Long ago a world was born,
Along a journey, timeless worn,
Made out of light and gravity-
Part of a stellar nursery,
And after many, many years,
Under an early atmosphere,
All of the fragile elements
Eventually commenced into:
All the oceans, all the lovely oceans,
All the oceans, all the lovely oceans,
All the oceans, all the lovely oceans,
All the oceans, all the lovely oceans,
All the oceans, all the lovely oceans,
All the oceans, all the lovely oceans.
And as the fires from within,
Combined with comets on the fringe,
The surface orbited and cooled,
Allowing microscopic ooze
To take a chance upon the shore,
Turning into something more
Than what the continental crust
Could've imagined as it blushed with
All the forests, all the lovely forests,
All the forests, all the lovely forests,
All the forests, all the lovely forests,
All the forests, all the lovely forests,
All the forests, all the lovely forests,
All the forests, all the lovely forests,
All the forests, all the lovely forests,
In between the greenery,
And oxygen it breathed
Into a placed where life evolved
And countless creatures heard the call
Becoming one part of the dance
And in the blink of time, the chance,
To realize the universe
As a gift and not a curse on
All the people, all the lovely people,
All the people, all the lovely people,
All the people, all the lovely people,
All the people, all the lovely people,
All the people, all the lovely people,
All the people, all the lovely people,
All the people, all the lovely people,
The power to predict
The future often tries to trick
Us into thinking that we're right
Until we disagree and fight,
But one fact remains the same:
The sun and earth will end someday,
Except that nothing gets destroyed-
Even a black hole fills the void with
All the colors, all the lovely colors,
All the colors, all the lovely colors,
All the colors, all the lovely colors,
All the colors, all the lovely colors,
All the colors, all the lovely colors,
All the colors, all the lovely colors,
All the colors, all the lovely colors,
All the oceans, all the lovely oceans,
All the oceans, all the lovely oceans,
All the forests, all the lovely forests,
All the forests, all the lovely forests,
All the people, all the lovely people,
All the people, all the lovely people,
All the colors, all the lovely colors
Heal the world we live in,
Save it for our children.
Julia Massey & the Five Finger DiscountSeattle, Washington
Julia Massey & The Five Finger Discount is a sweetly trippy, magical musical trio led by dreamy flaxen-blonde vocalist/keyboardist Julia and flanked by her happily-raging rhythm section, Matt Deason (bass) and Dominic Cortese (drums).
"Drink Champagne" is one of the best records in the last 15 years. You might want to sit and wonder why and how that is the case, but I prefer to sit back and enjoy the bliss. Favorite track: Buzzard. Julia Massey & the Five Finger Discount
Muna Ileiwat brings an unyieldingly honest perspective to songs that tow the line between soft pop & crisp electronica. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 18, 2022
