about

Track written as title song for the short film 'Donne & Motori, Gioie e Dolori' by Leonardo Greco. This track was inspired by a beautiful autumnal day in Berlin and is an uncharacteristically optimistic release by The Romantidote.

The film charts a long-lost encounter, between two souls who had drifted apart and then rediscovered one another. The song reflects the elation of this moment, of young, naive love and a bright, alluring future filled with possibility.

lyrics

// Lyrics:

We stole the last of Berlin sunshine
Squandered it tucked up in your bed
Sweating the sins out of from last night
Picking up pieces of my head

All life's troubles kept at bay
From the mattress where we lay
The future's full of questions but we won't ask them today

We get up and dress ourselves for leaving
You bring a picnic for the park
I love the way that dress hangs off you
Your every word rings in my heart

The blanket's warm and soft
The wine tastes like it's off
We scandalise the neighbours with affections cause why not

All I know is your my baby
All I hope's it's not in vain
All I ask is that you save me
And you share with me, all the joys and pains that life may throw our way

Remember the time we met in August?
The time you gatecrashed on my date
She seemed so boring once you'd joined us
I thought that it must have been fate

It now seems so absurd
Since we said those three wee words
I'd theorise we're star-crossed but you think that's for the birds

All I know is your my baby
All I hope's it's not in vain
All I ask is that you save me
And you share with me, all the joys and pains that life may throw our way

All your suffering
All of your hurt
Lay them down onto me
You're all I'll ever need...

All I know is your my baby
All I hope's it's not in vain
All I ask is that you save me
And you share with me, all the joys and pains that life may throw our way
