Lied van de week: week 44 - 2016

The castle - The Flaming Lips

Het blijft één van de zonderlingste groepen die telkens weer heel verrassend uit de hoek komen, The Flaming Lips. In januari brengen ze een nieuw album uit, Oczy Mlody, en daaruit vooruitgestuurd is er nu al deze wonderlijke single.

Je kan het album hier alvast bestellen.

Lyrics:

Her eyes were butterflies..
Her smile was a rainbow
Her hair was sunbeam waves..
Shining round like a halo
Her face was a fairytale.. that has a poison apple
Her skull was a mighty moat..
Her brain was the castle 

And the castle gets mistaken for a ship
that is floating in the clouds
And the castle is brighter than a thousand Christmas trees
And the castle can never be rebuilt again... No way... 

One day a strange storm rolled in
while she was riding on her dragon
The mushrooms and the bumble bees 
told the flowers how it happened
She was lost in the invisible war..
Fighting in the battle
Her love is still buried there in the ruins of the castle 

And the castle oscillates to the beating heart of her mind
And the castle is taller than the northern lights
And the castle can never be rebuilt again...
No way...
