lyrics

They say in time that everyone will find someone
Who shines just like the full moon
And the stars above

Love is like a matchstick
It ignites in me an ever-growing flame
I'd like to let it burn

Ba ba-ba
Ba ba-ba
Ba ba-ba
Ba, ba

It's been so long since we first met
The days go by
And I'm the sky at night just waiting for the light

I don't have much to say
Except that I wish you would go away
You light another match
Then throw it right my way

Love, love is like a matchstick
Love, love is like a matchstick

everything is alive

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch
