Matt Maltese - Madhouse (slowed + reverb)

From Fae By Nature Choral Works' suite, Starflung Lullabies:

Seven Sisters (Pleiades), a sparkling song for Children's Choir.

For thousands of years, The Pleiades have been one of the most recognized and beloved constellations in the night sky. For ancient peoples, the cycles of The Seven Sisters' journey across the heavens were central to spirituality as well as the timing of agricultural practices.

Children and adults around the world still look at the Pleiades with wonder and admiration. But what do the Seven Sisters see when they gaze down at us from the vastness of space? For whom do they shine?

Seven sisters dancing in the sky.
Seven sisters dancing in the sky.
Seven sisters dancing in the sky!

Pleiades, sparkle overhead
in my little window beside my bed.
Nighthawks cry as we dance across the sky,
my shining Seven Sisters and I.

One shines for zebras in sleepy silver beams
on savannahs where cheetah kittens run in their dreams.
Two shine for whale calves swimming happily
with their mothers in the deep, blue sea.

Pleiades, sparkle overhead
in my little window beside my bed.
Nighthawks cry as we dance across the sky,
my shining Seven Sisters and I.

Three shine for wolf pups singing to the moon
with a chorus of family, who taught them the tune.
Four shine for owlets learning how to fly
among the Seven Sisters of the Sky.

Pleiades, sparkle overhead
in my little window beside my bed.
Nighthawks cry as we dance across the sky,
my shining Seven Sisters and I.

Five shine for crowlings cawing as they play, sliding
down a rooftop on a snowy day.
Six shine for Waxwings in a cedar tree.
And all Seven Sisters shine for me!

Pleiades, sparkle overhead
in my little window beside my bed.
Nighthawks cry as we dance across the sky,
my shining Seven Sisters and I.

Seven sisters dancing in the sky.
Seven sisters dancing in the sky.
Seven sisters dancing in the sky!

Elan Noon - Spinning

"Blue Underground" is a song about keepin' that brain of yours so healthy. It was recorded in various studios with respect to social distancing (thank u, Dropbox). We had a big show at MSG planned to support the track, but they cancelled on us. That's when things got kicked into 12th gear and the Foo said we aren't invited to open their tour anymore. Can you believe that? foo fighters? more like who fighters lol

LYRICS:
Eyes still tired but I’m gettin my sleep
Shut the world out keep the ground on my feet
Talk to the doctor tell her I'm great
I’m a blackhole, smiling with the sun in my face

Upside-down when I’m headed for home
Hold me down, when I’m outta control
I don’t know where I belong
I don’t know where I belong
Find me down, with my head in a hole
Can't slow down when I'm right at the door
On and on the time I'm wasting
Trying to fix the things I'm breaking

All the king’s horses up on my back
While I follow that compass off of the map
Green or black thumb, I unravel it bind
Still I’m chasing that sunset hoping to find - something I guess
Open mouth, deep down, outer space

Talk to the doctor, she says I'm great
Talk to my mom and she says I'm great
Like a prequel movie to the villain you hate
I'm a blackhole, smiling with the sun in my face

the moon song ✧ beabadoobee ft. oscar lang (cover)
