about

song written by Nikaido Kazumi. Lyrics adapted into English by Karl Blau through matching the feeling of the song.

lyrics

To tie rocks to the clouds - you’re willing
Lean your head on a puddle pillow
Check the sky filling up with feathers
Hear the calls from the stream of ganders

Soft as down let us go together
Settle down and the rains we’ll gather
Light as trot ne’er a thought to struggle
Ours are the colors of the rainbow puddle

Once upon an island
A tumbleweed cartwheeled in from out there
Some call it home
The place where some roam

It couldn’t be a mountainous high rise
Cause you would feel the rivers pull downward
You’ll stand and stare at majestic mountains
Bare feet in tideflats
Sinking past your ankles!

Driftwood tugs at your hands and shoulders
Take me home it softly mutters
Near a trail head is nodding enter
Them baby nettles cradle in the crib of winter

Once a seed caught in breeze
Thought to be a weed
From far the wind did take you
Over oceans and a nation

It couldn’t be a mountainous high rise
Cause you would feel the rivers pull downward
You’ll stand and stare at majestic mountains
Feet in tideflats
Oh
What is this place that you get a window
To look through but the shudder is closing
You’ll tap the glass mouthing the words “thank you”
Blinds unfurling
Will they open again?

about

Karl Blau Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

These records are all over the place. My latest studio record Love & Harm consists of a modern country rock sound featuring the pedal steel of Jon Hyde (Introducing) and amazing players you'd recognize from playing on stage with me. Living in Germantown, Philadlephia, started a recording project called Opal Eskar, check that out too. ... more
