lyrics

MULTITUDE

An anthem for the More-Than-Human world, with a suggestion that it's our relationship with our fellow creatures that makes us who we are.

Be sure to click the video link (while you still can -- though it should qualify as "transformative use" under copyright law :)

With thanks to David Abram's book The Spell of the Sensuous...
to David Mitchell's closing lines in the novel Cloud Atlas...
and to Hayao Miyazaki, esp. for the films Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind and My Neighbor Totoro.

CHORUS

I am not
I alone
We are
A multitude

I am not
I alone
We are
We are
We are

VERSE 1

What is any ocean
What is any sea
But wave upon wave
So many drops
Uncountable

Wave upon wave
So many drops
Uncountable

PRE-CHORUS

We are
We are
We are
I am

We are
We are
We are

CHORUS

I am not
I alone
We are
A multitude

I am not
I alone
We are
We are
We are

VERSE 2

What is any sky in motion
What is any galaxy
But flame upon flame
So many stars
Uncountable

Flame upon flame
So many stars
Uncountable

PRE-CHORUS

We are
We are
We are
I am

We are
We are
We are

CHORUS

I am not
I alone
We are
A multitude

I am not
I alone
We are
We are
We are
