about

The acoustic arrangement of the single The Northern Star taken from the Isatis EP.

lyrics

I wish I’d write
A poem that would sound bright
And full of light

Maybe I’ll meet
My Fanny in the street
But she remains discrete

Where can you be hiding, O muse?
I can’t compose without you
I refuse to
Today I’m just going nowhere
Why don’t you suddenly appear?
It’s not fair

Why can’t I hear
Your «tender-taken breath»
I’m in distress

Remove your masque
Please, don’t force me to ask
Anyone for love

Where can you be hiding, O muse?
I can’t compose without you
I refuse to
Today I’m just going nowhere
Why don’t you suddenly appear?
It’s not fair

«Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite [...]
No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,»

Where can you be hiding, O muse?
I can’t compose without you,
I refuse to!
Today I’m just going nowhere
Please darling suddenly appear,
Come on, dare!

Show me your green lights
Your northern lights


Words in quotation marks by the poet John Keats.
