about

A brooding folk jazz ballad about sadness and needing to breathe, arising into a celebratory party jam drawing strength from the Naranth Branthan.

Love and thanks to Owen Hewson and Phil Holmes for jamming this out in early versions!

lyrics

Breathe, breath of the leaves
Leaves of the tree tops
Blow, blow on the tea
Tea that is too hot
Soft light of the clouds
Clouds hide the sun
Sun seeks you out
Out of it all
All that's below
Blow on the tea
Tea is for taking a moment
To see what's going on.

Breathe, breath of the leaves
Leaves of the tree tops
Top, top of the morn
Morn for you lost crops
Crops cover the world
World in a spin
Spin round the sun
Sun seeks you out
Out of it all
All that's below
Low is a feeling we all know
From time to time

In our lives
In our lives
In our lives
It's a nuanced light
When you're spinning right
Around the sun
Readily we'll remedy this problem
Readily, and steadily
We'll see what can be done

And if the mad man of Naranath can
Push that rock, to the top
And laugh as it rolls down
The mighty mountain
Then maybe I just
Made too much fuss
Of nothing

And if the mad man of Naranath can
Push that rock, to the top
And laugh as it rolls down
The mighty mountain
Then maybe I just
Made too much fuss
Of nothing

And if the mad man of Naranath can
Push that rock, to the top
And laugh as it rolls down
The mighty mountain
Then maybe I just
Made too much fuss
Of nothing
