The Bubble

by Danjal

supported by
Carsten Pieper
Carsten Pieper thumbnail
Carsten Pieper "Rusty folk" is a lovely tag for this Balkan/klezmer infused album, which is the second of this (Copenhagen-based?) ensemble led by Dánjal á Neystabø from the Faroe Islands and Afenginns mastermind Kim Nyberg. Melodic as hell and highly entertaining!
As a plus, the FLAC comes in 24 bits :-) Favorite track: Balloon Dance.

With You 1 04:25
With You Do you really want it bad enough to lose it? I think I do Because the sky is blue and I could always break this window And I’d fly from here to peacefulness with you I think I will Because the ocean is still and I could always break this circle And I’d sail from here to endlessness with you /: With you, with you, I’d sail from here with you :/

Blow the Bubble Goodbye my dear, I’m stepping off the edge And the wind will take me into pieces I’ll defy the fear, you see I took a pledge And /: the wind will take me to Jesus :/ The wind will take me to Jesus The wind will take me to Jesus I’ll defy the fear, I’ve taken a pledge And /: the wind will take me to Jesus :/ /: Blow the bubble, blow the bubble Blow the bubble, blow the bubble, blow the bubble, blow the bubble :/ Blow the bubble, blow the bubble Blow the bubble till it bursts I’ll be back when I land with a speech so grand That I’ll take them all to pieces I’ll be back when I land with the future in my hand And /: I’ll take them all to Jesus :/ /: Blow the bubble :/… till it bursts I going to change the world, I’m going to change their minds I’m going to show them how to read between the lines They’ll need a man like me to set them free And /:I’ll bring them home to Jesus:/ /: Blow the bubble :/… till it bursts

With You 2 03:08
Do you really want it? Do you really want it? Do you really want it bad enough to lose it? I think I do Because the sky is blue and I could always break this window Then I’d fly from here to peacefulness with you I think I will Because the ocean is still and I could always break this circle Then I’d sail from here to endlessness with you /: With you, with you, I’d sail from here with you :/

Bring me along Said the jailor to the thief behind bars and set him free I don’t belong Said the sailor to his friends in the bar and set to sea I’m going to sleep with the fishes In an ocean of denial I’ve got to leave for a while I’ve done you wrong Said the woman to her man before she ran I’m still young, she thought And jumped into the arms of another man I’m going to dance on roses Till they fade away I can’t stay Sing me a song Said the mother to the child, then she poured herself another drink You’ve got to stay strong Said the father to the child before he left for a while /: Days turned to years And years turned to stone A dog will chase a bone to wherever it’s been thrown :/

River 03:45
The grass is high The fields are dry Oh how I wish that my heart would jump Been wandering by the river Because that’s what lovers do Oh how I wish that I could jump into Wish that I were blue Then I could be with you I throw at night Because that’s when lovers bite Waiting to feel something I can’t fight Wish that I were sad Then I could make you glad
9.
A look, a laugh, a smile, a cry A blink of an eye All the while the time goes by Something in me grows with you A wave as I watch you go Every kiss you throw And all the while the river flows Something in me grows with you A touch, a tear, a kiss goodbye Every bird must fly I thank you so for passing by Something in me grows with you I thank you so for passing through Something in me grows with you
10.
Paint me blue, blue like the sea And I’ll swim till I can’t see the shore Where you stand waving at me And I’m lost within the waves once more Close your eyes, blue like the sea And I’ll smile for you just like before In the days when we knew how to live Back when we still could forgive Let’s dance on our hands In our plastic suits Let’s jump into the dark In our shiny parachutes
