Have you had any luck in your years-long search?
Has the money helped take away all the hurt?
Have you found any joy in awards or your title?
Are the accolades just a pointless trifle?
If you give it all up I think you’ll be surprised
When you chase peace it's peace that you’ll find
A little music takes away a world of crying.
Cause have you thought that maybe you’re wrong?
So stop your search, start singing a song
Cause there’s more to life than just waiting to die,
And if you need proof just look at the sky
There’s so much beauty, only not enough time
So turn up the music and close your eyes
And let the rock and roll take you away
So give up the money, don’t worry ‘bout the people
Less 4-0-1, more 1-4-5, no one likes a guy who only lives for the field
So pick up a book and put down your pride
Instead of wasting time chasing girls you won’t keep,
You could listen to Buckley, and Dylan, and Beatles
But I know that you’re just gonna roll your eyes
Cause have you thought that maybe you’re wrong?
Stop wasting time, start singing a song
Cause there’s more to life than just waiting to die,
And if you need proof just look at the sky
There’s so much beauty, only not enough time
So turn up the music and close your eyes
And let the rock and roll take you away
Yeah there’s so much more than just waiting to die,
But you don’t need proof cause you’ve seen the sky
There’s so much beauty, only not enough time
So turn up the music and close your eyes
And let the rock and roll take you away
Yeah let the rock and roll take you away
A new record from Sondre Lerche is packed full of big hooks, bigger feelings, and twinkly instrumentation more minimalist than baroque. Bandcamp New & Notable May 7, 2020
