Hurricanes will come
Earthquakes break the walls
Oceans rise
Empires fall

Enter world, light unshown
Follow heart, follow home
Here we are, light unshown
One round heart, one round home

Spin the speed of light
Tetrahedron blue
One last paradise
You can make for you

Enter world, light unshown
Follow heart, follow home
Here we are, light unshown
One round heart, one round home

Faster than a ship
Further than bomb
See the glowing grid
Send love throughout the throng

Enter world, light unshown
Follow heart, follow home
Here we are, light unshone
One round heart, one round home

cool band name,


I visited the Country Music Hall of Fame on a trip through Nashville and burst out laughing when I saw a "Waylon Jennings" exhibit. All of a sudden I got the joke for the Jennys' band name.
Enjoyed this - but found myself in a rabbit hole of where did I hear "Oceans Rise, Empires Fall".  

Oh yes, King George in Hamilton! 

Strange mashup emerged in my head through the remainder of the song.
Even on a sad rainy day without hope and love, that would be completely irrelevant
Marvelous song, a solid 9 in my books, and beautiful transition from Sandy Denny's 'Listen, Listen'. Only on RP     
I love Annabelle Chovostek. Too bad she didn't stay with the Jennys.
Brilliant as Thank You ~ Bill, Bec, and all the music that’s been player on our past houses, remberong that elusive soul
Beautiful ~ thanks Jen! We love your wallin
yuck. too much of them today.
For some reason I decided to try out the 192k feed just before this song. Lucky me. Beautiful.
This song kind of sneaks up on you. Really gorgeous lyric and Annabelle Chvostek's voice is like dark chocolate...

 
cool band name, not sure about the song yet...might take a few listens to grow on me. Not unpleasant on first listen.
