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

Spring comes busting into my windows
all the colors of the rainbows
the blossoms all confetti
but I will not fall in love!

Birds arpeggiating so sweetly
the spring does to my body
what it does to the cherry trees
but I will not fall in love!
No I will not fall in love!

Oh it aches and aches and aches
the most exquisite of aches
too big a breath to take
too wild a beauty to shake
and everything I know about me now
that I’ve figured out
I will not prostrate myself before Love
with my pockets out!

Sun shine draped over my pillow
the breeze through bottle hollows
I am not so lonely
and I will not fall in love!

A hummingbird lands
on the lip of my coffee cup
and I tell my heart
shut up, shut up, shut up!

This cannot be happening!
It cannot be happening!
It’s Maybe Happening!

No I will not fall in love!
No I will not fall in love!
