blue reverie
blue on blue creating the sweetest fantasies,
my dreamiest dreams conjure fluffy alchemy.
buttery dew blew you
into my blooming’s plain view.
wonder makes the brain freeze.
blue tongue, blue thoughts.
gossamer’s hour,
graceful, delicate, sweet.
power is vulnerability,
the strong hold it has over me.
i cough and cough up
petals of soft spoken clarity.
milk is the nourishment of a restless soul.
light blue tincture,
obliterating the recesses full of coal
still lurking in my mind.
blue - wonder - power - milk.

I got a ticket for Emilíana Torrini & The Colorist Orchestra and I couldn't be happier 😍😍😍 They are the soundtrack to a lot of my dancing around the apartment by myself.
Heaven help whatever strangers have to sit beside me 🤣

Release: March 9, 2009
Lyrics:
Hey I'm in love
My fingers keep on clicking
To the beating of my heart
Hey I can't stop my feet
Ebony and Ivory and dancing
In the street
Hey it's cause of you
The world is in a crazy hazy hue
My heart is beating like a jungle drum
My heart is beating like a jungle drum
My heart is beating like a jungle drum
Man you got me burnin'
I'm the moment between
The striking and the fire
Hey read my lips
'Cause all they say is
Kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss
No it won't ever stop
My hands are in the air
Yes I'm in love
And so onburuburobummbummbumm
My heart is beating like a jungle drum
My heart is beating like a jungle drum
My heart is beating like a jungle drum
My heart is beating like a jungle drum
Songwriter:
Sidney Joseph Bechet / Zutty Singleton
SongFacts:
“Jungle Drum” is the third single from Icelandic singer-songwriter Emilíana Torrini’s third album, “Me and Armini”. It was released as a digital download on March 9, 2009 and later as a CD single in Germany on June 19, 2009.
Critics received the song very positively; Popmatters reviewer Spencer Tricker called "Jungle Drum" the album's "catchiest song" (alongside "Big Jumps"), "as good as the Fisherman's Woman singles". He also praised the song for having "an irresistible chorus with some completely unexpected interludes." Matthew Allard of ARTISTdirect stated that the song "was intended to be an iPhone advertisement". Clickmusic reviewer Francis Jolley called the song "a lively, fun little gem reminiscent of Nancy Sinatra in her heyday" and "infectious Scandinavian pop." Both Popmatters and Clickmusic reviews praised the song's rhythm section, calling it impossible "not to tap your foot along."
In 2009 she was also seen in the TV show “Germany's Next Top Model”. As a result, the song gained great popularity in German-speaking countries. It was scheduled to appear in the dance video game Just Dance 3, but did not appear for unknown reasons.
In 2010, the track was used as the theme song in a video created for the Icelandic government's official campaign "Inspired by Iceland" to attract tourists to Iceland.

Sometimes we don't think about how appropriate the shape can be to the content, as if it were embroidered on it, as a master tailor would do.
A volte non si pensa a quanto
la forma possa essere appropriata al contenuto, quasi fosse
ricamata sopra, come farebbe
un mastro sarto.

Emiliana Torrini & The Colorist Orchestra | Lonesome Fears
Taking you out, my friend
Holding each other's hand
Until we reach the shore
Taking the time we spent
Saying goodbye and then
To the beach where we'll grow old
I'm thinking
We're victims of war
