about
i wrote this song over a year ago! been through many different versions and felt kinda good about this one haha.
in a nutshell, this song is about utopia. a story about finding escapism and fulfilment in an ideal world.
lyrics
lyrics:
imagine a world, we all lived in peace
a land filled with promise and none to defeat
nobody to tell us what is right or wrong
some place that’s far away, that’s where we belong
away from this madness, it’s cruel and malign
i won’t stand for no power, no they won’t take what’s mine
although I’m feeling lonely and trapped in this dark place
at least I got you, my girl, you know, you’re my only escape
that’s why we gotta ease on down,
ease on down,
ease on down,
at least I got you, my girl, you know, you’re my only escape
(x2)
no questions, no answers,
just time alone with you, my favourite girl,
just dancing alone
we got the whole universe in the palm of our hands,
no need to make no desperate plans,
we got it here, we made our lucky escape
ease on down,
ease on down,
ease on down,
at least I got you, my girl, you know you’re my escape
that’s why we gotta ease on down,
ease on down,
ease on down,
at least I got you, my girl...

This is criminally underrated. I wish more people would notice their chemistry because it's off the charts. Alfa and Emmavie shine on every track at every second - it's hard to find this quality of work these days but wow, they deserve all the praise for a flawless record. Tevin Lind
