The Pillows - Crazy Sunshine [English Translation Cover]

Stream or download "The Kids Don't Need Masters - An English Tribute to The Pillows" featuring all my covers from YouTube and one not featured here:

I believe this is the first one of these I've produced based on a fan request. For whatever it reason it's been by far the most difficult to get across the finish line. I did most of it then took about a 6 month break from it for life stuff and other projects. The lyrics and vocals were especially clunky to try and nail down, but I think things eventually got there. Enjoy!

Lyrics

Everyone of us a scared and tribal monkey
All caught in a game we can only lose
Hanging for life to a worthless banana roulette

Prying open all our sewn-up tight held eye lids
Our feelings bottled up, trapped oh so deep inside
I know it’s hard out there
Youve held back years of tears
Lay em here, it’s clear my friend

We’ll all drown in here
Numbed by boredom from all that you fear

Crazy sunshine
Who can stop us now?
We can shine on
That light will build us all a home

Tightrope dancing
Could do this on one leg
We’ll set this desire on fire as sad as I may seem
Ooo ooo, Don’t you worry now

Chase them all away, make asses out of donkeys
They sing for a win they never earned
All that they owned, well it belongs to you and me now

Actually I knew the very night we first met
You shine with a spirit so bright and burning hot
Still these ghosts haunt our world
its cursed with cruelty, greed and fear, they’re here my dear

A monster with no name
Calls out in my sleep, it wants to consume me

Crazy sunshine
Who can stop us now?
We can shine on
That light will build us all a home

Tightrope dancing
Could do this on one leg
We’ll set this desire on fire as sad as I may seem
Ooo ooo, Don’t you worry nowr

This song gives me so much nostalgia about having no other worries than going to the beach and which bottle of alcohol I would try with my friends. miss those days
