Island Echo
A warm reggae groove with offbeat electric guitar skanks, deep bass, steady drums, organ chords, and bright brass accents. Relaxed, sunny, and soulful with a roots-inspired vibe.
Lyrics
[Verse]
Sunlight creeps across the dusty floorboards now
The kettle sings a tune I haven't heard since June
The garden gate is swinging where the shadows bow
While I am tracing circles on a faded map of noon
[Verse]
The copper wires are humming underneath the skin
Of this old house that stands upon the salted sand
We let the golden heavy air come rushing in
To wash the grit of cities from the palms of my tired hand
[Chorus]
Stumble on the beat that pulls the heavy earth aside
Let the low-end roll like thunder deep within the tide
Copper notes are spilling from the trumpet's metal throat
Drifting on the currents where the weary spirits float
[Chorus]
Stumble on the beat that pulls the heavy earth aside
Let the low-end roll like thunder deep within the tide
Copper notes are spilling from the trumpet's metal throat
Drifting on the currents where the weary spirits float
[Verse]
Six strings are dancing sharp against the dampened heat
They stutter like a pulse inside a fevered dream
The pavement cracks are hiding where the lost ones meet
Beneath the silver shimmer of a slow and muddy stream
[Verse]
An organ breathes its longing through the hollow walls
A congregation gathered just to watch the clouds go by
No sermon needed when the mercy softly falls
Like rain upon the garden underneath an open sky
[Chorus]
Stumble on the beat that pulls the heavy earth aside
Let the low-end roll like thunder deep within the tide
Copper notes are spilling from the trumpet's metal throat
Drifting on the currents where the weary spirits float
[Chorus]
Stumble on the beat that pulls the heavy earth aside
Let the low-end roll like thunder deep within the tide
Copper notes are spilling from the trumpet's metal throat
Drifting on the currents where the weary spirits float
