about
Life Goes flows naturally into existence when production supergroup The Flatmates meets rap supergroup Captains of the Imagination. Zacharie Ksyk, trumpet player familiar with both entities, acts as the pollinating bee between them, reinforcing their blossoming sounds with his honey-like melodies. A song both simple and profound, it has a groove you are certain to rock to, and leaves you with a smile.
This track serves as a preview for their upcoming EP whose themes are floral and spring-inspired. That’s why the music video directed by LCPRN was filmed in the greenhouse of the botanical garden of Bern, giving the work the fitting feeling of being outside the space/time continuum, anchored in the world of imagination where these Captains excel.
lyrics
[Pre-chorus: Imagine]
Life goes, life goes by
And my heart’s going in circles
Time goes, time goes by
Now my mind’s reaching the surface
Life goes, life goes by
And my heart’s going in circles
Time goes, time goes by
Now my mind’s reaching the surface
[Verse 1: Imagine]
Now while you’re watering my flowers
I don’t know if I can make it to the tip of all these hours,
I’m just asking you for questions
But you don’t come up with answers
So I’m taking you to places that I can’t even Imagine
I’ve been here waiting so long that I don’t even know
How much I can take it, I lost patience
Now I’m fading like a sunset
Now if it’s you that’s looking for me
Then you can come up to me and we can hook up ‘til the morning
[Bridge: Evita Koné]
Oh, now everything's in motion, here we go
Now has the sun always had this kind of glow?
Would be a shame if I have to watch it go
Put a piece in my pocket and I take one for the road
Now everything's in motion, here we go
Love is there but it doesn't always show
Would be a shame if I had to watch it go
Save a bit for later and then I'll take one for the road
[Chorus: Evita Koné]
And bring a little light to dark
And baby you can show your spark
And oh, before you know
It'll all go up in smoke
And bring a little light to dark
And baby you can show your spark
And oh, before you know
It'll all go up in smoke
[Verse 2: Dr Koul]
I was on the inside looking in
Now I’m on the outside looking out
I don’t know the truth, but I know the doubt
I don’t know the dance moves, but I know the sound
Of the song, but the lyrics, when it’s gibberish
That’s when you sing along?
When it’s serious, you get lost
I’m just trying to share my f****ing thoughts,
Missing out
[Pre-chorus: Imagine & Evita Koné]
Life goes, life goes by
And my heart’s going in circles
Time goes, time goes by
Now my mind’s reaching the surface
Life goes, life goes by
And my heart’s going in circles
Time goes, time goes by
Now my mind’s reaching the surface
[Chorus: Evita Koné (& Imagine)]
(Life goes, life goes by)
And bring a little light to dark
And baby you can show your spark
(Time goes, time goes by)
And oh, before you know
It'll all go up in smoke
(Life goes, life goes by)
And bring a little light to dark
And baby you can show your spark
(Time goes, time goes by)
And oh, before you know
It'll all go up in smoke
