and carousels
Home
And so we start again
And so we start again

Exhaustion
04:25
|
|||
|
Exhaustion is a feature of the system
Oppression colours every transaction
I’m looking for soft space
I’m reaching for formless space
I’m searching for shapes in the clouds
You said we’d talk again
But then you disappeared
A soft hand reaching out
Right in front of me
Defences melting
And I’m just sitting here
We breathe the same air
Until we don’t
And then the silence came
A creature without a name
A lie so intricate it intoxicates
Don’t cry, don’t let yourself cry
We did it again
We did it again

A Narrow Road
03:00
|
|||
|
A narrow road tumbling on
I said hello to the trees
Watching over me
Lucid, rooted dreams
Crafting slowly in the morning
Softly floating above the chair
Eternity, transient, surrounding us
A waterfall, a full moon, the rocks
Watching over me
Lucid, rooted dreams

Can’t wait to see PBE in Penrith with Debbie, Gina and Seb. This is my current favourite album with gorgeous synths, bass and drums pounding out such a danceable beat.

Sometimes I Forget You're Human Too
by Bored at My Grandmas House
supported by 4 fans who also own “You Are So Alive”
The whole album is otherworldly. The sound qualities make me feel, similar to the first track, underwater. Maybe mermaid pop sounds like this. The honesty and bare-bones sounds are beautiful and I hope she continues to be bored at Grandma's house if it helps keep creating these lovely tunes. 😊 🌊 🎶
