Cosmic Blues is the title track from Shunaji's eponymous third EP.
lyrics
Galaxy it talks to me,
There’s a marking on the table
Inside my mind, echoes, reverbs collide.
No, I don’t understand the way they talk to me
Men, we’re born to die, but if only I could fly
I would live up in the sk-high!
Let me give it to you
Let me show it you
Let me bring it to you
Cosmic Blues
The Akhbar is I read palms like I read stars,
The most hated in the kingdom, I’m a queen
Findom and the difference is abysmal – cinco
That’s the quantity of symbols
I don’t mind if you tag along on my missile
I been on a tip, need more bitches on my mission
Put on your spacesuit, leave your baggage in the kitchen
Vénus or Venùs, we’re the same despite our difference
You can’t interfere with my appearance,
I adhere to the coherence of ancestral wisdom
With a theory to dissect:
We were civilised but now this modern love’s a mess
With our knees to the floor,
No more planet to exploit, so we’re out looking for more
Cause we’re poorer than before, it’s a cosmic metaphor,
To despise what we adore, we’re at peace then we’re at war,
Let me show you what I saw,
You don’t find if you don’t know, mama told me so…
Let me give it to you
Let me show it you
Let me bring it to you
Cosmic Blues
I dream of asteroids and stars,
With no way to describe my heart,
You knew it from the start (you shoulda trust your gut!)
Maybe I will lose my mind,
Trying to find you,
Honey should I waste my time,
Trying to remind you?
Let me give it to you
Let me give it you
Let me show it to you
Let me bring it to you
Cosmic Blues
Let me give it to you
Let me show it you
Let me bring it to you
Cosmic Blues

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
