about

On the heels of her excellent ‘Mothertime’ EP (a collaboration with Chrome Sparks released in April), Kalbells (aka Kalmia Traver) is back with “Hump The Beach” -- a euphoric love and lust song written for and about the Earth.

“Hump The Beach” was born from a memorable night at the beach this past summer, one in which Kalmia says, “The water and the air was endlessly warm. We’d made a fire and eaten magic mushrooms, and we dove into the water naked to the fingernails.”

“Hump The Beach” celebrates the Earth and “how she catches us in our most challenging moments -- holds us, rocks us, feeds us, guides us, and she tells us what she needs, often through the channels of our own insight and ingenuity.”

lyrics

unrequited love at a stop light
stopped like a king
i know what it’s like
i know what it’s like to out in space
they show us pictures of earth
looks like a nice place

and i know what it’s like to be desperate
to be alone and be banned from your nakedness
and at the same time feel like a king in this
palatial dome of forgiveness

every seven seconds feels like eternity
when i’m floating past earthly proximity
when her valleys fold so far away from me
when her apples fall but i can’t smell them rot
when her oceans push somebody else’s crotch
when i’ve lost the last of my indecent thoughts

that’s how i know it’s time to
hump the beach
hump the b b b b b b beach hump the beach
hump the beach
she can take it
she won’t let you down
she told me personally she’d hold on to you all night long

oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh

quand je pense a toi t’est dans une voile d’eau
qui fait bloquer mes mains toucher ta peau
quand je pense a toi t’est dans une voile d’eau
qui fait bloquer mes mains toucher ta peau
toucher ta peau

quand je rêve de toi c’est dans une nuage de bruit
qui fait bloquer mes mains toucher tes parties
toucher tes parties

that’s how I know it’s time to hump the beach
make out on the sand
the earth will hold your hand
yeahhhhhh

that’s how I know it’s time to
hump the beach
hump the b b b b b b beach hump the beach
hump the beach
she can take it
she won’t let you down
she told me personally she’d hold on to you all night long

i hump the beach
hump the b b b b b b beach hump the beach
hump the beach
she can take it
she won’t let you down
she told me personally she’d hold on to you all night long

oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh

Folk guitar might never get better, or more dissonant, than is achieved by Wendy on this album. Forged in an oven operated under shaky circumstances, this object popped out in the form of a silver pearl. deadite_237
