Lyrics:
Floating fireflies
Shimmering in the evening sky
Tiny drops of moonlight
That refuse to land
Floating fireflies
Simmering in the evening sky
Tiny fires hitching a ride
Upon the wind
Wherever you go
Wherever you are
Always keep your eye
On the peripheral life
The world before you
Is a glittering world
Always keep your eye on the peripheral life
Cicadas calling
From the woods
The evening choir
Is warming up
Over by the pond
The bullfrogs chime on in
The white sail
Of the honeysuckle bloom
Sachets in the wind
Floating fireflies
Shimmering in the evening sky
Tiny drops of moonlight
That refuse to land
Floating fireflies
Simmering in the evening sky
Tiny fires hitching a ride
Upon the wind
Wherever you go
Wherever you are
Always keep your eye
On the peripheral life
The world before you
Is a glittering world
Always keep your eye on the peripheral life
Cicadas calling
From the woods
The evening choir
Is warming up
Over by the pond
The bullfrogs chime on in
The white sail
Of the honeysuckle bloom
Sachets in the wind

Cool tune, but I'm glad there is not yet an olfactory broadcasting method, because judging from the album title and the band's website, I imagine it would reek of patchouli.

Never would've guessed this was from Iran as Wikipedia suggests.

It is impossible to listen to this song without tapping your toes and bobbing your head. 😀

Apparently originally formed as Jacob's Trouble before personel changes and name change to Janah

They've definitely listened to a lot of middle eastern music. Not just because of some of the tones, but also how they use those tones, and the breaks.
Great unique sound

And this guy.
Awesome sound.

AAAAAHHHH - I just temporarily broke up with RP, when someone told me to use Pandora. WTF— I had it on for 3 songs and then a commercial came on about Mary Poppins showing at a theatre in Washington, DC and poof I was done with Pandora. Phew, so glad it was just a temporary lapse in judgement!

You got that right. While swimming at night, one would usually end up in the pool this time of year. 3-4 inch beetle with big ol'chompers. It was like a scene out of "Caddy Shack" they way the pool would empty out.
Good times, good times.

In Tucson we had the big iridescent green ones. About an inch long with a three inch wing span. They made this great low buzzing sound as they flew. Used to scare the be-jebbers outta me.
Oh, and my "heat mirror" was about 5 inches in diameter. I would have given my ice cream money for a month for an 11X11. That must have been awesome!

I lived in Tucson when I was a kid (ages 5-9) and we would catch grasshoppers that would be absorbing the evening sun on the concrete walls that lined the property line. We used my Mom's strainer, and put them in mason jars. We then fed them to the dog. That dog loved Grasshoppers, so much protein!

Takes me back, particularly the cruelty of the wingectomy. My Mom used to pay my brother 3¢ for every japanese beetle he extracted from the rose bed. My brother had an 11x11 magnifying pane that he got from the Edmund Scientific catalogue. He'd pluck the beetles from the rose petals, hurl them to the concrete where they wriggled for a moment, dazed from the blunt force, and then zero in on them with the "heat mirror" (his words), and within a second they'd begin to crackle and smoke, for it was a damn big lens. The unique and disgusting smell is something I'll never forget.

If you listen closely, you can just barely hear the tiny, "glink" when the wing breaks off - always sends chills down my spine. . .

The other day I taught my son how to focus a magnify glass on a stick to get it too burn. I was intrigued with how much technique I had to pass on, getting the focus just right, using sunglasses to see the smallest whitest spot, making sure the angle of glass is perpendicular to the sun. Fun stuff. Not sure when he'll try to focus on a bug. He doesn't seem to have the mean streak I had. Had, being the operative word there.
My trick was to focus to the side of the fly and then try to move it on top of them and singe their wings before they could fly. It never worked. Did you every super glue a thread to them and let them fly around on the thread?

OK, I gave this a few listens and I'm sorry but this sits in the bottom of the RP playlist for me.
I gave it a shot and it gets a 2.

This is one of those songs that was interesting the first few times i heard it, but can tell it is slowly losing it's appeal. Plus I am hearing it on regular fm in my vehicle, so the novelty has worn off.
Original yet classic, kind of like the Waterboys' Fisherman's Blues.

This is just sooooo RP, truly eclectic and more than a little weird. Strange melange of sounds in this, which'll take a few listens to figure. Interesting. The Nottingham jury postpones its rating for further reflection...

Yes, seen them several times. For sure the whole place smelled like patchouli. Awesome!
