The song propels you.

A Song A Day

Not that new, but just so exuberantly Friday in its joy. This is going to be a weekend to remember. I feel like it’s the pre-Summer kickoff, a dress rehearsal for Memorial Day. Brewers/Twins, friends from Chicago, Milwaukee, BBQs, birthdays. Life, it’s bigger. Let’s get fired-up. 

Animal Arithmetic by Jónsi from Go        

Wake up, cut my hair

Making food disappear

Riding bikes, making out

Elephants run you down

You and I run away, blushing cheeks

Howling wolves, colourful fireworks 

Every time, everyone, everything’s full of life

Everyday, everywhere, people are so alive

We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive!

We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive!

(Icelandic) Horfandi, þegjandi, tala við, skríðandi

Dreymandi, strjúka af, koma við ekki má

Mála á líkama, spilað á renglandi

Hlaupandi! Leikandi!

(English: Listening, silent, speak to, creeping

Dreaming, wipe off, mustn’t touch

Paint the body, played on lankingly

Running! Playing!)

Get it on, let it out, fucking and spúandi

Get it on, let it out, fucking and kæfandi

(Get it on, let it out, fucking and erupting

Get it on, let it out, fucking and choking)

We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive!

Exist all in love, in life!

We should all be (Oh Oh Oh) alive!

Let’s not stop, let’s grow and live!

I see you colourful : I see you in the trees

I see you spiritful : You’re in the breeze

I see it in your hands : Tree fingers draw a beam

I see you in the sand : Roll down the stream

I see you in the trees : I see you colourful

I see you in the breeze : You’re spiritful

Tree fingers draw a beam : I see it in your hands

You’re rolling down the stream : You’re in the sand

… are you fired-up?
