Wild Nothing - "Paradise" (Official Music Video)

[@untillthat]

It's Summer 2023. To this day, I always play this song at least once or twice whenever I travel. Whether via car, train, boat or plane, as if it's tradition. The perfect travel song DOES exist.

[@emily-gh9ox]

i agree!! the best travel song. i also remember this song in the biggest change of my life transitioning to moving out permanently in 2013 at 18... love this song for that

2:05 “Amo amas amat amamus amatis amant amavi amavisti amavit amavimus amavistis amaverunt amavero amaveris amaverit… Everything was love. Everything will be love. Everything has been love. Everything would be love. Everything would have been love. Ah, that was it, the truth at last. Everything would have been love. The huge eye, which had become an immense sphere, was gently breathing, only it was not an eye nor a sphere but a great wonderful animal covered in little waving legs like hairs, waving oh so gently as if they were under water. All shall be well and all shall be well said the ocean. So the place of reconciliation existed after all, not like a little knot hole in a cupboard but flowing everywhere and being everything. I had only to will it and it would be, for spirit is omnipotent only I never knew it, like being able to walk on the air. I could forgive. I could be forgiven. I could forgive. Perhaps that was the whole of it after all. Perhaps being forgiven was just forgiving only no one had ever told me. There was nothing else needful. Just to forgive. Forgiving equals being forgiven, the secret of the universe, do not whatever you do forget it. The past was folded up and in the twinkling of an eye everything had been changed and made beautiful and good.” ― Iris Murdoch, A Word Child

Dancer in the night playing with my eyes. Velvet tongue so sweet say anything you like. Crush me with the lies and tell me once or twice that love is paradise, that love is paradise Dancer in the night playing with my eyes. Velvet tongue so sweet say anything you like. Crush me with the lies and tell me once or twice that love is paradise, that love is paradise. The poem: Amo. Amas. Amat. Amamas. Amatis. Amand. Amave. Amavisti. Amavet. Amavenus. Amavestis. Amaveret. Amavero. Amaveris. Amaverit. Everything was love. Everything will be love. Everything has been love. Everything would be love. Everything would have been love Ahh...that was it. The truth at last. Everything would have been love. The huge eye which would have become an immense fear was gently breathing only without an eye, nor a sphere. But our great wonderful animal, covered in little waving legs like hairs. Waving, oh so gently as if they were underwater. All should be went and all should be well said that ocean. So the place of reconciliation existed after all. Not like a little, not wholly uncovered, but flowing everywhere and being everything. I had only to will it and I would be. For spirit is omnipotent, only I never knew it. And being able to walk on the Earth. I could forgive. I could be forgiven. I could forgive. Perhaps that was the whole of it after all. Perhaps being forgiven is just forgiving and no one had ever told me. There was nothing else needful. Just to forgive. Forgiving equals being forgiven. The secret of the universe. Do not whatever you do forget it. The past was folded out and in the twinkle of an eye and everything had been changed. And made beautiful and good.
