Lyrics
[Intro] [soft, breathy, distant] Somewhere beyond the valley... past the radio tower... they say a song still drifts through the trees... [Verse 1] [intimate, storytelling, warm male vocal] I heard it first on a summer night floating through the firelight A melody from somewhere far rolling underneath the stars Nobody knew where it began passed from hand to weathered hand An old refrain carried on the breeze through the pines and sycamore trees [Pre-Chorus] [building, layered harmonies] Salimsalambimbassalabussaladim [Chorus] [full group, harmonized, dreamy with reverb \u0026 delay] Nobody knew just what it meant Salimsalambimbassalabussaladim But everybody sang it then Salimsalambimbassalabussaladim The whole camp joined the sound Voices rising from the hills Until the night came down [Post-Chorus] [ethereal, drifting, pitch-shifted echoes] Salimsalambimbassalabussaladim Floating through the trees Like a signal from another world Riding on the evening breeze [Verse 2] [soft, mysterious] Some swore KennyB walked these roads long before the story was told Others said he never lived Just a song the mountains give A laugh appears... then disappears... A voice returns... from somewhere near... [Bridge] [spoken/sung, close mic, trippy] Salim— Salimsalambimbassalabussaladim The record stumbles then begins again Salimsalambimbassalabussaladim [Chorus] [full energy, lush layered vocals, swelling] The whole camp joined the sound Voices rising from the hills Until the night came down "...KennyB..." "...summer..." "...remember..." [Breakdown] [half-time, dreamy, filtered vocals + modular synths] Did you hear it? Hear it... Hear it... Where did it come from? Come from... Come from... Who was KennyB? Was KennyB... Was KennyB... [Final Chorus] [explosive group harmonies, wide reverb, soaring] Salimsalambimbassalabussaladim Still drifting through the trees Every summer somebody hears That melody on the breeze Salimsalambimbassalabussaladim Still carried far and wide A song too old to disappear No matter how hard time tried [Outro] [gradually fading, distant echoes, nature sounds] Salimsalambimbassalabussaladim... KennyB... Summer... ...remember... .. ... [End]
