The ring is on my hand,
And the wreath is on my brow;
Satin and jewels grand
Are all at my command,
And I am happy now.
~ Edgar Allan Poe
I thought an excerpt from the prince of melancholy would be utterly and resoundingly appropriate for this the official release of the latest video, “Wandering Star” by Poliça. This ELY directed visualscape is so damn beautiful and I may and will lose hours getting lost watching it’s saddening and exquisite beauty . Peace.
When the day is done
And I lay me down
I sit alone in my lonely bed
And I think about
The day we had
And it makes me sad 'cause you're gone
When the day is done
And I lay me down
This sheet's so cold
And your space is dark
And I hear you whispering something sweet
And it doesn't move me and it knows me
When the day is done
And I lay me down
I sit alone in my lonely bed
And I think about
The day we had
And it makes me sad 'cause you're gone
After all I'm married to the wandering star
I kissed his moon
It was full and I fell in love with thee
But now, the world turns around me
Turns around me
Turns around me
Turns around me
When the day is done
And I lay me down
This sheet's so cold
And your place is dark
And I hear you whispering something sweet
And it doesn't move and it knows me
After all, I'm married to the wandering star
I kissed his moon
It was full and I fell in love with thee
But now the world turns around me
After all, I'm married to the wandering star
I kissed his moon
It was full and I fell in love with thee
But now the world turns around me
When the day is done
And I lay me down
This sheet's so cold
And your space is dark
And I hear you whispering something sweet
And it doesn't move and it knows me.
