A mixture of jiving mpc beats, alongside a myriad of effected keys, guitar, bass and cello is set off by an overlay of soulful female and male vocals.
Soft rolling noise and catchy melodies makes for many formats of ethereal sound scapes with a draw string of gyrating drops that pulls all together to form a collection of loose structured ‘move your mind and feet’ pop songs.
Here Am I
Elder Island Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Care if I'm gone, Care if I'm gone
Driving on, driving on
Care if I'm gone
Here am I alone at last
Here am I alone at last
Here am I alone at last
Funny how the show goes
Funny how it ends
Something in the reverb
And we let it all send in heavy flow
So it's like it like that now
And I say ok
If that's how it goes
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
Here am I alone at last
Here am I alone at last
So it's like it like that now?
And I say, "Ok"
If that's how it goes
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
Say it's ok
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
Care if I'm gone
Care if I'm gone
Driving on, driving on
Care if I'm gone
Care if I'm gone
The lyrics of the song "Here Am I" by Elder Island are evocative and poetic in nature. It depicts the emotions of an individual who is on a journey, physically or metaphorically, and is contemplating the meaning of their existence in the world. The lines "Driving on, driving on / Care if I'm gone, care if I'm gone" may suggest that the person feels insignificant or that their existence might not make a difference to anyone. It also implies a sense of detachment and indifference towards the world and its people.
The repetition of the phrase "Here am I alone at last" reflects the individual's desire for solitude and introspection. They may have reached a point in their life where they want to detach themselves from the chaos and noise of the world and seek solace in their own company. The lines "Funny how the show goes / Funny how it ends / Something in the reverb / And we let it all send in heavy flow" may metaphorically refer to the unpredictability and impermanence of life, and how people tend to let the events unfold without any significant intervention.
The chorus of the song "So it's like it like that now / And I say ok / If that's how it goes / That's how it goes / That's how it goes" suggests that the person has come to accept the uncertainty and unpredictability of life. They have made peace with the fact they might not have control over the events that unfold in their lives, and that their fate might be subject to circumstances beyond their control. Overall, the song "Here Am I" is a lyrical and introspective exploration of the human condition and how individuals come to terms with their existence.

Trying to figure out the lyrics, which I can't find anywhere else for that matter for those looking. I've done my best to get them right nevertheless:
[Move on, uh huh, Move on] x3
[Move on, uh huh, Move on, Move on] x3
Patterned silks blow in the breeze, I see you.
You may cast a shelter with searching.
Sister calling 'come to sail!' ...She don't share.
How the sun flows, ripples through, soft blond hair.
Bands of silver in the sand, it's over.
Facing things you'll understand, when you're older.
When you're older, When you're older. x2
[Move on, uh huh, Move on, Move on] x2
Plain on over love, sailing in honour of, days he's been folded up, in the arms of us.
Safe in the arms of love,
Safe in the arms of us,
[Safe in the arms of us] x4
[Safe in the arms of us,] x4 (continued, layered over as chorus)
[Plain on over love, sailing in honour of, days he's been folded up, in the arms of us.] x2
[Safe in the arms of us,
Safe in the arms of us] x4
[Move on, uh huh, Move on, Move on] x2
