This came over the radio a few days ago while I was driving along & I immediately felt the urge to turn the volume up. I kept thinking "What on
earth?.." & just found it utterly transporting.
Attending closely to the words I found myself thinking "That's ATS all over". What do you think?
(I'd love to see what video an ATS-er could come up with for it.)
Anyhow, the talk show host said something about the group having an album in the current UK top ten & mentioned that this particular track is to be
released as a single at the end of this month.
There's just something about the camaraderie that comes across through those relaxed harmonies...
My shadow's Shedding skin
and I've been picking Scabs again.
I'm down Digging through
My old muscles Looking for a clue.
I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own confused
And insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in.
I wanna feel the changes coming down.
I wanna know what I've been hiding in My shadow.
Change is coming through my shadow.
My shadow's shedding skin
I've been picking My scabs again.
I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic And insecure delusions.
I wanna feel the change consume me,
Feel the outside turning in.
I wanna feel the metamorphosis
and Cleansing I've endured within
My shadow
Change is coming.
Now is my time.
Listen to my muscle memory.
Contemplate what I've been clinging to.
Forty-six and two ahead of me.
I choose to live and to Grow,
take and give and to Move, learn and love and to Cry,
kill and die
and to Be paranoid and to Lie,
hate and fear
and to Do what it takes to move through.
I choose to live and to Lie,
kill and give and to Die,
learn and love
and to Do what it takes to step through.
See my shadow changing,
Stretching up and over me.
Soften this old armor.
Hoping I can clear the way By stepping through my shadow,
Coming out the other side.
Step into the shadow.
Forty six and two are just ahead of me.
