Steve Lawson Kundabuffa is less a band, more an approach to music making - curious, experimental, ever nudging forwards and finding new ways to be funky. Massive respect to Andy, Theone, Jack and new addition Grace ♥️ Favorite track: Dancing with Shadows: featuring Grace.

Take the box 02:44
Your neighbors were screaming I don't have a key for downstairs So I punched all the buzzers hoping he would be there And now my head's hurting You say I always get my own way But you were in the shower when I got there And I don' wanted to stay, but I got nothing to say You were so beautiful before today And then I heard what you say'man that was ugly The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas Put it in the box, put it in the box Frank's in there and I don't care Put it in the box, put it in the box Just take it Take the box Take the box I came home this evening and nothing felt like how it should be I feel like writing you a letter but that is not me'you know me Feel so fucking angry, don't want to be reminded of you But when I left my shit in your kitchen I said goodbye to your bedroom it smelled of you Mr False Pretence, you don't make sense I just don't know you But you make me cry, where's my kiss goodbye' I think I love you The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas Put it in the box, put it in the box Frank's in there and I don't care Put it in the box, put it in the box Now take it Take the box Just take it, take it Take the box And now just take the box Take the box

So empty like sky Without any sun Lotus Blossom, don't cry You and I were meant to be one And though we're apart It won't be for long I come to you In my song So happy we two Like sparrows in spring Lotus Blossom, it's true Me and you like bow upon string I live for the day My journey will end So I can touch you again And in my dream You are always there with me A Tahitian fantasy... But then the film just breaks And I wake... Lotus Blossom! So empty like sky Without any sun Lotus Blossom, don't cry You and I were meant to be one And though we're apart It won't be for long I come to you In my song

They say there's a tree in the forest A tree that will give you a sign Come along with me to the Sweetheart Tree Come and carve your name next to mine They say if you kiss the right sweetheart The one you've been waiting for Big blossoms of white will burst into sight And your love will be true evermore They say if you kiss the right sweetheart The one you've been waiting for Big blossoms of white will burst into sight And your love will be true evermore

about

'Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the Angelic
Orders? And even if one were to suddenly
take me to its heart, I would vanish into its
stronger existence. For beauty is nothing but
the beginning of terror, that we are still able to bear,
and we revere it so, because it calmly disdains
to destroy us. Every Angel is terror.'

from 'The Duino Elegies' by Rainer Maria Rilke
