Let The Apples Roll
(Song Make El Wierdo / Lyr Dr. Orsaken)
Hel ehsker e, hel ehsker e haliyah
bodefiev, bodefiev pal´au
Orchard
on the top of the mound
Up so high where the daydreams fly
Zigzagging through the poems the bees write upon the sky
Some never learn how to use caesuras
Some while away and ponder what makes syllables fall
Can you hear the drumming, hailstorm´s a comin´
Ra-ta-tam, ra-ta-tam, ra-ta!
Picture perfect skin under picture perfect leaves
Ra-ta-tam, ra-ta-tam, ra-ta!
The flesh and the core and the vulnerable seeds
Epicuticular wax gives...
...no, no, no kind of protection
so spread your moods and just let go
In the wintertime some of the foolest trees
haven’t fallen asleep
They hold on tight to the verse lines they fear to lose
but they’re all frozen to the core
Gravity’s there for a reason
Maybe you should give it a try
RIP THE PAPER, WHATEVER IT HOLDS INSIDE
LET IT STAND OUT, POUR IT ON EVERYTHING
SET THEM FREE, SET THE TINY LITTLE WEIRD THINGS FREE
RET THEM TILL THE PERMUTATION SEPARATES
SET THEM FREE, KNOCK DOWN THE BASKET
SET THEM FREE, LET THE APPLES ROLL!
LET THEM ROLL!
Welcome the upheaving hailstones
falling down from the sky
Perhaps they infect your delivery
with a wake-up disease
RIP THE PAPER, WHATEVER IT HOLDS INSIDE
LET IT STAND OUT, POUR IT ON EVERYTHING
SET THEM FREE, SET THE TINY LITTLE WEIRD THINGS FREE
RET THEM TILL THE PERMUTATION SEPARATES
SET THEM FREE, KNOCK DOWN THE BASKET!
SET THEM FREE, LET THE APPLES ROLL!
LET THE APPLES ROLL!
SET THEM FREE, SET THE TINY LITTLE WEIRD THINGS FREE
RET THEM TILL THE PERMUTATION SEPARATES
SET THEM FREE, KNOCK DOWN THE BASKET!
SET THEM FREE, LET THE APPLES ROLL!
Ahskar a, hahskar a hal´aa Ea
Liberated fruit of boundlessness
It´s a master key, it´s a crowbar to yourself, to yourself
It´s a strange, so very strange
wonderful place, strange paradise
You´ve got the key, you´ve got to use it
The mighty apple tree was one of the earliest trees
the earliest tree to be cultivated
It´s fruits´ve been improved through meticulous selection
over thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of years
Apple´s equal to knowledge and immortality
temptation, the fall of man into sin, and sin itself
It´s a strange, so very strange
wonderful place, strange paradise
You´ve got the key, you´ve got to use it
Feel free! Take a bite!
You can see the difference
You can also hear the difference
Ladies and gentlemen, let the apples roll free!
Ladies and gentlemen, let the apples roll!
It’s a match made in heaven: Juliana Hatfield tackles the classic ELO catalog on a road that leads to power pop bliss. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 18, 2023
The two epic tracks on the latest from BC group Lakeman are mind-melters, opening slow and pensive before erupting into near-doom metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 4, 2022
The post-hardcore band’s latest is a reflection on time, memory, death, and grief—and is their dreamiest material to date. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 22, 2019
An earthy yet somewhat chilly record about life, death, and reconnection, the latest from LOMA experiments with a turn towards the gloomy. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 16, 2024
