Intimate, mysterious, energetic, existential and strikingly different, this new single by the Amsterdam collective stamps, claps, breathily speaks, has soft touches on piano and buzzing, clicking synths, and a catchy chorus in this marriage human and electronic, heralding their forthcoming album Utopia, out on 13 June. To explore and enjoy more of the musical, theatrical and experimental work of Snowapple, including a previous single, I, Cyborg, see also the other embedded links below.
I never saw my body as part of me
It was always there
Running right beside me
A shadow to my heart
Like a shadow to my heart
I always imagined that when I closed my eyes
It was leaving me
Slipping out of my flesh
A shadow to my heart
Like a shadow to my heart
I always imagined that my body
it was traveling
Leaving for another world
Of sky and clouds
Like a shadow to my heart
And I know my body too
And I know my body too
I knew that my body
Loved other people too
And sometimes it offered itself
To those who wanted it
One morning
Half happy - half curious
I found it bruised and sad
And I reassured him
I thought it would last forever
And I watched him live his life
And I lived mine
Like partners in a black-and-white film
Not quite the same
Nor quite different
I never saw my body as part of me
It was always there
Running right beside me
A shadow to my heart
Like a shadow to my heart
I always imagined that when I closed my eyes
it was leaving me
Slipping out of my flesh
A shadow to my heart
Like a shadow to my heart
And I know my body too
I knew that when I woke up
It would be there
And sometimes I would find it tired
Like from running too much
But my body one day
It started to come back
Weaker and weaker
His long walks
Took all of his strength
And he could not hold back
His skin returned blackened sometimes
From the fingers of other bodies
And his breath was so short
I wanted to hold him back
But it was too late
It was too late
My body didn’t wanna listen anymore
And then one day my body
For having left it too much to itself
One day my body
Stopped coming back entirely
I never saw my body as part of me
It was always there, running right beside me
A shadow to my heart
Like a shadow to my heart
And I know my body too
And I know my body too
My body loves me, my body loves me
And I know my body too
And I know my body too
My body loves me, my body loves me
And I know my body too
And I know my body too
My body loves me, my body loves me
And I know my body too
And I know my body too
My body loves me, my body loves me
And I know my body too
My body loves me, my body
