Crazy Love is the first new single from The Plastics since 2020 and marks the beginning of a new album cycle for their upcoming release EVE. Crazy Love is vibrant, sunny, and joyous and describes a type of love that turns your world upside down. Greys become ultraviolet, days melt into warm kisses under the starlight, cold drinks, soul connections and hedonistic bliss. Crazy Love is built around an infectious bass hook, groovy drums and colorful guitar and synth arrangements and a crooning story of unbounded love.

Lyrics: 📝
---------------------------

This crazy love spans all directions
Refusing time and place
Transcending time and space
I remember when you read me your poetry 
You knew that that would surely be the death of me 

This crazy love hits like the summer sun
This crazy love it feels like too much fun
This crazy love spans all directions
This crazy love hits like connection

You and me we can make it up 
Taking on the world, yeah we feel so tough 
Days are warm, and the nights are long 
I haven’t felt this way since Babylon

This crazy love warps my perception
Transforming shades of grey to ultraviolet rays
Do you remember when I wrote you that sad song?
Or watching the stars fade to oblivion

This crazy love hits like the summer sun
This crazy love it feels like too much fun
This crazy love spans all directions
This crazy love hits like connection

You and me we can make it up 
Taking on the world, yeah we feel so tough 
Days are warm, and the nights are long 
I haven’t felt this way since Babylon

Between Hours is The Plastics' second new single leading up to their new Album EVE. 

Lyrics: 📝
---------------------------
I’ll meet you further down the road 
Anywhere but here, I’m sick of the people I know 
They said we were doing fine
But if you’re the lie detector, I’m the jagged line 
Truth is we were all over the show 
We were in the bed 
We were in the car 
We were on the floor 

But that hot love 
Was bound to burn out 
and all that good stuff 
Seems awfully distant between hours 

Between Hours 

I swear that this is getting old 
The late-night messages, the lies we tell ourselves 
Maybe it’s time I drew the line 
But when you talk like that I’d rather draw the blinds 

But that hot love 
Was bound to burn out 
and all that good stuff 
Seems awfully distant between hours 

Where we don’t even talk to each other
If we were any good together 
I’d wanna be your lover forever 
I’d wanna hold you like there’s no other 
But I don’t 
No, I don’t 
Between Hours 
Between Hours 
Awfully distant between Hours

Lyrics: 📝
---------------------------
I don't know about you , I'm kind of missing the old days
I've been running round town and I'm all out of things to do 
I've been laying down some , tryna have some fun
Can't get you out my head
When I think you awake, I guess I drink you away with my friends

Time can fix all things
Love is eternal 
When you fall into a dream 
I'll catch you

I've never known nobody, never known nobody like you
I've been tryna let it out , I've been tryna let it out all day
Are we the last generation or is this a simulation of love
But I'm gonna get it  right, I'm gonna get it right someday

Back in time, you asked me a question
Is it real love or do you only want it for the night?
I've been counting up all the ways I could have answered 
As I like awake alone checking my phone 

But time can fix all things
Love has eternal wings
When you fall into a dream 
I'll catch you

I've never known nobody, never known nobody like you
I've been tryna let it out , I've been tryna let it out all day
Are we the last generation or is this a simulation of love
But I'm gonna get it  right, I'm gonna get it right someday

It feels like this, it feels so empty.

Nobody Like You

All I Really Want

I can feel your eyes
Digging holes through the back of my skull
No reason to hide
When everybody is going to hell
I don’t believe you’re shy
I can hear your thoughts I can read your mind
What I found inside 
Makes me want to leave it all behind

All I really want is to get next to you, get next to you

I take a deep breath
My thoughts are heavy and the air is thick
There’s a hanging smoke silhouette
Clinging to the curls in your long, long hair
Vibrations feel sticky
Pulling us closer and closer together
To a point where we’re clutching on
And teasing out a piece of heaven

All I really want is to get next to you get next to you
All I, All I really really want
Is to get next to you, get next to you

I can feel your eyes
Digging holes through the back of my skull
No reason to hide
When everybody is going to hell
I don’t believe you’re shy
I can hear your thoughts I can read your mind
What I found inside 
Makes me want to leave it
Makes me want to leave it
Makes me want to leave it

All I Really Want - The Plastics (Raiven Hunter Remix)

Table Manners

We dragged our friends into the forest now
Forget your table manners and your frown
We spent our time around a pack of trees 
And drowned our minds beneath the spiral leaves

Everything was 
Everything, Everything was talking
Everything was 
Everything, Everything, Everything

I spent a week staring into the sun
Till everything I knew became undone
If I was sure then I am surer now
If I forget you got to show me how
To walk my dreams into the waking world
and talk to animals and Elvish girls
You tell the sea it’s taking way too long 
To drag me deep into its violet arms

Everything was 
Everything, Everything was talking
Everything was 
Everything, Everything, Everything

Start listening 
Start listening

Everything is talking
Start listening
Everything is talking
Start listening

(P. Righini)

Sun Scream

I can't believe 
That the sun has come back for me
I thought the night had swallowed me up in a dream
But the sun has come back for me
I just hope this daydream 
Can make us clean

I'm a goner
So long, yeah?
I'll meet you by the water, it’s warmer
We're all alone here, no wonder
That we want each other for longer

All your power
Those itching hours
Almost devoured 
But I'm not your coward

I can't believe
That the sun has come back for me
I thought the night had swallowed me up in a dream
But the sun has come back for me
I just hope this daydream 
Can make us see

I'm a goner 
So long, yeah?
I'll meet you by the water, it’s warmer
We're all alone here, no wonder
That we want each other for longer

Alona

You can do it Alona
Go out on your own
You don’t need them no more
Go out on your own

Over the mountains
Between the rivers
Forgotten lovers 
Technicolor flowers 
Over the towers 
Between the bridges
Forgotten our
Forgotten powers

You can reap what you sow
Or you can light it all up 
Just to watch it glow, just to watch it glow
You never needed a home
Just fall asleep in the snow
It’s a peaceful cold

Over the mountains
Between the rivers
Forgotten lovers 
Technicolor flowers 
Over the towers 
Between the bridges
Forgotten our
Forgotten powers

In Threes

I thought that good things came in threes
And I was free to breathe easily 
But all my luck ran out at once, it wasn’t enough
I watch it scatter endlessly
Last night I caught you in my head
All over again but I think it was just lucidity

I’m only kidding myself again
I’m only kidding myself again

I thought that good things came in threes
And I was free to speak honestly 
But all my luck ran out at once, it wasn’t enough
I watch it scatter carelessly
Last night I caught you in my bed
All over again but I think it was just another dream

I’m only kidding myself again
I’m only kidding myself again
Are we just kidding ourselves again?
I’m only kidding myself again


In Threes

None of the Others

So I spent a while talking into the wall
No one says they seen it, but they heard it all
Dispose of your patience and your canned rapport 
Live the holiday disease with a centrefold, but

None of the others
Come close to you darling, no
None of the others
None of the others

Spinning spiral dream is what we had before
No one can believe it when they wreck it all
I sink my arms in the water and the tidal pool
I’m going under and there is nothing I can do
All I can do is think of you and think of you, just think of you

None of the others
Come close to you darling, no
None of the others
None of the others
None of the others
Come close to you darling, no
None of the others
None of the others

I want nothing from you but your love
I’ll give you everything you’re dreaming of
I want nothing from you but your love
I’ll give you everything you’re dreaming of


None Of The Others

The New

My familiar sky
All tangled up in blue
Us silly city kids
Always looking for the new
The future’s at the door
Got some decisions for you
But all the scenes are a blur
The constellations kind of crude

Just says
Come with me 
Come with me 
See what could be 
I got it all figured out 
I think we’re finally

I hope we never die
Cause I don’t want to know the truth
I’ll spend the afterlife
Still looking for the new
Fields of desire and fear
Look the same from the roof
But when you look real near
There’s tiny pieces in the ruin

So come with me 
Come with me 
See what could be 
I got it all figured out 
I think we’re finally free

I dig my feet right into the sand
Until I’m swallowed entirely oh
I’m falling deep into the rabbit hole
Everything’s getting wild

There’s all these shadow beings
Talking in tongues and trying to, trying to sell me things
I’m a leaf in a field, I’m a speck, I’m the king
Feels like I never need to go back home

I stop to wonder, if this is it?
If this is my life and when I die if everything I’ve seen
Was just my time before my eyes and if it was I think it’s alright
Just means that none of us are really alone

Going through the gears, my fears and tears give me hope 
I know I’m slow to show but there’s things inside that you just don’t want to know
Come on and get rough with me

We’re headed for the silent sea
And I think we’re finally going to get there
I think we’re finally going to get there
I think we’re finally going to get there
Everybody lights out.
 


The New

Walking The Cow

Who am I to Say?

Days turning into nights
Waves washing clean our eyes
Change, you’ve changed I barely recognise
Promises that don’t materialize

Runaway Runaway
Running out of things to say and places to stay
Runaway Runaway 
Running out of People to sway your way

Dreams, nightmares in disguise
I don’t think you realise
Memory, the past is truly dead
Cans of worms, can of worms
Filling you giant head
Keep, I hope you keep this all in mind
It’s not a waste of time

Runaway Runaway
Running out of things to say and places to stay
Runaway Runaway 
Running out of People to sway your way

Moon bounce the sounds you hear from far away
Dig the ground until you’re old and grey
People fear, people waste their breath
Your song is sung
You just don’t know it yet
You just don’t know it 
You just don’t know it

Occasional Lies

Carry On To The Sun was written at the end of May 2019. The inspiration came simply from the harmonic power of playing the E Major chord, then lifting the 2nd and 3rd fingers rhythmically. The words came later whilst sitting in the garden and watching the sunset through the trees.

The song was a gift – inspired by the selfless, healing and loving power of the sun itself.

The chorus aims to make you realize that you are stronger than you ever thought possible and even when you have nothing left to give that you can carry on to the sun.

Carry On To The Sun was produced by Sasha Righini and recorded live at Digital Forest Recording Studio -  with vocals recorded later with Greg Abrahams.

The song is a rambunctious ode to the power of love, filled with twists and turns that captivate, thrill and beguile the listener. It sounds like a mantra from Shambalah – appealing against the negative energy inherent in modern society.

Thus The Bright Blue Orchids were born.

The Bright Blue Orchids are all about love, peace, lightness, darkness and the healing powers of music and nature.

Lineup:

Pascal Righini - Lead Vocals - Guitar

Sasha Righini - Vocals - Guitar

Karl Rohloff - Bass

Ellis Silverman - Drums

Dave Querido - Percussion/Vibe


For The Plastics, The Bright Blue Orchids is a change of lineup and a gateway into different realms of creativity.

Lyrics :

Carry On To The Sun

Free from the sun 
For anyone 
Light coming down 
For Everyone

Ooh I wish the sun would never go down 
I wish the light could stay on your face 
Till the morning 

Find it 
Find the love tonight 
Feel it 
Into the darkest night 
And carry on 
When you don’t want to fight 

If you’d only listen to what we are saying you’ll never be lost when you love

Life is game 
Love is a flame 
Nights come undone
By gifts from the sun 

Ooh I wish the sun would never go down 
I wish the light could stay on your face 
Till the morning 

Find it 
Find the love tonight 
Feel it 
Into the darkest night 
And carry on 
When you don’t want to fight 

If you’d only listen to what we are saying you’ll never be lost when you love

Feel the love come down
   Feel the love come down
      Feel the love come down
          Feel the love come down

Carry on to the Sun

Drunk on Love is a dark and moody psychedelic love song about what its like to lose control of your mind body and soul in the name of love <3

--LYRICS--

Drunk on Love 

The light is coming through the window 
He sees the spirit consequences of the night before 

Too much to drink again 
Its been said before 

But this time we don’t really care for love 

Chorus:

And at the end of the night 
He got into a fight cos he’s drunk on love 
And then he held her for the night 
Told her it will be alright 
Cos he’s drunk on love 

The light is coming through the window
She feels the spirit guide her senses through the night before 

Too much to think again 
She’s been  here before  

But this time all we do is fall some more 

And at the end of the night 
She got into a fight cos she’s drunk on love 
And then she held him for the night 
Told him it will be alright 
Cos shes drunk on love 

Drunk on love 
Its just a feeling 
Drunk on love 
You better believe it 

And at the end of the night 
They got into fight 
Cos they’re drunk on love
They held each other for the night 
And everything was fine 
Cos they drunk on love love love
