Mourning Dove

Empire is the debut single from Long Distances, an indie rock trio of Aarifah Rebello, Apurv Agrawal and Zubin Pastakia. Dreamy, evocative vocals sit within a soundscape of chimey, melodic guitar leads, gritty rhythm parts, glassy synths and pounding drums (played by Jai Row Kavi). The song twists and turns, ending up, sonically, at a very different place from where it began. Mali (Maalavika Manoj) adds her poignant harmonies to the mix through the song. 

The song speaks to the impermanent nature of power. Whether it's massive political forces that now seem omnipotent, or, the tyranny of the little despots that live amongst us, they are all eventually doomed to fall.

[Empire - Lyrics]

Where you gonna run?
When your empire burns
When the big wheel turns
‘round, tonight

And where you gonna be?
When your empire falls
Funeral guns they fire
At the myth of it all 

And how you gonna feel?
When your empire’s gone
Sitting alone now
In your cities of dust

And who you gonna call?
When your empire falls
We can’t hear you
We don’t feel you now

And will you ever see the light?
Or are you blinded by the herd and the lies?

You’ll only ever learn
When your empire burns...
Well we can’t hear you now,
Tonight

So, where are you now?
Where are you now?
When it all comes crashing down

Where would you go?
Where would you go?
When it all comes crashing down

Can’t hear you now
And now... 
The nation wants to know

Empire

Wherever I Go

Why would we girls be sad - lyrics 

Mitä me tytöt suremma
Olkaamme tytöt yhessä
Rinnatusten rinkilöissä
Laulakaamme laatuisasti
Vetäkäämme vienoisesti
Mitä me tytöt suremma
Kuta hullut huutelemma
Ei meitä veroista vieä

Mitä me tytöt suremma
Olkaamme tytöt yhessä
Rinnatusten rinkilöissä
Laulakaamme laatuisasti
Tanssikaamme taitavasti
Tuota kaunot katselevi
Tuota kullat kuuntelevi
Ulkona oven takana

Mitä te pojat suretta
Sitäkö pojat suretta
Ett' on meillä pienet piiat
Piiat pienet ja matalat
Jos on pienet niin on pystyt
Jos matalat kaksi maksoi
Siinä pieni pisteleksen
Kussa suuri käänteleksen

Mitä te pojat suretta
Sitäkö pojat suretta
Ett' on meillä pienet piiat
Piiat pienet ja matalat
Vielä meiän pienet piiat
Ja nämä tytöt matalat
Tuntevat tupansa pestä
Rappusensa raivailla

Nyt me outona olemma
Ja kulemma kummempina
Kun tulevi toinen vuosi
Toinen vuosi ja parempi

Nyt me outona olemma
Ja kulemma kummempina
Kun tulevi toinen vuosi
Toinen vuosi ja parempi

Hei hei 
Hei hei

Mitä me tytöt
Mitä me tytöt
Mitä me tytöt
Mitä me tytöt
Mitä me tytöt
Mitä me tytöt
Mitä me tytöt
Mitä me tytöt

Why would we girls be sad

Heppy! https://orcd.co/waydowntherainbow-heppy

Way Down The Rainbow, an Alternative Rock Band hailing from Kongsberg, Norway, has been making waves in the music industry with their unique sound and meaningful lyrics. Described as a fusion of Pink Floyd and The Mars Volta, their music has been captivating audiences with uplifting melodies and lyrics that touch on mental health issues.
Since forming in 2016, Way Down The Rainbow has quickly gained recognition for their engaging live performances, transporting their listeners through a euphoric dreamscape. The band's sound is a result of the chemistry between its members, who started playing together as young, naive, and inexperienced 16-year-olds after starting at the same high school.
“We got together and jammed every single school break, and got together after school to play,” says Peter, one of the band members. After performing their first school show, they fell in love with the experience, convincing Peter's brother Jonatan to start at the same school and join the band. Jonatan was working as a mechanic at the time but quit his job after a serious incident where he almost cut off his finger, choosing to take up high school with the band.
“The school was more of a meeting ground, and we would often ditch classes to make music. Only one member finished high school,” says Peter.
Way Down The Rainbow's music is not just about the sound, but also about the message. Their lyrics touch on mental health issues, aiming to break down the stigma surrounding these topics. The band wants to inspire their listeners to seek help when needed and to know that they are not alone in their struggles.
With their unique sound and meaningful message, Way Down The Rainbow is a band to watch out for. Their music has the potential to change lives and make a positive impact in the world.

Way Down The Rainbow – Heppy! – Lyrics.


H-H-H-Eppy Heppy

Cut all my hair off
I’ll taste the pain

I’ve got no heroes

Maybe I’ve lost it
Maybe I’ve gained

Don’t even matter

Cuz I’ve been scratching to the bone
While pondering alone this moments got me feeling high im not coming home a hunter mind cuz I’m still chasing

Whatever life throws at me

I’m the definer

Hold the paintbrush cuz I’m the artist

I don’t give a fuck you know I never wish for

The shape of the canvas layed before me

Instead instead instead instead i like to focus on the color

My heart is beating
A bit too fast

Maybe I like it

I am alive
Right here right now

But only once

I wanna jump out of a plane I’m feeling insane I wanna live until I’m gone I’ll give it my all don’t wanna play no social games I’m honest and raw don’t give a fuck about no fame cuh cuh

Cuz I’ve been scratching to the bone
While pondering alone this moments got me feeling high im not coming home a hunter mind cuz I’m still chasing

Whatever life throws at me

I’m the definer

Way Down The Rainbow - Heppy!

Dreams (On the Strip)  - Radio Edit

Hand over you, holding for you
Gazing, just gazing

Waking to you, dressing for you
Seasons are changing

Cold wind, kissing me in the morning
While lovers, are kissing in their cars
Cold wind is feeding me the truth
While young girls are longing for the sun

Dreaming of you, being under you
Phasing, just phasing

Healing with you, feeling with you
Gazing. just gazing
