a fable about old-school fairy tales in a modern-day world.
This track tells the story of two similar introverts growing up in different worlds, and how both have given up on the idea of love – until it suddenly it comes along when they least expect it. The catchy, contemporary, Indie-Rock sound blended with pop culture references serves as a beacon of hope to all those who are choosing to embrace their solitude and independence until they find their person.
The song invokes fairytale characters, with a modern-day twist. It also as a fable of finding true love, sprinkled magical and fairytale characters, albeit with a modern twist. Robin Hoods, Cinderella’s, Sleeping Beauty’s and Big Bad Wolves- this magical song has them all, and a beautiful message to boot.
lyrics
-
Life out in the forests been great
there ain’t a beer out there that can top
the feeling hills and stars, create
In the big city all this fire goes waste
there ain’t a club in town that beats
a night out under the skies
with good mates
But Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh
He said his hearts gone beating again
oh man
in this desert town with no fish, and no sea
and all the sleeping beauties taking their time
sleeping in
every Cinderella is
just the wrong size
Been three winters since she’s seen a worthwhile face
lately there ain’t been soul out there
that beats a date with me and my space
I’ve been feeling good
avocado, coffee and zen
nothing beats that feeling
of feeling good in my skin
But, Oh oh oh
oh oh
she said, her hearts up, it’s wakey again
oh dear
no Prince Charmings anywhere near
and all the knights are out tripping
oh damn
big bad wolves dressed like pretty men
We’re stuck with, fairytales
long broken but they’re still
what we need
It’s all we got, bad fairytales
old and broken
but they’re still what we need
So he headed out to the hills again
robin hood, he ain’t no good in a world built for gel
mermaids are all out posing
on beaches, of gold
She went back to her diary and her den
ain’t no peace in the world, like the peace
she feels within
besides, all those hearts that were broken
just don’t see the point of it all
anymore
But then his heart started beating again
oh damn, real ponytailed knight
in a land of suits and ties
One day her heart went beeping
fuck man, early rising fairytale girl
in a modern day land
all those times she was thinking
bad, fairytales
good knights were just in the wrong disguise
and all those times
he was thinking bad ,fairytales
good stories were just in bad disguise
All those times they were wondering about
fairytales bad
now theres a ring out there
under desert skies.
