Blue Foundation - Sweep Lyrics






The floor you walk on is smooth. There is no ground there.
Magic begins with blood. Outside, there are trees,
With concrete under their roots. But I have passed the tombs of kings,
Regaled them with pacing, checked bins for food and wrappings.
I have scoured the seas for miles, cloaked my face with ash.
My fingertips opening, accepting my time.

The dark cylinders of half-smoked cigarettes
For me, I'm your sorrow
Calling in your dreams
For me, I'm your shadow
Howling in the streets

Water chimes in the space between rocks,
Speakers discharge and laughter is in the air,
Glass divides us,
empty bottles
mark the steady sweep of day

Tomorrow, I will walk the streets
And steel myself for the familiar. Your eyes
Will not settle, a hunger. You'd be happier in your grave.
When we meet, share stories, you stretch me. I see,
I see a semi-circle of teeth.

The dark cylinders of half-smoked cigarettes
For me, I'm your sorrow
Calling in your dreams
For me, I'm your shadow
Howling in the streets

    5AM1796 😍😍❤️

    C.... B....

    @Carla B did you enjoy the documentary?

    C.... B....

    5AM1796 Yes I did. I loved it. I felt really bad for her when she cut weight for the fight. Poor Cris... What about you?

    C.... B....

    @Carla B when she dropped to her knees I cried with her 💔 I can't imagine having to do that. I really enjoyed it too. It was nice getting to know her from her perspective rather than the media's. She seems like a sweetheart.

  5. S.... A....

    Tek göz var burada; İblis! İsyan timi birbirini s*kiyor ha? Soundtrack berbat.. müziğin irzina girmişler! Bir zahmet s*ktirip gider misiniz?

  8. E.... ....

    Anyone listening in 2019? ;) lIKe!!!

  9. B.... ....

    Does anybody know about this hardstyle/techno version of this song? Where in the beginning, there is this young girl who talks spooky as hell and at the end of the song the mother comes into her room and aks if anythings allright. (Sorry for my bad english ^^)

    Music like this is true art. Mainstream pop is garbage.

  12. E.... V....

    FANTASTIC. This song is a time machine for me, takes me back to 2011 when I first heard it, but also makes me think about my future as it did back in the day. It's so beautiful that makes me hopeful and happy:)

  13. M.... D....

    This song would've been so perfect for Left for dead.
    Also thank you audfaced for sending me here.

  14. s.... s....

    sounds like that guy from pulp when he whispers on tracks.. very enjoyable

  15. P.... S....

    Still to this day; this is my favourite song. It speaks to me. ❤️

  16. K.... 8....

    Incredible, how this song builds tension

  21. N.... B....

    K.... R....

    Karina Roriz mostly tobias wilner

  26. J.... C....

    Miami Vice (2006)
    Most Visual aesthetic and pleasing Film ever made

  27. M.... M....

    7.40.... ❤❤❤🏁🏁🏁

    M.... M....

    Morten Moe best part of this song ❤

  28. A.... A....

    why in the hell people skip the intro?

  29. L.... M....

    That Violin at the end is everything.

    L.... M....

    It's so damn beautiful. I replay it over and over. <3

    L.... M....

    Cello, not violin. #restingbitchface

  30. U.... ....

    The intro and the outro are the best parts of this song. Honestly if it was just that and the chorus it'd be perfect. The dude just kind of kills the middle section for me.

  31. M.... C....

    Terrible, even Blue Foundation buy into the Watchtime thing.

    M.... C....

    Magi Carp the what?

  32. l.... ....

    Gunz For Hire anyone?

    l.... ....

    yep, i even did submission to whosampled, that Sorrow sampled this song.

  33. C.... U....

    I hear a bit of Massive Attack in here ;)

  36. D.... B....

    HOW DO I DOWNLOADED THIS?

    D.... B....

    Nope. Was it a requirement at your school?

    D.... B....

    well since he's french i guess it sorta was. :P
    Anyway,if you want to download youtube videos you can via clipconverter , just copy and paste the songs link in clipconverter, and it will download it, you don't even need a plugin for it to work. ;)

    D.... B....

    Thank you!

    D.... B....

    Press the top right arrow on this video, then press copy. Then go to chrome, Look up Mp3Juices. Hold down on the search button and then select the word that appears that says
    'Paste'. Itll move down and say the name of the song, and one of the black buttons says download ( on the left). press it and wait until it says on the across the bottom of the screen 'downloaded - Sweep'

    D.... B....

    Buy the CD, place the CD into your computer tray, open with windows media player, click "Burn to computer"

  37. L.... B....

    Love this band... <3 <3

  38. L.... B....

    some parts reminds me on music from halloween movie

    L.... B....

  39. J.... A....

    Great song, reminds me Alan Wilder´s Recoil.

  40. J.... S....

    I love how Michael Mann makes me discover great artists through his films. This appeared in the "Miami Vice" OST, and it reminds me so much of Shriekback's "The Big Hush", another atmospheric track featured in Michael Mann's "Manhunter". Possibly Hollywood's director with most sophisticated music taste.

    J.... S....

    @lallalalalalla Elizabeth

    J.... S....

    He really is 'the Mann '

  41. K.... D....

    Thank you VVC Force.

    Many years ago, I read through the entire Transmetropolitan series for the first time one night with this (for reasons unknown) on loop in the background - permanently burned into my psyche - and I wouldn't have it any other way.

    R.... '....

    That would be the right sentiment at least :)

  48. j.... ....

    this plays when my wife starts goin thru my damn phone

    j.... ....

    philosophersphone lol!

    j.... ....

    Made my day :D

  49. S.... B....

    I love this music, especially when I'm painting.... ;)

  50. M.... ....

    The first time you listen to these songs, and reading those comments, you don't understand how these people get addicted to this music. BUT, after the tenth time you totally understand :)

  51. m.... m....

    I have feeling like this  music never starts and never ends - like  came out notfrom and goes  to the nowhere

    m.... m....

    @mike mikes What a magnificent interpretation. I salute you.

    m.... m....

    +mike mikes Notfrom and Nowhere, these two words make me pay attention to the whole comment. Nicely done. D.R.

    m.... m....

    thats because you clicked 'loop', like me

  52. m.... m....

    brilliant masterpiece

  53. H.... S....

    I love blue Foundation... Just wish I had some of their albums.

  54. M.... ....

    Sounds like from Alice Madness Returns...

  55. T.... a....

    There is no intro. :)

  56. h.... ....

    For the oddest reason, I believe this would make a great main theme song for the book "1984" by George Orwell or the vampire chronicles with one being "Interview with the vampire" by Anne Rice.

    h.... ....

    i did NOT just read that comment while having 1984 on my desk right beside me.. (and constantly contemplating about it) wow.
    i agree now

    h.... ....

    Wow coincidence, am I right?

  57. B.... ....

    i love it. i would like to know more songs like this. if u have any suggests feel free to tell me 

    B.... ....

    Listen to the whole album, Sweep of Days, and their other albums, too. You could try the album "The Ocean and The Sun" by The Sound Of Animals Fighting. As well as Massive Attack, Emancipator, Mr Oizo, Ki Theory.

    B.... ....

    @Bibichdr There Eyes on fire is popular. You might like "Above and beyond"..try it out.

  58. J.... S....

    love dis one :)

    J.... S....

    @meela meherina love dat one. :)

    J.... S....

  59. T.... A....

    Anyone the name of the male vocal please! 

    T.... A....

    Tamara Atanasova i guess it's tobias wilner. Not sure

  60. N.... M....

    this song has been stuck in my head for the past like 6 years... ive finally found its name. Never been so happy a chorous sticks in my head.

    N.... M....

    Haha, I forgot what it was for ages too and couldn't track it down. Just found it again and it's very cool. Merry Christmas! :0)

  61. L.... ....

    I really like this song so much

  62. T.... T....

    The static thing in the beginning is scary.

    T.... T....

    @Timmy Tran your mom is scary.

    T.... T....

    @Siddharth Pandey
    At least she's a great mom.

    T.... T....

    @Timmy Tran Great answer...
    :-D

    T.... T....

    @Timmy Tran says the faceless man...jk jk I'm so sorry XD

  63. D.... O....

    Blue foundation is simply amazing! Every song is just unique and touching as well. Sweep reflects my life personally of the things I have been through in my life. The ups and downs.......but I got to say I've made it through and now I'm a step dad of 4 kids and that just shows that I have an amazing heart as well as you guys in the comments.....not a single negative comment and I gotta say god bless you guys...... blue foundation for life!!!!!

    D.... O....

    Donnie Oneill Congratulations on your family! Blue foundation to me is a symbol for each individual. I can bet this song, along with many others, is a self mirror image for thousands. Blue foundation forever!

  64. W.... I....

    Hauntingly beautiful music

  65. C.... C....

    Shit this is awesome music !

  66. G.... ....

    Oone of my favorites still!

  67. C.... ....

    Is it ironic that I think of Anne RIce's Vampires when I hear this? Lestat, and Louis, and Armand, and all the others? I find this ironic because one of Blue Foundations Best songs(In my Opinion) Was associated with and will forever be haunted by the image of Twilight(Blech)

    C.... ....

    the right answer seems to be "no, of course. what a weird question !"

    C.... ....

    Is there ever a truly correct answer?

    C.... ....

    @Cryogenius333 Maybe yes, maybe no

    C.... ....

    In that case I think you've already decided the correct answer for your original question. ;)

    C.... ....

    Cryogenius333 Twilight was amaaaaazing and the only reason this song is even something is because of Twilight so stfu (its Bleach btw...)

  68. I.... ....

    For me, I’m your sorrow
    Calling in your dreams
    For me, I’m your shadow
    Howling in the streets
