First Verse Lyrics
Why can’t I kiss the sun
For a dedicated love every day
May I ride a shooting star
So I can taste the Milky Way
Woooow. I mean I could stop here. The artistry in this verse. The sheer majesty of the imagery. The rhythmic genius. This combination of words is lyrical mastery.
And then when the chorus hits it is impossible to sit still. You have to get up and move, you have to shake a leg, you are left asking yourself the question – ‘why do I want things that I can’t have’ and then echoing back to yourself saying ‘I can’t have’.
Funk galore, deep bass, high vocals. But the lyrics. The energy behind this song is immense. It is actually from another world where energy is limitless. And that is exactly what the song is describing – the limitless search for the things we can’t have. It’s a paradox, it is posing the question – what will outlast the other, man’s search to go beyond nature’s boundaries or nature’s wisdom to always have the upper hand. The songs raw energy is a clash between those two forces – which is why it is so loud!
Every musician is going at 100% in this performance. The vocalist is going at 200% and that is what makes this particular audiotree performance so special. It has to be one of the best live performances on video ever. It is a rare occasion of a collective group of musicians performance actually adding to the meaning of the song – the passion is real.
