Now that I’m older, the stars should lie upon my face



One of my favourite discoveries of the moment is the new single by Hercules & Love Affair, an uber-hip creation of Brooklyn DJ Andy Butler. With vocals by the very cool Antony of the Johnsons and a throbbing disco beat, this has it all - surely a huge hit in the making....

As a child, I knew
That the stars could only get brighter
That we would get closer
Get closer
Leaving this darkness
Behind

Now that I’m older
The stars should lie upon my face
And when I find myself alone
I feel like I
I am blind

I wish the stars could shine now
For they are closer
They are near
But they will not present my present

I wish the light could shine now
For it is closer
It is near
But it will not present my present
It makes my past and future painfully clear

To see you now
To hear you now
I can look outside myself
And I must examine my breath and look inside
Because I feel blind
