I Can Hear The Grass Grow EP

by Stay

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Stay are back on the Fruits de Mer label after far too long away and they have recorded their take on The Move's classic sixties song, 'I Can Hear The Grass Grow' exclusively for this release; they combine it with a new mix of 'Get Going' from their latest album - Supergrass meets Oasis in Barcelona?

    "I Can Hear The Grass Grow" was originally released by The Move in 1967. The song keeps the hallucinogenic feeling of the original, but Stay crank up the psych element with some 12 string guitar experimentation; the song has been mixed and mastered by Latin Grammy award-winning producer Roger Rodés.
    "Get Going (UK Version)" is a pounding slice of glam/psychedelic rock extracted from Stay's latest LP "Old Sounds Of Modern Music" (Magic Mountain Records, 2021), but remixed by Roger Rodés. It was recorded during a series of pandemic sessions to encourage listeners to stand up and fight for their lives and rights after months of strict restrictions in Spain.

    Includes unlimited streaming of I Can Hear The Grass Grow EP via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

See the people all in line I'm thinking they look at me Can't imagine that their minds Are thinkin' the same as me I can hear the grass grow, I can hear the grass grow I see rainbows in the evening My head's attracted to A magnetic wave of sound With the streams of coloured circles Makin' their way around. I can hear the grass grow, I can hear the grass grow I see rainbows in the evening Can't seem to puzzle out the signs My senses form a micro line Get a hold of yourself now baby See I need you to help now baby Get a hold of yourself now baby Put your head down to the ground And listen to your mind If you can't spell what you found I know that you're not my kind I can hear the grass grow, I can hear the grass grow I see rainbows in the evening

Can you feel the pain if you never come up? Can you feel the love in working so hard? Got a bad soul, I ain't got no smile Feeling empty really deep inside Got no reason just to keep alive Waiting for my rights You better go and fight Get going now! Never try to find the meaning of life Everything you need it’s all in the mind Got a bad cold 'cause I work all night Feeling empty really deep inside Got no reason just to keep alive I’m waiting for my rights You better go and fight Get going now!
3.
I know you can’t hear me, even though, you're right here everyday I know you can’t feel me, babe you know, I’ll be here anyway I know, you’ve been lying, most of the time, I feel like I’m dying I don’t know the reasons turned you this way, so cold You tear all my dreams down, you locked me away (and I) still have no place now, I don’t know why I must feel all alone, and so low I’ll keep on trying, I can wait for you, but it means pain I’ve seen you crying, and I feel the same Waiting to fall, hiding my face, I’ll fade like the moon , someday Everyone lies, making me feel so down I know you can’t hear me, even though, you're right here everyday I know you can’t see me, even though, you're not blind nor away I know you can’t feel me, babe you know I’m still your hideaway I know you can’t hear me, but babe you know, I’ll be here anyway

What I’m thinking I can’t hide You think I am another friend and my heart cries Got a feeling deep inside You make my day, with all your grace, but your face lies And I know my way of loving And this song is out of time But you kissed my lips and I got the kicks Keep me warm at night I can dream, all the way, all night and I’ll keep keep trying, even lying, ‘till my heart gives up I’m still thinking and I can’t lie You think I am just another man, with your snake eyes Got a feeling deep inside, But he takes my place, with all his grace, God I think I’m gonna die
5.
Looked out the window - told me: what do you see? A great deal of nothin’, all just dull and me. Hear people laughing madly, it don't stir a thing See couples kissing they all seem the same thing All yes they all sing the same song ‘Cause I need your smile to wake me up in the morning babe I want you girl to drag me out of bed I need your smile to wake me up in the morning, yeah Cause you make me feel alright Here we're waiting long for our promised land This ain't no graceland but I won't complain Don't waste your precious time in what it should be This ain't no american dream so you might go and see What is there for you and me

Stay were one of the first bands to record for Fruits de Mer, back in 2008, and played at our first gig as well as a Dr. Sardonicus festival.
