Glass Apple Bonzai synthesizes chords of textured voltage, punctuating them with beats from a forgotten future. Hello Moth's hook-laden vocal arrangement soars across this retro landscape with lyrics to remind you of the ecstatic power of night.
The much-loved original version of the song has achieved cult status in the year since its debut at Terminus Festival 2018. See the accompanying music video here: youtu.be/xiOMqEyYqnc
lyrics
I'm off my path again
I didn't see it bend
I saw the lights and then
I fluttered off to them
I’ll try to make it right
I’ll find the way I can close this
Up like a maiden flight
Down to the bones of my motives
Ooo, they're breaking away like violence
And when I try to defend
Ooo, they break anyway like I've been
And now I'm calling it
There could be an answer for this
Like an equation I don’t know
Even if I just ignore this
Everything comes before it
Goes away and after it's gone
Like an angel's faith that questioned the dawn
There's a lucid dream to guide us along
Through the clear of night to where we belong
Oh oh oh oh (oo oo)
Oh oh oh oh, found my way tonight
Help comes from darkness then
Lights can't distract us when
We close our eyes to see
That every path leads to mystery
Ooo, they're breaking away in silence
And when I try to pretend
Ooo, they break anyway like I've been
And now I'm calling it
There could be an answer for this
Like an equation I don’t know
Even if I just ignore this
Everything comes before it
Goes away and after it's gone
Like an angel's faith that questioned the dawn
There's a lucid dream to guide us along
Through the clear of night to where we belong
Oh oh oh oh (oo, oo)
Oh oh oh oh, found my way tonight
Oh oh oh oh (oo, oo)
Oh oh oh oh, found my way tonight
Couldn’t find my way home by the light of day, the light of day, oh oh oh
Couldn’t find my way home but now it’s night again, it’s night again
And now I’m calling it
There could be an answer for this
Like an equation I don’t know
Even if I just ignore this
Everything comes before it
Goes away and after it's gone
Like an angel's faith that questioned the dawn
There's a lucid dream to guide us along
Through the clear of night to where we belong
Oh oh oh oh (oo, oo)
Oh oh oh oh, found my way tonight
Oh oh oh oh (oo, oo)
Oh oh oh oh, found my way tonight

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved Callum Gray
