about
Written as a poem by Veslemøy norwegian summer 2009 before moving to England.
White light is about a particular moment, driving through the woods to a nearby lake for a night bath after a late shift at work, sun setting over the water, scattering white light over the lake.
lyrics
White Light.-*
I remember the summer, put my feet out of the window the car
driving with my mother, never thought we`d get that far
and the lake was on fire, white light scattered over the sea
dirt of the road whirled higher,
as the wheels turned it up to me
I remember the water, black and blue like a swimming-pool
boy seduced by her daughter, talk to her like an ignorant fool
wind warm as a blow-dryers air, pulling on your hair to sooth
and I was lost in the moment, with the water to keep you cool
Chorus:
pump your heart up with fire
Pump your body up with energy
light the flame dull, flame of desire
light up your soul with electricity
Hot summer heat like fire
warmth hits from high and low
warm winds that take you higher
breathing from your bones
White light inflames the sky
as summer heat it burns
freedom takes you higher
as the wheels they turn
Chorus:
pump your heart up with fire
Pump your body up with energy
light the flame dull, flame of desire
light up your soul with electricity
I remember the summer, had my feet out the window of the car
driving with my mother, never thought we would get that far
and the lake was on fire, white light scattered over the sea
and I could finally remember,
how it really feels to be free...
