about

This song was the 3rd song we wrote together and the lyrics were written in Berlin in late September 2019. The basic track for the song was written and recorded in a 900 year old church in the north west of Denmark, then the band went into Kaiser Base studios in Berlin and Robert Philipp added drums, sonics, and fairy dust.

lyrics

Talking Trees © 2020 by Cecilie Beck/Gabriel Gordon/Robert Philipp


The fall is rising, purple view
Silhouettes of trees
No time for hiding, me and you
Marionettes of leaves
Dancing on the wind
Like the candle flame
No matter how we bend
Our roots will stay, our roots will stay the same

Talking trees whisper words of light
The day will draw us closer
To bring us through the night
Morning star signals from the east
We will travel far and wide and plant the seed

So let us share repair
And raise our glasses high
Focus be aware
And let the light guide
And dive into the night
And dive into the light

Talking trees whisper words of light
The day will draw us closer
To bring us through the night
Morning star signals from the east
We will travel far and wide and plant the seed

I’ll show you something new
How breathe the sound
Only me and you
We float above the ground
Illuminate the Autumn
Twilight sings a song
Never reach the bottom
When we sing along
When we sing along

Talking trees whisper words of light
The day will draw us closer
To bring us through the night
Morning star signals from the east
We will travel far and wide and plant the seed

And when the flowers bloom
We let the canvas drop
Naked skin by noon
As perfect doesn’t stop
Bare tree trunks spread on solitude
Standing brave in snow
Looking down on the altitude from the peaks below
And they’ll never stand alone
Another season is rising
Branches stretch ‘cause they have grown
In spite of all the lightning
And the sun will dry the sands
As the tides retreat
A green and fertile land
A pulse, a wave, a beat
