Lyrics:
Share with me the answers of all time
The mysteries of the oceans and the skies
You were here long before and mine
So let me inside your mind 

I’m sorry that they brought you here
I’d hoped that we could disappear 

Oceanarium 
Nets and glass keep them within
We point and laugh: “see how they swim”
Take photographs to show where we’ve been
And trap them again

Share with me the vision of your kind
The hunt for food and the fear of dying
What do you see in my eyes?
What would you think, if I let you inside my mind?
Let you inside my mind…

I’m sorry that they brought you here
I hope in time we’ll disappear  

Oceanarium 
Nets and glass keep them within
We point and laugh, see how they swim
Take photographs to show where we’ve been
And trap them again

Walk On Water

Lava Kiss is a solo project of London (UK) based singer/songwriter, musician and producer Chris Willow. The name, Lava Kiss, was inspired by a Grandaddy song of the same title and Willow has been releasing music under the moniker since mid 2019.

His debut album is expected in Spring 2020, and in keeping with the singles released so far, will expand upon his mellotron tinged indie-rock sound. The upcoming album,  “Submarine Dream”, is a themed collection of ocean-related songs that would receive heavy rotation among the fictitious crew of the “R/V Belafonte”, as depicted in Wes Anderson’s film the The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou.   

Lava Kiss’ debut single Oceanarium combines a hazy-summer vibe akin to bands like Beatenberg, The Naked And Famous and Empire of the Sun with a polyrhythmic arrangement you could hear from the likes of Vampire Weekend and Sufjan Stevens.

With his second single Swordfish Willow showcased his penchant and knack for weaving a metaphorically rich narrative fuelled by cutting and addicting lyrics, topping the SoundCloud's "Hot & New: Indie Chart".

Other recent releases include the dark and cooky Donovan-esque Octopus the rhythmic self-deprecating gospel stomp Walk on Water, and the fantastical epic Atlantis.

I Don't Want to See Anybody, his most personal song so far, gives contrast to the bigger productions that proceeded it with a stripped back and intimate arrangement.
