about
Firefly is a manically funked-out song about the archeology of hope. It leads with the assumption we all have an inner glow, an inherent resourcefulness. At times we have to dust off the artifacts to reconnect. The fossilization of our lived experience is an invitation to be unpacked in learning to get out of our own way. I’ve always felt there is so much to learn from nature and bugs. Taking time to slow down and bring mindful curiosity to their presence always yields something new for me.
lyrics
Well the fireflies
Are in disguise
Their psychology been a part of me that I fossilized
Dig sifting off the artifacts
Fall below
Feel the glow
When the shadow comes
To greet the sun
I get a heart attack and a broken back cause it weights a ton
Bug magic just to peel your way
From the smoke
Greet your ghost
We’re gonna learn to feel tonight
All our love
Well the talking cure
Is so absurd
I need a river swim when I’m wearing thin at a loss for words
A little nature just to feel the light spark inside, catalyze
Like a firefly
Who comes alive
Archeology in the part of me that I localize
But still trippin on the artifacts
Fall below
Feel the Glow
We’re gonna learn to feel tonight
All our love

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
An ambitious pop song cycle about human loneliness and fear, thick with harmonies and buoyed by tight musicianship. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 27, 2018
Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37
