about

Another track from Loomings' first album, "Everyday Mythology" (Altrock Productions).
This one was first conceived as an "experimental funk" song but it also includes a rather "punkish" interlude.
The lyrics are mostly silly onomatopoeia, except for the part about school year reminiscences sung by Ludmila...
Enjoy!

lyrics

In a Black Key


In a black
In a black key
I found a tune and then
I thought the key could (why not?) Be blue
Could the black key
Become blue?
Could it?
Yeah, why not?
Blue
Could the key?
Yeah, it could
In fact it can
It
the key Be Blue
Make a black key blue
Unlock don't block the tune
No don't block it
When a different hue
Hangs halfway between your heart and soul No don't block it
Turn the key of the tune
Blue black bold flat what you want
No don't block it
Black or blue, could you
Unlock the black and blue?
Go, unlock it
Go, unlock, get the black tune blue
Go, get the black key blue
Unlock your tune, detune
Black key blue
(Make a black key blue)
In a black key I found I could turn the tune to something blue

School years
Just a lot of things you didn't realize You'd miss 'em
And think about 'em year after year It's yesterday but a lifetime ago
Is it nostalgia or desire?
That funny friend of yours
You didn't realize how shiny
Her curly black hair was
You never expected
She'd hunt your dreams for years Many years, she would
Hunt your dreams with her kiss
For many years

Loomings is a one of a kind musical universe of mingled voices and percussions, acoustic and electronic sounds. Our songs follow unpredictable paths: sometimes they emerge from complex compositional strategies, sometimes they’re just driven by the desire to walk through harmonies, vocal arabesques, instrumental unisons and phases. ... more
