Kids 2 - 5.17
Written by LEIF. Recorded by LEIF in Skippergata & in the magic wintergarden, Oslo. Mixed by Jonas Kroon at Saga Studio, Oslo.
One day I felt lonely and I started touching my own neck and face to get some love. A lot of app-dating serves this basic need and desire for human touch. Growing up in a conservative Christian family and culture, any type of sexual contact was strictly prohibited outside of marriage. Unmarried, the only physical human warmth I had access to was the hugs of wonderful friends like Ann-Iren and the hugs from my mother; with her standing on the staircase to equalize the difference (of height) between us. The love we share with someone in a specific moment has the qualities of silver: beautiful and fragile.
Lyrics
Sometimes I touch myself to get some love when I´m down
Sometimes I search to find someone to give me love and fun
It´s not as bad as they told me
Cause I´m ok in Paris
All I really need is my apartment
Some herbs and some books and the hope that
That you´ll be there
So give it up
I´m fumbling for words and to find you
And if I do it´s hard to believe that you want me
I go the woods for a hipster shoot
I drink some home-brew and you write you this
A cliché, 62
Tonight I fight my angels
Seems like I´m set out to fail
Days are like silver
I´m somewhere out there
And I´ll be ok
