Lyrics:
Does the swallow dream of flying
As it sleeps on the wing
Does it long for the summer
As it flies home for spring
Does daisy feel a sadness
At the last rays of sun
Does the wind feel a gladness
At the work that it’s done
I won’t go making mountains
Out of molehills
Anymore
I won’t go chasing windmills
Round in circles
Anymore
I won’t go preaching sermons
To the choir what’s it for?
I won’t go through the motions anymore
Does the river ever wonder
What will come round the bend?
As it twists and meanders
Down its slow descent
I looked out over London
With my last cup of tea
My gaze was returned by
Grey cloud and steel
My music, shows/tour dates, merch, socials and more can be found here

I was proven dead wrong thinking that Cosmo Sheldrake's performances couldn't get better; Bravo to him, HOWL, and everyone else!
Does "standing still in one spot" constitute "performance" at this point? Don't get me wrong. Sounds great. But to call what he did a performance is an insult to any artist who puts in effort beyond instrumental proficiency. Plenty of professional singers can sound good live. The good ones put extra effort into the show. Aka: the performance.
@@Ahzpayne This is objectively wrong. Did you even pay attention to the cinematography or the song? Cosmo doesn't have to put on a show and dance around to entertain his audience. His performances are purely about the music.
L bozo@@Ahzpayne
How can I be like him then?
@@Ahzpayne He is performing the song live. As in, he is doing it. That's what the word means
I feel like no one talks about how cool the name "Cosmo Sheldrake" is.
You'll be amazed after finding out his brother's name!
@@flaraxunala4468 Ok... now you have to say what his brother's name is!!
@@graceMaximus his name is Merlin, I think he's a mycologist/biologist
@@scrampity-_-i dont know exactly what its called but he does alot of reaserch on fungi
Even wrote books and stuff
I love the poetry of cosmo's music. Making music out of nature is simply so wonderful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift.
THAT BRASS PART GOES SO CRAZY‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Please more live studio recordings cause I LOVE this. Just everyone in their zone. Seeing everyone's performance makes me appreciate music more
Note he takes the headphones off for the closing vocal; better to harmonize with no electronics. Pure genius.
to die listening to cosmo's music is to die a happy man.
I wsnt this played at my funeral.
I hope this version will be in the album, this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever laid my ears upon. You guys did amazing
The keyboardist's expression at 3:25 matches how I felt listening to this superb piece of music! I've been excited for your next album for a long while, and I am sure it will be one to remember!
Keyboardist-Arranger ;-)
Bro is cooking
Thank you Cosmo and HOWL for bringing us another magnificent track! you simply can't get this kind of music anywhere else, and that's what makes it special. Cheers!
Absolutely brilliant.
I love the polyphonic singing and the brass and woodwind section.
But I miss viola and cello.
Hope Cosmo is doing some shows in Germany in the near future.
I have a German tour on sale now (check my website!)
Lets go! We get to see the beautiful faces behind the beautiful voices!
I am Obsessed with this song. It is in my head constantly . I have heard it 50 times or more. I know every word. Cosmo you are astonishing
I'm gonna cry if this version isn't on the album (╥﹏╥) I love how the ensemble kicks in, this is so beautiful ❤
Let us all twist and meander down our slow descent with beautiful grace.
this song made me feel grateful to be alive. i had a full on MOMENT listening to this
👁️👁️ I live for this
I loved this song from the first time I heard it, but always felt it ended too abruptly. This is my first time listening to this studio version and it DELIVERS. The horns and wind instruments from around 3:15 onward are devastatingly passionate and powerful, feeling distinctly like an unstoppable, indomitable natural force such as a tsunami, pyroclastic cloud, or extinction-level event. To me, it embodies mortality, and how undeniable it is. But to finish so sweetly is the cherry on top, as if to say "Even when you are gone, life will go on." It is the sympathetic shrug that accepts how temporary everything is.
Fantastic as always, thank you Cosmo Sheldrake and Howl!
cosmo is one of the rare artists where i like everything they've ever made
This is unbelievable. So beautiful, i feel like you captured a modern new Orleans death march.
I definitely found my new obsession. Thank you guys 😍😍😍
this is probably one of my favorites from you of all time, the lyrics and the gentle yet ominously calming tunes are just perfect :]]
I love the aquatic ice sounds, reminds me the whales and the splash of the jumping stones with the surface of the ocean.
Gracias amigo ❤
I could live inside in this video, inside this song. I hope we get this version on spotify at some point!!
This song is actually insane!! Some of cosmo’s best
Hi Cosmo, I love your music. You and your musical ensemble are all amazing. Stay healthy and happy, Cosmo! Praying for you. ❤😊
HELL YA COSMO! The horns add so much.
Cosmo!! your my favorite artist pls never stop making music.
How insanely melodious and tingly and mellifluous and earthy. I love Cosmo's stuff so much. ✨✨
Does the acorn dream of oak tree
As it rests beneath asleep
Does it know the full potential
Of the roots that it will keep
Does the river hear the ocean's roar
As it journeys along its way
Does it feel the pull that's leading
Closer with each day
I won't go second-guessing
Or predicting what's unknown
I won't go judging nature
What has yet to fully show
I won't go forcing meanings
Where there are none to be found
I won't go digging answers
Hidden underneath the ground
Does the seedling know what it will be
As it sprouts for the very first time
Does the eggshell feel the chick
that is growing up inside
I looked out over meadow
At the buds on new spring trees
My gaze was met by new beginnings
And promise on the breeze
Oooo this is cool!
this song, to me, is partly about how death is just as natural as all other changes, like the changing of seasons or the flow of rivers.
This is like an inversion of that!
The hauntingly beautiful acapella ending...I'm in awe ✨️
THIS GOES INSANE
I wish the official version was this long 😢
I was not expecting that Cosmo would look like he'd tell me I underestimate his power after I tell him I have the high ground
This tastes delicious, the smell is alluring and the sight of this song makes my mouth water. (THIS LIVE IS ABSOLUTLY AMAZING, I AM SHIVERING!!!!!)
I want this version. No other one will do it for me like this one does
The Howl singers bringing the Blues of Cosmos lockdown song along on a warm lift of airy soothing feminine cradling. ❤ Fab musicians bringing the ragety mood from the rear , to drop us again softly onto the godess breeze of safe soft landing.
No sabría como explicar lo que me hace sentir su música, pero me encanta
I got here right at the 1 minute mark and I feel incredibly lucky for that. This was yet another brilliant masterpiece :)
This sounds like the tragic conclusion of Solar Waltz. And then the brass kicks in like an ascerbic funeral dirge.
YOU GOTTA ADD THIS VERSION TO SPOTIFY MAN
it will be after album
@@CosmoSheldrakeThanks Cosmo for sharing. Can you PLEASE share how you came up with this melody and the harmonies and how you came up with the melody for your Tardifgrade song?? I'd love to know and hope to hear from you!!
Cosmo makes the peefect music for nostalgic scenarios in my head
My soul hums in harmony with the universe listening to this
your music is pure magic
somehow got here the second it started i didn't even know about this premiere anyways good job on the music its great
I thought the album version couldn't get any better omg
this tingles my brain
Incredible as always
This is so incredible! Stumbled across a clip of it on tiktok and now can’t get it out of my head
I can really feel the soul. Reminds me of Over the Garden Wall
just stumbled upon this band. i am happy to be alive again. it gives me a vibe of a moonlit forest and stumbling across woodland creatures like trolls, giants and fairies.....🧚♂️ 🔥
They are dancing around a fire and invite you in to make music with them and we go on singing and dancing for the rest of eternity. ❤😂
this version is seriously incredible
I cried.
Enough said.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Absolutely incredible. It transports me.
Beautiful boy, beautiful music. Your work makes me so happy and connected to the earth and cosmos, Cosmo!
TY COSMO! You and your team are amazing!
Gorgeous from start to finish! Lovely to hear Rose, Lydia and Yusuf ❤ and everyone else
It's giving over the garden wall
After hearing this, and the interdimensional live studio recording i desperatly want them on spotify
one of my favorite songs of all time. nothing compares to this feeling
aw mann....
I can't figure out which one is better between this and the non-live version
this has been on loop for me since it came out, and music that is elevated when performed live is so incredible to listen to.
The shot at 4:05 is awesome; the amount of setup required to record something at such a high quality is wild
perfect.
i find your music so rich, theres always so much satisfaction in terms of like audio stimuli that i cant find anywhere else! ahh i cant describe how good it iss
It’s happening!!
Amazing! Spectacularly good.
I don't know what to comment but I really love this
Loved every second of this, great job to all of you!
What a wonderful present, thank U !
All the chills!! Gorgeous and beautifully rendered
friggen gorgeous. just incredibly beautiful.
these musicians are amazing‼️‼️‼️
Best Cosmo sheldrake song. Nothing else needs to be said
oh god,its perfectly splendid🥺i felt that in my soul
C'est magnifique. Merci cosmo🥰
This really is one of the most beautiful pieces of art created in the modern day. Thank you Cosmo and HOWL for making this.
I love it 🍂 Please, more of this!
This is just wonderful.
You have alchemized such sweet intense sadness into soulful Melody and intonation. This almost feels like the whole of human existence.
words can’t describe how deeply and throughly i enjoyed this. it’s like i was floating into the music, rising and falling with its ups and downs. it’s truly a work of art that has so many small details and ornaments that listening to it over and over again you hear something new every time ~ • *
this is heaven to my ears
I can't wait to see Cosmo live in May!! So excited
pure magic. did I listen to it twice in a row? yes.. yes I did. and I'll do it again. =)
LOVEloveLoveLOVELOVELOVE this so so so beautiful thank you so much for creating!!!!!
this is beautiful.
this is just unbeliavable
I love how noir-y this sounds!
Really giving the vibes of an intro to a drab, noir tv series in early london
I’m happy I saw and heard this video
Beautiful performance and lovely to see some familar faces!
Fuck that break at 3:18 is incredible
Love this. Cosmo is going through his swordfish trombones/raindogs era.
This song is a brain massage
Studio looks fab in this video! Great music, looking forward to diving in a little deeper Cosmo!
I think this is just fascinating.
Incroyable ✨
Magnificent!
wow, beautiful!!
