From the recording Electric Blue Dandelion - Nashville Sessions
A smooth and flowing composition that floats dreamily while it delivers powerful, cerebral lyrics that contrast sharply with the hypnotic feel of the music. This dichotomy is underscored by the concluding verse and chorus which uses a jazz waltz section with multiple layers of soothing background vocals juxtaposed against an increasingly discordant lyric that starkly highlights the contrast between mood and message. An important, contemporary lyric set to timeless and beautiful music - the instrumental stems could work especially well for sync licensing.
Lyrics
It Must Be Ok (We Starve) - (Nashville Sessions)
Words and Music by Laurie Raveis
Chasing, running, running, running, after what
Grooved in and I’m stuck in a tireless rut
Solace in a stranger’s skin
It must be ok
Surface chameleon
It must be ok
It must be ok
Rationalize, analyze, intellectualize
Blow it away
Grandiose, slightly morose, floating ghosts
Blow it away
Scraping, diving, diving, diving into what
Dressing and hiding a soulless cut
Naked casting online
It must be ok
Shaking, Searching outside
It must be ok
It must be ok
Rationalize, analyze, intellectualize
Blow it away
Grandiose, slightly morose, floating ghosts
Blow it away
He starves
She starves
We starve
We starve
It must be ok
