What I Can’t Stop Listening To
Brendan Perry - Utopia
I am so hungry for new Brendan Perry, I feel like I can’t wait for next year. This is the teaser for the new album, and I love it already. I can’t ever adequately explain how Brendan Perry’s music captures the cynical romanticism of my personality, but somehow it’s like my whole life is in what he sings. And not in some self-pitying emo way either, but in a “kick your own ass and see what you can do and by the way it’s probably going to suck but do it anyway.” way.
I love him. Here are the lyrics to Utopia.
Filed under: lyrics, music, things that don't suck |I feel greater than the sum of all my parts
A domestic beast with a hairy heart
Trapped within a walled suburbiaI’ve found my taste is somewhat underground
Between the shadows and the cracks
I’m building my utopiaI need to break free from all that binds
That makes me old before my time
In this world of dystopiaMy love is like a bright guiding light
Shining in the darkness of the night
The star of my utopiaIn the motion of the sea
in the air that we breathe
Can you feel me?In the stars and in the trees
In the song of the bees
Can you hear me?Caged, golden memories
Time has come
to show your true feelingsI know it’s the only way to be
When the same old feelings
come over meI feel greater of all the sum of all my parts
A space jockey from a distant star
marooned upon dystopiaI’ve found my taste is somewhat underground
Between the shadows and the cracks
I am building my utopiaIn the motion of the sea
In the air that we breath
Can you feel me?In the stars and in the trees
In the song of the bees
Can you hear me?
