    LYRICS:
    Slide into the cool mud
    Underneath the pines
    Somewhere to your right or left
    Is my body you can find
    We are swimming with no clothes on
    In a river in the dark
    And I am holding on to you boy
    In the faint light of the stars
    So you wade out across the marsh
    Water up to your waist
    Carry our stuff above your head
    ‘Til the dune comes to a crest
    We are swimming with no clothes on
    In a river in the dark
    And I am holding on to you boy
    In the faint light of the stars
    But sometimes I feel it
    In a dream I know I been there
    We were sleeping by the ocean
    We were laughing on the warm sand
    We stay up all night
    And we wake up in the sunlight
    We got dreams we keep together
    We got time to spend oh hell yeah
    We are swimming with no clothes on
    In a river in the dark
    And I am holding on to you boy
    In the faint light of the stars
    We are lying
    On the beach now
    Everything is warm
    We are staying up
    Through a wild night
    In the faint light
    Of the headlights
    Of passing cars

    Rostam, your "mandolin is an upside guitar" trick just made this instrument a breeze to grab and play, thanks!

      I agree, but why not tune them like a guitar and make it easier? Don’t reverse them

    hey rostam, i saw u perform at the appel room back in feb 2019 - you played some classical instrumental/cello pieces that were beautiful. i know u said u changephobia doesn't have cello on it but would you ever release recordings of your string compositions maybe as a stand alone thing?
