This song felt as though it came almost in one long thought, but it took about four all night sessions for it to emerge. It is another one that came to me while on a solo musical retreat in Somerset. It is about the feeling of losing the normal sense of self, and features the wonderful HOWL.

Lyrics:
It was interdimensional
It was only the moon and me
It was past pataphysical
It was what set the tune in G
It was long irresistible
Like a thorn in a blossom tree
All was lost, imperceptible
It was nothing if not serene
I wasn’t big
I wasn’t small
I wasn’t anyone at all
It was multidirectional
Wasn’t there to determine why
It was plainly invisible
Like the depth of the blue sky
I was whole, indivisible
But you asked me if you could try
I was no individual
There was not even you or I
I wasn’t big
I wasn’t small
I wasn’t anyone at all
Up above and barefoot
My feet were on the cold ground
I looked a little harder
Life was blooming all around
Undulating order
My ears were bathed in strange sounding tunes
Up above and barefoot
My feet were on the cold ground
I looked a little harder
Life was blooming all around
Undulating order
My ears were bathed in strange sounding tunes
Drop in the ocean
Oh, so benevolent
Plucked from the eyebrow
Of some resplenderment
Tongue tied eloquence
Dropped in the deeper end
Man overboard at sea in bewilderment
Man overboard at sea in bewilderment
Man overboard at sea in bewilderment
Man overboard at sea in bewilderment
Over borders lost in the wilderness
It was interdimensional
It was only the moon and me
It was past pataphysical
It what set the tune in G
It was long irresistible
Like a thorn in a blossom tree
All was lost, imperceptible
It was nothing if not serene
I wasn’t big
I wasn’t small
I wasn’t anyone at all
I wasn’t big
I wasn’t small
I wasn’t anyone at all
I wasn’t anyone at all

My semi verbal toddler was signing 'smile' and 'happy' when she wasn't flapping her hands listening to this.

Cosmo is one of the only musicians I know of that can make 1 minute songs feel like 5 minutes AND 5 minute songs feel like 1 minute.

It's midnight, I'm eating leftover cake while cramming for a bio exam. Idk if I'll pass it tomorrow but at least cosmo is making my late night study session feel interdimensional~

I LOVEEEE the dark fairytale vibes this has. It reminds me of the Much Much How How and I which has always been one of my favorite albums and it’s so whimsical but also a little threatening. I love ittttt

I said this about Does the Swallow, but… This shows me that the talent of Cosmo Sheldrake knows no bounds. Every song he’s put is just as beautiful and well crafted as the last, and yet somehow better than his last masterpiece. Thank you, Sir Sheldrake, for some of the best tunes I’ve ever heard cooked up in my life Bravo! 🎉

God, Cosmo’s songs always make me feel something indescribable. They’re like the deepest parts of the ocean or secret villages in the forest. They take you away to one of these eldritch places and return you in a moment, but a piece of you always stays and beckons for you to join it

I'm floored, stunned, gagged even it really feels like the world is ending, always loved that about your music and this turns it up to 11

Cosmo has an ability to make songs that make me imagine a wise Alchemist uncovering not only the secrets of the world but also achieving deep self realisation.
-
Legit my favorite song of the album now. The drums feel like a giant stomping around!!

Perspective: You have just slipped outside of our reality and are now slowly breaking down conceptually.
