about

This track was inspired by images of a decaying Venice, Casanova and a dying love affair. I wanted a rising and falling, water-coming-in-the-windows, glassy, reflective, soundscape and used lots of percussive instruments (inc home-made) to build it up, as well as all the different vocal layerings.

lyrics

The Last Venetian

I love the way copper goes green
I long to live in between
Ripeness and Ruin
I long to be Queen of this glittering scene
I open the window and let the water in

Ah, but it all goes by
And the glass in the light
Reflects the fight
And down falls the night

Surely this can’t be goodbye
I hear the water rise as you stroke my thigh
Surely this can’t be goodbye

I hold your hand and tremble with anger
As you watch and wait
And the city shivers
As the water curls around it like a snake
I need to be your anchor
I need to keep you safe

I love the way copper goes green
I long to live in between
Ripeness and Ruin
I long to be Queen of this glittering scene
I open the window and let the water in

Ah, but it all goes by
And the glass in the light
Reflects the fight
And down falls the night
