Souvenirs
Etherwood feat. Zara Kershaw Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Left it all behind
A package by the door
A souvenir for those who find it
Our eyes searching for more

Could it be a home?
Busy streets
But never need the signs
A little piece we found
That made us whole
To help us pass the time

Weโ€ฒll run until it all falls down
And never count the years
One day I'll bring you something more
Than just these souvenirs

Carry me now
Over mountains, over sea
We can run or ride
We can run a mile
With lights flashing by me

Oh weโ€ฒll never count the years
Bring you more than just these souvenirs




Oh we'll never count the years
Bring you more than just these souvenirs

@PokerMuppet

I am so stoked to have been included in this video... Even better as I feature during the initial 'drop' at 0:45
(I'm the one skating in from the left).

Proper quality tune too, very proud to have been involved.

@SuperGraphicsHD

James Frazer where was this shot mate?

@PokerMuppet

SuperGraphicsHD My scene and certainly the majority of the park scenes were shot in Victoria Park in East London. I just happened to be skating around on the day and was asked very nicely to take part so I am not sure about the rest of the video but it looks like it features Hoxton, Hackney, London Fields and the area around the Gherkin office tower in the City.
