about

The debut EP of Seattle-based Vibrant Mortals, “6 songs for dancing / weeping / laughing” is candy-pop electronic dance beats wreathed by a 7-piece live orchestra and dark, urgent lyrics. We hope to dance beautifully, knowing full well that we are going to die.

lyrics

Five years old
I see the blue
the ocean through the trees

The music’s up
the windows down
my hand like a bird
out in the Pacific breeze

I’ve got a secret to show you
outside of time
it’s the safest of places
inside my mind

There is nothing to hurt you
when you are here
I promise nothing can touch you,
no pain, no fear.

Feel the sun,
Feel the sand,
Smell the salt,
It’s not your fault, not your fault, not your fault,
You don’t have to clutch that horror anymore
just listen as the waves keep saying yes into the shore.

I’ve been every age here
I’ve been young and so old
the layers of time here
all my life, it unfolds,
and the passage of time
like a blur all around,
we’ll put up a kite
that will never come down.

Amazing Grace
how sweet the sound
that saved a fuckup like me!
We once were lost
but now we’re found
and now we’ll go swimming
in the sun-setting sea

You can stay here for as long as you need
or three minutes or whatever
I will give thanks to Whatever
that we’re safe on this timeless shore together.
