about
One half of Double A Side release Unknowns / Keep Me Where I Can See The Light
lyrics
This is for the Unknown, complete rolling stone
How does it feel to know you’re not alone?
Shine your light from your lonely shore
So your kin folk can find you in this s**t storm
This is for the chavs, the street kids, the working classes
Dispelling narratives, being real artists
Don’t wanna play the algorithm game
Begging for like and plays
This is for the immigrants, the outcasts, the mixers
Roots spread over lands and seas trying to go the distance
Trying to figure out where you belong
Like earth ain’t answer enough to go on
This is for the diaspora, Irish or otherwise
Across the world building real empires
Did you hear? They’re playing Kneecap on the BBC
Jaysus, the old fellas would never believe it
Serving a crown that killed your people
Invited you in only to ask you what you’re doing here
Mighty empires, short memories
Still playing nice with fascists and nazis
One step forward, a hundred years back
Stuck in cycles learning nothing on the play back
Call beggars when you beg steal and borrow
Culture music art steeped in sorrow
Well in some worlds the currency is different
And in our world our souls bear the riches
You can buy the things that we are gifted
With privilege and paper and optimum conditions
So let’s bring our darkness in to the light
Let’s let it breathe, let’s shine it up nice
Let’s stop p**sing on our own parade
Let the people come Let the songs play
This is for the imposters, chuck out the syndrome
Don the f**king hat and wear it, that’s what they’ve been doing
Yes you’re worthy, yes you belong
They can tidy spaces but they can’t stay that way all day long
And no, they don’t know better than you
They’ve just been replying on you thinking that they do
Don’t wear no costume, come as yourself
Coz the party can’t get started til the real ones attend
Unknown,
What do you know about the unknown?
Shine your light from your lonely shore
So we can all find each other in this s**t storm
A new album of perfect low-key gems from Kim Weldin of Tape Waves' unassuming bedroom pop side project Shiny Times. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 15, 2019
