Enjoy the Ride
I think we need something a bit more mellow for August.
I wonder how many out there have heard of Morcheeba?
Well, you have now. They're an electronic band from the UK that combine a bunch of different influences into a pretty unique style. They split up a while ago, but I think they're back together now and still making music.
I just love Skye's melodic voice and insightful lyrics.
And the message couldn't be more timely.
"Enjoy the Ride" by Morcheeba
Lyrics: ▶︎
They shut the gates at sunset
After that you can't get out
You can see the bigger picture
Find out what it's all about
You're open to the skyline
You won't wanna go back home
In a garden full of angels
You will never be alone
But oh, the road is long
The stones that you are walking on
Have gone
With the moonlight to guide you
Feel the joy of being alive
The day that you stop running
Is the day that you arrive
And the night that you got locked in
Was the time to decide
Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride
If you close the door to your house
Don't let anybody in
It's a room that's full of nothing
All that underneath your skin
Face against the window
You can watch it fade to grey
But you'll never catch the fickle wind
If you choose to stay
But oh, the road is long
The stones that you are walking on
Have gone
With the moonlight to guide you
Feel the joy of being alive
The day that you stop running
Is the day that you arrive
And the night that you got locked in
Was the time to decide
Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride
Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride
With the moonlight to guide you
Feel the joy of being alive
The day that you stop running
Is the day that you arrive
And the night that you got locked in
Was the time to decide
Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride (x5)
