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

In and out and in and out
catch your breath
I want to hear you shout
the song of little death

Push and pull and push and pull
through my eyes
Let your mouth open with a language of sighs

We better sweat
We better stretch
We better stretch

Be in your body
Be here in your body

Up and down and up and down
ask for more
I need you to lay your body down on the floor

And the counters and the walls
and the couches and the halls
and the tables and the chairs
the front door, on the stairs
the rooftop, in the pillows
our skin against windows,
pushed up against the windows.

Flex release and flex release,
you are safe here,
you can let go of your tensions and your fear.

In and out
and push and pull
and up and down
and flex release

I want your laughter
I want to fall back
into the glow that comes after.

It’s real, it’s real,
it’s not a dream,
I’ll be right here when you get back
but now
I need to hear you scream!

Be in your body.
Be here in your body.
Remember your body.
I’ll be in your body.
