I want to be alone for a while
I want earth to breathe to me
I want the waves to grow loud
I want the sun to bleed down
See the waves go down
See the moon alone
See the world unshown
I raise my hesd and whisper
Rise and shine
Rise and shine my sister
I want to see the wounded moon
I want the sea to break through
I want it all to be gone tomorrow
So Ive come to say goodbye…
I saw Cardigans for free in Kungsträdgården (an outdoor park in central Stockholm) in the summer of 1994. Their debut album had just been released and they played this song and some others. It was just to walk up to the stage and seeing and hearing them up close while people passed by on the way to something they thought was more important to devote to. A truly absurd and remarkabel experience.
