  • Crystal-Rose-Neroli Bundle
    USB Flash Drive + Digital Album

    Receive the music on a stick of clear Crystal & Rose Gold, along with a pink salt crystal formed of cambrian evaporate, aged roughly between 540-600 million years; the package is wrapped up with a few drops of precious Neroli oil, which was harvested in 2019 (a fine year, we can all agree) from Springtime's first orange blossom buds (Nangrahar, Afghanistan).

    INSTRUCTIONS: Listen to the album with the pink crystal on your forehead or on your chest, or somewhere nearby. Touch it, play with it, kiss it if you like. Crystals like these were abundant around the studio during the making of this album (as well as Citrine, Pink Quartz, and a lot of wood + water). Finally, before listening to the song Rose Gold, take a deep inhalation of the scent of Neroli oil (which is both subtle and strong, and should permeate the package that arrives on your doorstep, as well as the pink crystal itself). Rose Gold is a song that is as intimately tied to Afghanistan as the flowers buds that offered us their precious oil.

    INFO: Crystal / Rose Gold USB stick has 2GB capacity. Pink crystal pieces vary by colour. Neroli oil is not visible in the package, it can only be smelled and enjoyed; it is provided in collaboration with the fine work of Ishkar and Turquoise Mountain.

lyrics

Guitar, synths, drums, vocals Yusuf 'Yoshi' Misdaq

I will ride
From the start
Write you poems
From my heart.

I will sing
Make you art
Trace your face
And vibes on my heart

I will think
Think of you
Read your mind
Think like you

You will call
Call to me
Beckon me
With your powerful energy

Upon the edge of the stoney waves
Time sinks in my eyes and my face
Will you still be here when I'm old and grey?
I'm trying not to make more mistakes

I will doubt
With fear in my brain
Stain this present
With my future rain

I will hold
Back my words
Scared to commit
Scared of the verbs

The buzz has gone
But the vibe remains
Your open heart
Has it all arranged

I can't resist
The pull of the drift
I fall in deep
But something's amiss

Upon the edge of the stoney waves
Time sinks in my eyes and my face
Will you still be here when I'm old and grey?
I'm trying not to make more mistakes

Fire and dust and
Termite days
I don't want it to go
But they take it away

The wooden ship
I have made
Too primitive
Can't be saved

I wear my suit
Sit in my seat
They've designated
A number for me

I see some pieces
Of perfect plastic
Placed perfectly
Nutritional Supplements
I guess I can eat

The tomb rips open
And I fall out the sky
33A, with my seatbelt
I fly

So calm, as I
See the spinning sea
I don't ask 'why?' or cry
I finish my tea

I know where I'll be
With the fishes of eternity
Two hundred year old
Turtles will carry me

You tell the tales
Of the things I did
Big up my legend
Tell them how I lived
