Why I Stay

from Perseids by somesurprises

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    From The FADER :

    Anyone who’s ever tuned in and dropped out to Spacemen 3, spent a long afternoon with Yo La Tengo, or had a good cry to Grouper would do well to check out somesurprises. On “Bodymind,” the third single from the Seattle band’s first new album in five years, Natasha El-Sergany’s voice is spectral in tone but crystal clear over a dense network of layered guitars that stick loosely to a set groove but seem to be in the process of a cosmically slow unraveling. “Once I figure out this body / There won’t be any mind left me / Once I figure out this mind, there / Won’t be anybody left behind me,” she sings without a hint of sadness. “Once I figure out this mind / I’ll rejoin the living.” — Raphael Helfand

lyrics

You may wonder why I stay but I know
If I go I won’t come back
Every time I’ve walked away I know
I’m not coming back

The sun cannot outrun the moon
The night cannot overtake the day
Each moves in its own orbit
And you can’t force it

You may wonder why I stay but I know
If I go I won’t come back
Every time I’ve walked away I know
I’m not coming back

You may wonder why I stay but I know
If I go I won’t come back
