"Human skin can be hard to live in," -Seabear

This Feel-Good song creeps up in my head every now and then. I am starting to grow closely fond for Seabear like a diamond [surfacing] from under my skin. The hushing mother naturey-narrative lyrics are hard to discern or google and that mystery is uniquely endearing when blended with the miscellaneous chuckles of sounds going on. The lyricist also tends to use similar phrases in some of their songs that keeps this continuous strand of Seabear musical DNA somehow. I Love, Love, Looovvve it. The lyric, "Shake the leaves" and the character "Owl Girl" tend to pop up here are there, It is a quite serene sound, have a listen.



Seabear "I sing I swim"

When the birds are sleeping
That's when the trees sing
You left your winter clothes,
And your teeth marks in my skin

So shake the leaves, off the trees,
Watch them float down the stream
Your son, your daughter
Swimming in the water

And I miss you, even when you're around
I'm a black cloud,
Sending lightning to the ground

So darling please, show your teeth
Just one more dance to help me sleep
???, cold water eyes
Fill the past with friendly nights
Human skin, can be hard to live in
You'll feel better in the morning
Wash your hands in the lake
You've got a heart, ???

Trails lost in the snow
Make way for winter's eerie glow
And that black rock in your bedroom
I hope you'll climb it soon
In your boat, tied to a tree
I hope you'll find the sea

Throw me a dream please, it's been a dreamless sleep
For such a long time, such a long time
Sing myself awake
Watch the branches break
No one could ever take your place

Wash your face in the lake
You've got a diamond under your skin
