The Captain of the Crimson Kite
A new Golden Wells release has drifted in on bright brass, harpsichord sparkle, and pure technicolor mischief.
The Captain of the Crimson Kite is a full psychedelic flight through glass gardens, yellow bells, velvet trees, and impossible skies. It’s whimsical, theatrical, and joyfully strange in all the right ways, the kind of song that feels like opening a hidden painted door somewhere between a dream, a parade, and a perfect pop chorus.
This one came out of color, movement, and the feeling that music can carry a man somewhere brighter than the world he started in.
“The Captain of the Crimson Kite will take to open skies…”
THE CAPTAIN OF THE CRIMSON KITE WILL TAKE TO OPEN SKIES!
HE HAS A MUSHROOM FOR A HAT AND BUTTONS FOR HIS EYES!
HE FLIES ABOVE THE MARMALADE AND THROUGH THE COTTON CLOUDS!
HE TRAVELS PAST THE HEAVY NOISE AND FAR AWAY FROM CROWDS!
HE SEES A WORLD OF PEPPERMINT AND TELESCOPES OF GLASS!
HE SEES THE VELVET TREES AND ALL THE PAPER MOUNTAINS PASS!
THE WIND WILL BLOW THE BUBBLES IN THE AIR!
THE SUN WILL SPIN THE SILVER THROUGH HIS HAIR!
THE WORLD WILL TURN TO HEAVY LIME AND GOLD!
THE GREATEST STORY EVER TO BE TOLD!
OH! I REACH THE WATER OF THE QUIET SHORE!
WHERE THE YELLOW BELLS WILL RING AND THE WIND WILL NEVER ROAR!
IN THE GARDEN MADE OF GLASS AND THE FOREST OF THE FREE!
THERE IS A HOME BESIDE THE SEA FOR YOU AND FOR ME!
(Ad-lib): HOORAY!
WE RIDE UPON THE BACK OF A CLOCKWORK METAL WHALE!
WITH A BELLY FULL OF MARIGOLDS AND SHINY COPPER TAIL!
WE ZOOM PAST ALL THE CLOCKS THAT CHIME AND PAST THE YELLOW MOON!
AND WE WILL LAND INSIDE A VELVET CUP OF TEA THIS AFTERNOON!
WE FIND THE BOX OF COLORS THAT THE LONELY PEOPLE HIDE!
WE TAKE THE STARRY HEAVENS FOR A PADDLE ON THE TIDE!
THE WIND WILL BLOW THE BUBBLES IN THE AIR!
THE SUN WILL SPIN THE SILVER THROUGH HIS HAIR!
THE WORLD WILL TURN TO HEAVY LIME AND GOLD!
THE GREATEST STORY EVER TO BE TOLD!
OH! I REACH THE WATER OF THE QUIET SHORE!
WHERE THE YELLOW BELLS WILL RING AND THE WIND WILL NEVER ROAR!
IN THE GARDEN MADE OF GLASS AND THE FOREST OF THE FREE!
THERE IS A HOME BESIDE THE SEA FOR YOU AND FOR ME!
Float…
Like a feather on a stream.
Wake…
From a technicolor dream.
OH! I REACH THE WATER OF THE QUIET SHORE!
WHERE THE YELLOW BELLS WILL RING AND THE WIND WILL NEVER ROAR!
IN THE GARDEN MADE OF GLASS AND THE FOREST OF THE FREE!
THERE IS A HOME BESIDE THE SEA FOR YOU AND FOR ME!
(Ad-lib): HOORAY!
