New striking strokes

Following The Art Of Letting Go and Eazy Like Me Belgian singer-songwriter
WOLF VAN WYMEERSCH has his third single of the year out with CAPRICORN.

Wolf: “This song delves into the complex theme of loyalty conflicts, the inner divide
between descendants and parents (us and them) and the broader social division into
‘us’ and ‘them’, (fueled by social media and war).”

Capricorn is a spellbinding slow-mo musing with an ominous sonority produced
by electric bass, sober drums and eerie acoustic guitar play. It creates a trance-like atmosphere with its subtle and low-key orchestration and Van Wymeersch gloomy
vocals. Fascinating score.

One of his best songs (so far). No sign yet of a 2nd album, following
his excellent debut album The Early Years that came out last year.

LYRICS

summertime, mid-July
you’re strolling round the seashore
the manic skies heave a sigh
the crooked lines and

the grave man’s smile soothe your mind
the thrill of life for the next of kin
is it your hope or mine?
for a better life

are you one of us or are you one of them?
are you one of us or are you one of them?

in the fields or in the streets
are you laying low or back on you feet?
what do you choose:
sad happy or a happy sad?
in a better life

are you one of us or are you one of them?
are you one of us or are you one of them?

file under past, classified, it’s understood
not frowned upon but freed from your inner ghosts
to a better life

are you one of us or are you one of them?
are you one of us or are you one of them?
