Lyrics:

When I was young and I was barely free
Just a boy upon my mother’s knee
Was that the wind howling through the trees
Or was that you
Calling to me
Calling to me

You showed me where the candle flame was black
I said oh babe I never noticed that
And with your breasts pressed against my back
You were
Laughing in the bath
Laughing in the bath

Take a look at this face of mine
Is it cool? Is it crystalline?
Or a pale imitation
A new tessellation
Tell me what you see
Moondog, you’re all I need

My mind keeps circling back to you
Like the universe just begs me to
What frightens me is what frightens you
What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do?

I’m breaking free with a deeper will
The one I seek is a seeker still
Always reaching
Never teaching
I know nothing who am I to instruct
Moondog, you’re outta luck

Sometimes there’s magic, sometimes it’s hid
Half of magic is just hiding
I was loved you just didn’t know I did
One day I just left the light in
It was a barnburner in Galena, Illinois
Fate hit me like a bolt of lightning

Tired of living in the pouring rain
Tired of living in the pouring rain
Tired of living in the pouring rain
It’s my life and I’m living in it

Sometimes there’s magic, sometimes it’s hid
Half of magic is just hiding

“Half of magic is just hiding” what a line

[ymanishj]

please never stop making music this is everything

[WilliamDunbar-jp]

Leif, you will probably not ever get the mainstream credit you deserve, thank god. It is only because of the music you make. However, you are a genius and your lyrics are perfection. Do not stop man. I have been waiting for like 6 months to get this album on vinyl! I can't wait! Thank you. My wife and I sit in front of a fire and put your music on as my children sit and read and there is no place I would rather be.

[benedictehess]

Bonjour Leif ! Je vous écoute depuis de très très nombreuses années et vous remercie pour tout et bravo pour votre immense talent Bien à vous de la France (Alsace !)

[abijah]

This is stellar, I remember hearing it for the first time at the special show in Montreal last autumn. Can't wait for the full album and the short film!

[gloomshroomz]

Can't wait to be screaming "tired of living in the pouring rain" in Montreal soon ❤❤ it's gonna heal something in me

[brandonjohn]

Incredible, I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for an album in my life.

[gambeeno]

The use of sound effects on 'Fate hit me like a bolt of lightning' and tired in the pouring rain is just magical

Thank you Leif (Leifur) for this song, wow, it hit me in the heart on the first bars. The voice is so open and naked. The arrangement fits perfectly, subtle and beautiful. The video is awesome, so simple, so powerful, the rain and the hand gesture at the end is just so much Leif. I look forward to the new material. Keep on making music from the heart .

[brianfulda]

This is everything we could have asked for...the cinematography, the backdrop, and don't even get me started on the song...thank you Leif. Patiently waiting for the record.
