Transpose was recorded in the studio with producer Eric Palmquist (The Mars Volta, Wavves, Trash Talk) and serves as a prelude to the band’s debut full-length slated for 2014. “The writing and recording process is always exciting, because it’s constantly changing and unique to each song. Inspiration comes and goes as it pleases, so a night when a song gets written is a very good night,” says Christo. Comprised of four tracks, Transpose flows effortlessly from start to finish showcasing the band’s stadium ready anthems and undeniably catchy hooks. “Music has the ability to evoke certain feelings in people, a way that not much else can. The pairing of words and sounds can be an extremely powerful tool, when done right. I think the ultimate goal for this band is to make music that causes people to really feel something.”
Aside from writing a record, Bad Suns’ 2013 was a busy one, complete with multiple CMJ showcases as well as sharing the stage with the likes of The 1975 and Vaccines with no signs of slowing down any time soon.
Swimming in the Moonlight
Bad Suns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't mind, undressing 'til there's nothin' left
I feel the fire, it's comforting, it lights you up
I see everything I need right here and
Now we're swimming in the moonlight
Here outside, it's just you and I
It's crystal clear as we disappear
Swimming in the moonlight
Though we're moving quickly it feels I've waited all my life
Until this moment I'd only dreamed of paradise
For hours without a single word, we hold on tight
If nothing's perfect, you and I are nothing tonight
Now we're swimming in the moonlight
Now we're swimming, swimming in the moonlight, yeah
Here outside, it's just you and I
I couldn't love you more if I tried
It's crystal clear as we disappear
Swimming in the moonlight
Here outside, it's just you and I
I couldn't love you more if I tried
It's crystal clear as we disappear
Swimming in the moonlight
You have no clue how gorgeous you are
Thank God, oh
In a time when nothing's right
You shine a light
You're my everything, everything, everything
Here outside, it's just you and I
I couldn't love you more if I tried
It's crystal clear as we disappear
Swimming in the moonlight
Oh yeah, aw
Here outside, it's just you and I
I couldn't love you more if I tried
It's crystal clear as we disappear
Swimming in the moonlight
You have no clue how gorgeous you are
Thank God, oh
You're the moon, my blue lagoon, my favorite tune
Everything, everything, everything
