Cosmo Sheldrake - Does the Swallow Dream of Flying

[@margett__]

This one goes straight to my “I’m listening to this one till every crevice and turn becomes so familiar that it feels like wearing an old trustworthy pair of shoes” playlist. Thank you so much! Can’t wait for the album.

Probably because I first heard this song while someone was drawing a scene of someone mourning the recent death of their loved one, but especially the beginning has a melancholic presence. I love it.

[@cowboysnake22]

Cosmo and AURORA are two of my favorite artists because they both sing songs about nature and I believe truly respect it. Plus their music itself is absolutely beautiful always!

[@Florakoko]

cosmo and aurora are like…. old mossy forest god energy VS motherly goddess energy. same vibes but different fonts

@@Florakoko Exactly! Perfect way too describe them. King and Queen of Earth. What I wouldn’t give to see them collaborate on a song together!

Lyrics for those who want to follow : Does the swallow dream of flying As it sleeps on the wing Does it long for the summer As it flies home for spring Does Daisy feel a sadness At the last rays of sun Does the wind feel a gladness At the work that it's done I won't go making mountains Out of molehills Any more I won't go chasing windmills Round in circles Any more I won't go preaching sermons To the choir what's it for? I won't go through the motions anymore Does the river ever wonder What will come round the bend? As it twists and meanders Down its slow descent I looked out over London With my last cup of tea My gaze was returned by Grey cloud and steel

[@Sunlight-rs1]

Both this and Stop The Music feel pretty apocalyptic to me. Like songs to wander abandoned cities to.

[@Almessa-iv2cm]

The lyrics are literally describing the death of everything, no wind,no speaking no water and one last glace and cup of tea

[@vampbat]

Cosmo Sheldrake is reminding me that my daily stresses matters to other people, but not to Time or to the Earth. Thank you, Cosmo. I will try to not make mountains out of mole hills this year!

[@marierose8580]

instant connection with this one, sonically and lyrically... the humming throughout and the choir towards the end speaks to my entire nervous system somehow, which is very great timing, because lately it's been going a bit haywire without my permission. "i won't go through the motions anymore." is a sentiment that resonates in so many ways. beautiful work as always

1:03 sounds so sinister. The music make shis voice sound like its inbetween angry disapointed and tired while at the same time its the same voice, making it sound like the feelings are being repressed. Amazing

[@smile.mp3906]

Dude I wish this song was longer. Just the ideas behind the lyrics and the mystical feeling behind a sort of sour acceptance just resonates with me. This song could be 10 minutes, 20 even and I’d listen to every second of it. If anything, I just wish that chorus was repeated, it hit so freakin hard. Amazing stuff cosmo, keep up the hard work dude you’re gonna go far

[@alcedob.5850]

So rich in sound yet so minimalistic. Can't stop admiring every beat

[@_Mossshroom_]

This song makes me feel like I'm lying alone on the edge of the forest thinking about how I’m an equal part of this world just like animals and insects and trees and rocks and clouds and-

[@ryanfecarotta6726]

WAKE UP BABE NEW COSMO SHELDRAKE SONG JUST DROPPED !!!!!

[@TheEggDev]

Love your music cosmo ❤

[@emmerzleigh5540]

I love the questioning of animals and the nature, asking if they have humanlike emotions to the things they do every day. Do they second guess themselves? Do they worry about the next move? Do they iverthinl? Do they feel the joy of making it through the day? Then him understanding that he shouldnt worry as much as he does, "i wont go through the motions" gives me the vibe of depression cycles, how it starts small and gets worse. Then the ending shows his acceptance of those feelings, as they are, and letting them just be, not controlling him

[@markyjanu10]

Thank you for this comment. Especially the "understanding that he shouldnt worry as much as he does" and "the vibe of depression cycles, how it starts small and gets worse" resonates with me so much. More because of an impending burnout than depression, I think, but you've put into words some vague thoughts I had about this song and.. I think I'll bring this to my therapist, actually.

[@markyjanu10]

something around mindfulness, letting things go and such. I'll have to ponder a bit. Being me and focusin more on what's natural for me than what it affects outwardly. Hmmm.

[@emmerzleigh5540]

@markyjanu10 I'm glad I was able to express it well for you! Yeah, the cycle can be anything for sure, I've been trying not to stress so much of the "little" things and go with the flow more, with some planning ahead for things like university lol. Cosmo Sheldrakes music has helped me a lot, I hope it helps you too :) You have a lovely day

[@lightningprince2134]

Absolutely love the low bass in this song. The lyrics are also super nice and magical

[@Florakoko]

I don’t think I’ve felt such emotion on the very 1st listen of a song. This hit me right in the core. You never fail to make bangers after banger. Never stop making soul touching music 🔥🔥

The first time I listened to this song, it was on a midnight drive to get pizza with my best friend after 6 hours of studying and the bass was turned all the way up and I don't think I'll ever get that faerie magic induced feeling of ASCENDING ever again

These last few days have been so hard on me so this song absolutely hits different. Todays the first day since the year started that Ive felt mentally, emotionally, physically well enough to go on a walk through the woods despite it being overcast and rainy. Couldnt help but take a rest at the trunk of a lichen covered tree and listen to this song again followed by the echos of the rain drops around me. Amazing work as always Cosmo Sheldrake! 💜🍃✨🌱

Dang, you can really feel this one... calm yet emotionally complex. It's like a next-gen standard.

[Intro] Does the swallow dream of flying, As it sleeps on the wing? Does it long for the summer, As it flies home for spring? Does daisy feel a sadness, With the last rays of sun? Does the wind, feel a gladness, With the work that its done. I won't go making mountains, Out of molehills, anymore. I won't go chasing windmills, Round in circles, anymore. I won't go, preaching sermons, To the choir, whats it for? I won't go through the motions, anymore. Does the river, ever wonder, What will come round the bend? As it takes time to the madness, Down its slow descent. I look out over London, With my last, cup of tea My gaze was returned by Grey cloud and steam. [Outro]
