lyrics

Storm moved on now we clear the debris
Bathing in the afterglow redefine free
Redefine identity, redefine me,
redefine utopia we hoping that we gonna see
a time when the debt slave trades close down
when the river runs clean, and we run this town
when the work days are short, weekends are long
when the rent stays cheap, and the words of the song resonate like

We’re all just pieces of the sun
we are all just pieces of the sun
kicking back, our work is done
we’re all just pieces of the sun

The jackhammers sleep, city is at peace
seedlings sprouting, we all find release,
sea breeze, smog dissipating
creating new worlds, now we all levitating
nostalgic, for unknown tomorrow
cracking macadamia, discarding shells and sorrow
close those eyes, stretch them limbs
gets too warm we’ll go for a swim
curry pot bubbling, cardamom and cinnamon
ginger chai, put the kettle on and settle in
honey from the hive, joy to be alive
stoke the fire, watch the world revive

We’re all just pieces of the sun
we are all just pieces of the sun
kicking back, our work is done
we’re all just pieces of the sun

Eroded micro-fragments of retaining walls and skyscraper foundations
wash down the river
with each cycle of the tide
shattered windows disintegrate into grains of sand
and now new coral beds are growing in Moreton Bay
we are writing a new mythology
bower-birding and cross-pollinating
prefiguring revolution

the future is not dead yet.

Rivermouth Brisbane, Australia

Hi, we're Rivermouth
Our vocalist is a cross between a typewriter and a megaphone. Our keyboardist is a classically trained virtuoso mad scientist. Our bassist plays in the Richter scale. Our drummer's great-grandfather was a metronome.

Our music is a blend of spoken word, hip hop, jazz, reggae and excellent chai. Lyrics are critical. We want to tickle cerebra and tug heartstrings simultaneously. ... more
