Smoke In The Limousine

John O'Connor thumbnail

John O'Connor That voice is a trip all on it's own. Pearl takes you to her place where nothing is real, and you just don't want to leave.

Anton Baker thumbnail

Anton Baker Dreamy & ethereal, with the vocals floating over Beatles- sounding strings. Heard it live acoustic & loved it, but wasn't prepared for this! Another gem! Just keep 'em coming, Pearl. Favorite track: Smoke In The Limousine.

about

Smoke In the Limousine, like a tarot card spread or a palm reading, speaks of our past, present and future, as well as the conscious and subconscious interpretations we project onto all three states of time. And just like these traditional forms of divination, it doesn’t speak in absolutes, leaving unclear “golden hazy dreams” loosely defined, projected from the liminal space of cloudy rooms. Envisioned “smoke and mirrors” inside limousines that both promise grandeur and luxury, but also may not be all that they initially seem to be - if they ever even come to be at all. Still, we find ourselves hanging onto hope for the future, even if it may turn out to be entirely illusory, “who’s to say it’ll never be…”

lyrics

Dragging my heels
Spinning wheels, counting time
Floating sheen upon the silver stream

Glass on the pond
Thinking of tomorrow and beyond
Spectres linger in a cloudy room

Who’s to say it’ll never be
Till the day we are free
Just keep it inside your mind
There’s a world over your shoulder
And each day you’re getting older
Don’t get left behind

Future I’ve seen
Glowing like a golden hazy dream
Smoke and mirrors inside the limousine

Who’s to say it’ll never be
Till the day we are free
Just keep it inside your mind
There’s a world over your shoulder
And each day you’re getting older
Don’t get left behind

There’s a world over your shoulder
And each day you’re getting older
Don’t get left behind

There’s a world over your shoulder
And each day you’re getting older
Don’t get left behind
