Esperanza Spalding - To Tide Us Over (mouth) Lyrics

de extrema elegância essa definição da percepção feminina,sobre os benefícios da lingua masculina:"envie palavras(bonitas)para nos ajudar"e "sentir o sabor da pérola" que(ela) tanto quer! belíssima poesia,e obra multimídia...

Maybe your tongue's a ruddy seafloor, silent in its night
Just shy of the constellations you guide by whispers of light
Beneath the surface of sound sayings mirroring their time
What you mean to say burns silent, a star shined
Clear each night above the noisy city in your mind

(Say what?) The taste of pearl in the heart of your mind
(Say what?) 'Round every wound, you just needed some time

Sounding out the shapes now of your most beautiful dreams
The speaker inside you stands to deliver the unseen
Send up words to tide us over, bubbles in the flood
From our new Atlantis, somewhere beneath the sea of blood

I'm diving now to meet you
We can dance beneath the flagless moon

(Say what?) The taste of pearl in the heart of your mind
(Say what?) 'Round every wound, you just needed some time

Finally the tide has come to lick away
Scars all chewed into the land
Rising out the sea, your words shine
Haloing the jagged rocks of splashing man
Chewing scars into the land
Rising out the sea, your words shine
Finally the tide has come

Honey, you are perfect! Such an inspiration to me! Keep dreaming! Kisses- Carina from Brazil

💖♥💖♥💖

Genius anyway :-)

Bristol sound thats what its called

Somebody here likes Martina Topley Bird isnt it?

The beautiful poetry. Then......(2:46...) ohhhhhhh!!!!!! This creation should be played live, loud, and a visual upon a downtown city building!!!!!

You are just amazing and surprising . can't stop listening to your songs!

One of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard 👌

finally the tide has come , you just needed some time

this beautiful

THIS IS MADNESS-BUT ILLUMINATED..

So beautiful, why am i crying?

Another universe...

I pray this medicine helps me to feel worthy of my art. I am extremely anxious and when people share my work I hide. This helps

the symbolism in this video is outstanding. 👍👍

Reminds me for some reason the Aquis Submersus painting from Max Ernst. My brain somehow made this weird connection...

que caos confortável de estar

Is it just me or does she look faded at 3:55 LOL

This makes me high as a kite.

does this remind anyone else of bjork i love it

Yes, it absolutely does!

When you are one with your soul. Exhibit a. Even the colors of the video as the song progress 😩 I wonder where this was shot at so gorgeous🐐

is this bjorkish?

She just has this amazing ability to take you away to another place with her music. It’s just lovely like her ❤️

I can't stop listening to this album - what a treasure !

Agreed! I've listened in its entirety 2x a week for the last 2 months and can't let it go. That's power!!!

This is next level.

i am in awe
i will meet her in New Atlantis

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. I couldn't stop smiling the first time I heard it.

Done such a good job on this song live. It was the most memorable part of the show. So much energy, I was high!

Warum empfiehlt mir Youtube so eine kranke Sch...ße?????

Just saw her perform this live last night in HTown...she killed It!!

Beautiful inside and out! She's so rare and talented. Go see her in concert if you haven't yet.

I could drown inside this.

Adrienne Stapleton yassss that’s exactly how it feels ✨

I already have see you at the bottom to tide us over!!!

UPDATE: I just saw her in concert. No way to describe it. Incredible. This song built and there was a pulsing red violet light that was so intense you had to close your eyes to it and it was hypnotic and I felt fear, I felt letting go I felt peace I felt my being born. I thought of my mother and I cried. Seriously, I felt that. Amazing. Love her.

Kicking myself hard I missed this in DC. I NEEDED to FEEL this song and them chord switches LIVE.

When this song drops around 3:00, it reminds me of something I can't quite put my finger on in composition structure.
...is it Terrace Martin?

Samantha Sethna More like Jonny from RH

Same to me, but i thought of robert glasper. Actualy while writing this comment i'd been trying to find that track in his Black Radio album and you know most of the tracks have something in similar with this one, and still non of them is that exact track i was thinking of. Its also seems to not be terrace martin

This screamed Georgia Anne Muldrow to me on first listen.

"To Tide Us Over"

Maybe your tongue's a ruddy seafloor
Buried in its night
Just shy of the constellations you guide by
Whispers of light
Beneath the surface of sound sayings
Mirroring their time
What you mean to say burns silent as starshine
Clear each night above the noisy city in your mind

(Say what) The taste of pearl in the heart of your mind
(Say what) Round every wound, you just needed some time

Sounding out the shapes
Now of your most beautiful dreams
The speaker inside you stands to deliver the unseen
Send up words to tide us over
Bubbles in the flood
From our new Atlantis somewhere beneath the sea of blood

I'm diving now to meet you
We can dance beneath the flagless moon

(Say what) The taste of pearl in the heart of your mind
(Say what) Round every wound, you just needed some time

Finally the tide has come to lick away
Scars all chewed into the land
Rising out the sea your words shine
Haloing the jagged rocks of splashing man
Chewing scars into the land
Rising out the sea your words shine finally
The tide has come

You just needed some time

Rising out the sea your words shine finally
The tide has come to lick away
Scars all chewed into the land
Rising out the sea your words shine
Haloing

Rising out the sea your words shine
Finally the tide has come

I. NEED. LYRICS. I NEED. LYRICS. I can only make up beautiful babble to sing along for so long

The place where every artist wants to get to and she's already there smokin a joint and waiting for everyone...BTW Miles, Jimmy, Holdsworth, Coltrane and a bunch more are there with her sharing the smoke! Excellent! I'll see you on the 19th E.S. in SF!!!!

Here are the lyrics:
Maybe your tongue's a ruddy seafloor
Silent in its night
Just shy of the constellations you guide by
Whispers of light
Beneath the surface of sound sayings
Mirroring their time
What you mean to say burns silent as starshine
Clear each night above the noisy city in your mind
(Say what) The taste of pearl in the heart of your mind
(Say what) Round every wound, you just needed some time
Sounding out the shapes
Now of your most beautiful dreams
The speaker inside you stands to deliver the unseen
Send up words to tide us over
Bubbles in the flood
From our new Atlantis somewhere beneath the sea of blood
I'm diving now to meet you
We can dance beneath the flagless moon
(Say what) The taste of pearl in the heart of your mind
(Say what) Round every wound, you just needed some time
Finally the tide has come to lick away
Scars all chewed into the land
Rising out the sea your words shine
Haloing the jagged rocks of splashing man
Chewing scars into the land
Rising out the sea your words shine finally
The tide has come
You just needed some time
Rising out the sea your words shine finally
The tide has come to lick away
Scars all chewed into the land
Rising out the sea your words shine
Haloing
Rising out the sea your words shine
Finally the tide has come

Thank you .

@Ascending Synergy Tarot 👑⚔️🔮 No shit!! 🙄🙄🙄
If one doesn't feel like looking them up, here they are. 🦄

@Ascending Synergy Tarot 👑⚔️🔮 "No Shit" meaning thank you Captian Obvious. 😑😑😑

WaterFlame957 what do you make of the lyrical content what does it say to you?

We knew you were already unique but yikes! This is just brilliant! Thank you for the inspiration!

I felt this.

This is beautiful

The beginning looks like waking up from sleep paralysis. Whoa!

I needed this. Asé

Kinda reminds me of king britt to

Ive fully submerged myself in this song. I feel calmness until the rush wave of beautiful music wash over me

That last half could go on forever and I'd be fine with it

Someone needs to loop the second half for like two hours and post it to YouTube.

I swear!!

Ian McGregor all my life actually 🤷🏾‍♀️🔥

Piece0fShit I'm interested to to hear your take. Like hearing different takes on music.

Omg this song is magic!!!!

2:46 and up is LIFE! Album of the year for me...

The whole song but I know what you mean

Conjuring beliefs of love and power through words from the inside pulse. Keep on with whatever this is :)

At 4:30...we have arrived. Thank you. Ms. Spalding🙏🏿

Looks like Esperanza has been listening to some Ryuichi Sakamoto music! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sStp5eY0nn0 (go to minute 4:00)

Word Life!!! Shes almost there!🌈😎

This is so perfect cause all that tension built up in the first half releases once those awesome synths at the end kick in, just like the swelling of words the song is meant to represent.
I haven't fully decided yet but this might be my favourite on the album

It's a hella compelling and beautiful art piece.

my fav is still Lest We Forget - but it isn't even on the album? wow my first listen of her was this - amazing artist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i21b35DtbIQ

oh my god. so inspiring. (side note, was this filmed in Staffa, Scotland?)

Looks like Reynisfjara, Iceland (black sand beach)

this gave me tears of joy and transcendence

Magical! So happy to hear you again.

Ridiculously talented. Soon as I heard it to the end, over and over again, I instantly submitted to the power of the spell.

This is so weirdly beautiful

I feel its energy...much appreciated

Beautiful !!!
