should i go there?




MOONLANE GARDENS
Castro-Fundales, Orange and Lemons

There's a place where the moon is under the sea
There's a place where the sun's inside a cup of tea
There's a place you can go where no one else has been but me

There's a man on his throne who thinks the world's his own
He would live, he believes he would never be alone
He would dine, he would wine but no one else is there but him

Chorus
Welcome to the garden my friend
This is where your broken heart's mend
Come into the garden my friend
Don't be scared to hold my hand
This is where your loneliness ends

There's a girl in the sky she's laughing as she cries
She is one with the world and she never wants to die
There's a song she would sing that no one understands but her

There's a child who's awake every night and every day
Not a care in the world not a problem what he says
There's a game he would play and he wanted all of you to stay

There's a thought in my head that never goes away
There's a time in my life that is better than today
There's place I would go where no one else has been but me

repeat chorus

This is where your loneliness ends

Moonlane gardens, moonlane gardens
How do we get there (how do we get there)
How do we get there
How do we get there (how do we get there)
How do we get there

lahahahahahahaha
he's the key

(and the key)

lahahahahahahaha
here with me

moonlane gardens
moonlane gardens
moonlane gardens


I just love this song. The song is never a direct suggestion of escapism; it is concretely a device of lighting up the smiles that are always hidden caused by anguish and exhaustion. Magic here, in itself, is real. The song has the sense of going away, leaving, and renouncing all pain and hatred, then plunging into a magical world of children playing, of kings, and of beautiful gardens. Basically, as what the song incessantly said, this is a place where our loneliness ends.

But how do we get there? Give me the key.
Where is this garden? Tell me…
for it is where my loneliness ends.
