about

I wrote the music for this one right after I wrote the music for Lucy and the Lioness, so they have a similar feel. I really wanted Huan-Hua to sing on this one too, since they both seemed like they were made by the same band. So, glad it worked out!!! ZC
------
owl: this is actually a duplicate post for @zecoop, but since his old post had a different title etc. I figured I'd just post it again here as a new song!

He sent this to me a while back for a potential collab, and I really liked it, but I was concerned about finding time to fit this in before the end of the month (rightly so, I basically just found a little bit of time today, the last day of FAWM, because I took the day off and finished another collab earlier than I expected) so I told him he should just post it as is, but he said he would save it for me for whenever I had time. Glad to say I managed to get some lyrics and a little synth lead part together today! The song felt very sunny to me, so I ended up putting together some lyrics about a Greek vacation.

ZeCoop: what a great surprise!! I would have made a new post anyway, so very glad that owl went ahead and posted it! I wrote this one within a day or two from the other that she did with me and it really felt like the same band, so I asked if she wanted to finish the 7” 45rpm single, kind of like a B side to the other song. This really turned out wonderfully and her additions took it to a place I never would have expected, stylistically. I love it! Thanks for carving out something in the last hours.

lyrics

Above the Acropolis
The sky's as blue as blue can be
While down below the hill
The people fill the streets of the city

I'm glad you're with me
I'm glad you're with me here
I'm glad you're with me
I'm glad you're with me here
To feel this sun and taste this air together

All the cats are smiling
The statues laying down their heavy loads
And all the mopeds singing
As they kiss the road

At the museum
We saw spears and pots and jewelry from old tombs
But none of those ancient treasures
Was half as interesting to me as you

I'm glad you're with me
I'm glad you're with me here
I'm glad you're with me
I'm glad you're with me here
To feel this sun and taste this air together

All the cats are smiling
The statues laying down their heavy loads
And all the mopeds singing
As they kiss the road

All the cats are smiling
The statues laying down their heavy loads
And all the mopeds singing
As they kiss the road

Above the Acropolis
The sky's as blue as blue can be

ZeCoop Kalamazoo, Michigan

I love playing music and keep learning new instruments. My songs are in a wide range of styles, from indie-rock to surf, to folk to rock to electronic... I never know. I record at home in a studio I put together in a spare room. I work (via the web) with a lot of vocal/lyric collaborators from all over the world.
