lyrics

Quiet by a river in the middle of June
I lost my virtue in the weeds
As through the water calm & clear
The Summer King he Called to Me

He took my hand and pulled me down
And in a voice like Spring he said
“Leave your cares on the mossy floor
And with me lay on the river bed”

I will not see Autumn’s fire,
No more shall I fear the frost
I shall slake my sweet desire
Lovelorn, fearless, I am lost

A hyacinth scepter and a river birch throne,
Spatterdock Tobacco in a Dutchman’s pipe
A firefly procession and a bullfrog choir
A Summer rain on our Wedding Night.

about

The Forgetmenauts Berkeley, California

The Forgetmenauts weave folklore and mythology into a strange, fresh, and rich soundscape. Their musicality is orchestral, folksy, alternative, and punk all at once. Their lyrics spin old tales and new into exciting and poetic songs that weave together love and queerness, longing and revenge. Come for the Marriage of Bigfoot and Mothman, stay for the Gay Werewolf Murder Ballad. ... more
