The stories on the album come naturally, with language that is more often felt than understood. That’s because Cabic let the music be his master, listening to demos and walking around his neighborhood waiting for the lyrics to emerge organically around a line or cadence.
This is the offical video for Jape’s song Floating. It was directed by
M&E and D.A.D.D.Y. Floating is taken from the EP “Jape is Grape” which
is due for release on the 19th of November 2007 on V2 records.
No fresh fruit was wasted in the making of this video. All fruit was
diposed of by various supermarket chains.
The truth is that I never shook my shadow
Every day it’s trying to trick me into doing battle
Calling out ‘faker’ only get me rattled
Wanna pull me back behind the fence with the cattle
Building your lenses
Digging your trenches
Put me on the front line
Leave me with a dumb mind
With no defenses
But your defense is
If you can’t stand to feel the pain then you are senseless
Since this,
I’ve grown up some
Different kinda figther
And when the darkness come, let it inside you
Your darkness is shining
My darkness is shining
Have faith in myself
Truth.
I’ve seen a million numbered doors on the horizon
Now which is the future you choosen before you gone dying
I’ll tell you about a secret I’ve been undermining
Every little lie in this world comes from dividing the bible
Say you’re my lover
say you’re my homie
Tilt my chin back, slit my troath
Take a bath in my blood, get to know me
All out of my secrets
All my enemies are turning into my teachers
Because
Light’s blinding
No way dividing
What’s yours or mine when everything’s shining
Your darkness is shining
My darkness is shining
Have faith in ourselves
Truth.
(Yeah)
Yes I’m only loving, only trying to only love
And yes, that’s what I’m trying to is only loving
Yes I’m only loving, trying to only love
I swear to god I’m only trying to be loving
Yes I’m only lonely loving
And yes I’m only feeling only loving, only loving
Ya say it ain’t loving, loving but my loving
I wanna only love til I’m only loving
I swear to god I’m only loving.
Trying to be loving, loving, loving, loving, loving, loving, love
Yes I’m only loving, yes I’m trying to only love
I swear to god I’m trying but I’m only loving
Ya say it ain’t loving, loving, loving, loving, love my love
