about
Exquisitely produced by the extremely talented Mitch French of Black Dog Recording Studio, Live To Be is a happy, feel-good track which possesses a definite healing quality. It encourages us to live life to the fullest because we cannot stop the passage of time.
If country and folk music is your poison of choice, then this song will fill up your cup right from the start. The beautiful rich sound of Levi’s unique vocals, accompanied by the sweetest female harmonies, will fill you with a childish nostalgia, while the bass line rhythm and punchy drum beat will compel you to tap your feet. Couple all of that with the hypnotising resonance of the cello and the spirited, chirpy saxophone and you have a song which is an absolute tonic and will have very broad appeal.
Levi said of the track, ‘Live To Be was written as a self-reminder to experience all that life has to offer, with full acceptance of both its good and bad. Realising that maybe we were never here to fix anyone or anything, but only to accept everyone and everything, for acceptance is the bridge to all of life's divisions. Live to be and life shall become a humble and self-fulfilled experience of the understanding of truth’.
lyrics
Every new day there is a time and place
To learn something new and meet a new pretty face
While the sun passes over our heads
The day moves on
We all get older and I’m so afraid
That my hair might fall or even turn all grey
But then nothing can stop the sun
The day moves on
The day moves on
We get so tired by the end of the day
And we wonder if it’s all worth the pay
While the stars flashing over our heads
The night moves on
Oh, we go to sleep and I’ll dream again
That if we never sin we never know the way
And no, nothing can take the stars
The night moves on
The night moves on
Wherever I go oh, life make way for me
You can follow me
I’ll always live to be
Wherever you go you’ll always see the truth
They can follow you
Oh, we’re gonna live
Wherever I go oh, life make way for me
You can follow me
Oh, I’ll always live to be
Wherever you go you’ll always see the truth
They can follow you
Oh, we’re gonna live
Turbulent indie rock from Levi Fuller & the Library that has the snarl of hardcore and the knotty meter of math rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 13, 2018
