Formentera Lyrics :::
Listen, it's hard to say
Consequence tied my tongue
Life wasn't made for one
Icons will rise and tank
Pennies in jars of clay
Heaviest fragile beast
Further ahead than me
I've got so far to go
So give my soul some peace
Suffer what it means
On some other plane
Wisdom left me blind
With nothing I could teach
The substance of my mind
The gates of shame and spite
Open to me
Over the side toss coins
Parisian fountain street
Wishes and lies compete
Moss on a rolling stone
A rising star in chains
Colder than bars of gold
Hoping the ropes will hold
Why not just let go?
The stakes are not my own
On Formentera beach
Why not walk away?
Take a sober stroll
And free my childhood dream
Before my hour is up
Time stamp my release
Today it's over
#Metric #Formentera

I hate music that is produced these days but this song gives me hope that good music can still be created. All the bands I used to like are now unable to produce any material at the same level as before (Blink, Greenday, Libertines, RHCP) but Metric still hanging in there 👍🏻

@friendofzeus Жыл бұрын

This right here is one of the best songs i've ever heard period. Just listen to how the opening pops up with the bass and the drums, as if the first 10 seconds were a completely different song. And then the dance between the vocals and the bassline. The drums allowing for the full set of layering to mesh so well together as to almost sound generic but completely non generic. And then the synths at the end with cadences so sweet, gentle and powerful that only they could serve as codas for what preceded them. Doing the same dance that the vocals were doing with the bassline. Its absurdly well done.

@jarirepo1172 Жыл бұрын

Absolutely mesmerizing. Every time I listen this album keeps changing what track I like most, now it's probably this. EDIT: And even whispering Formentera at the end, very subtle but still noticeable, beautiful mixing there!

To be honest, this sounds awesome right here on KZfaq with my Yamaha receiver 5.2.2 Dolby Atmos setup. The two subwoofers love the deep digital bass and the Atmos bouncing off the ceiling really gives the sound 3d depth. I like records but the signal to noise ratio is pretty low compared to digital in my dumble opinion 😉 🤔 😜 😄

And looked up at the blue sky....the tree line of the woods in my backyard and just was moved to a really good place. EMILY has such a wonderfully angelic sound to start the day....however, at the end , the very last synthesizer dark, falling sound? I am going to mute or skip in my a.m. music ritual. Lol. 🤣😅💞
