about

Love that we managed to record this one during lockdown 2021!
We got the ball rolling with Jeff Consi recording his drums at his home studio we've now dubbed "Nautilus Street Recorders".
I hope you dig it as much as we enjoyed making it.

LYRICS
Midnight Sun - Spiby 2018

Green eyes high in the midnight sky
With the long black fingernails and snow-white skin
She’s butterflies in the flowerbed
See the arc of the wrecking ball in early spring
Closing in

I’m going back, the time has come
Back to the land of the midnight sun
To plant my feet on holy ground
Back where the rivers run
In the land of the midnight sun

Bells were ringing in the village square
And we all got swept along by a sudden breeze
Where a careless choir kill a pretty song
For a sailor lost at sea
I’m going back, the time has come
Back to the land of the midnight sun

To feel my feet on sacred ground
To live by the beating drum
In the land of the midnight sun
I’m going back, where the rivers run
Back in the land of the midnight sun

I faced my fear, I was terrified
She laughed like a loaded gun
In the land of the midnight sun

And here before my eyes
Here from another place in time
Summer dreams that I left behind
Where summer days go on and on and on and on
In the land of the midnight sun
Strange light after midnight
In the midnight sun

Daylight after midnight
In the midnight sun
I’m going back
I’m going back
I’m going back
