Roland Faunte - First Thing (Official Lyric Video)

Connect with Roland:

Lyrics:
Making it work
Is its own form of art
The creation
Of something alive

The love between two
Is a flame all its own
That you shelter from the winds of your life

You form it and feed it
And do what is needed
To make sure it’s warm to the touch

But tend to it right
And it burns through the night
When there’s nothing it will be enough

‘Cause there’s a lot of pain in life
If you wanna feel the light
You’ll dig through the thorns and the weeds
‘Til the heart grows a new pair wings

You are the first thing
That I wanna see when I wake up

Then in the evening
I’ll hold your hand as I drift off

If life is a gamble
And love is the answer
Then everything comes with a risk

You open your heart
And you put down your shields
Hold your breath, you just let someone in

They see who you are
Might kiss you on your scars
As they sift through the good and the bad

Your hearts intertwine
It starts changing your lives
Something stops before something begins

Blind to what the future holds
I would like to hold you now
I’m old enough to see

There’s a lot of pain in life
If you wanna feel the light
You’ll dig through the thorns and the weeds
’Til the heart grows a new pair wings

You are the first thing
That I wanna see when I wake up

Then in the evening
I’ll hold your hand as I drift off

And in the meantime
I hope that you’ll visit me in dreams

Then in the day time
Let’s get together and do nothing at all

You are the first thing
That I wanna see when I wake up

Then in the evening
I’ll hold your hand as I drift off

And in the meantime
I hope that you’ll visit me in dreams

Then in the daytime
Let’s get together and do nothing at all

This video was drawn and animated by my friend Evan (insta: @evaan.arts). If you liked it please consider giving them a follow/letting them know! It was a privilege to get to work with them, thank you all so much for watching/sharing what we made.

I have “first thing” on repeat. Such a killer song. I roll through my hood blasting it and all the homeboys just laugh.

[victorechezuria]

It's so beautiful. It's impossible to not connect with this song. Is magic inside a song

[Ghost-Captain]

This song genuinely makes me tear up thinking about my partner listening to this. Its so so beautiful and full of love, the feeling of almost a "domestic" adoration. The simple act of loving someone with all your being. Loving all of their being.
Everything is amazing here. Such a beautiful song and visuals and a one way ticket to get into my feelings about how much i love my boyfriend lol. Thank you for this.
