Little sister, playing hide-and-seek even though mama told you I’m really gone
If you miss me, sneak a peek at my diary or read the peek-a-boo sky that lights the night
I’ll say this once: "Light up the night, stardust"
When it hurts inside, read all the signs, follow
It’s okay to feel down
And just remember, that nothing’s made to last
I know you’re sad, that too will pass, that too will pass, in passing
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la
Little sister, ignore local news
Papers come from trees we’ll never climb
What a joke, they made me look so sad
That bad, bad lake’s okay, it washed my hair
And the waves said: "Light up the night, stardust"
When it hurts inside, read all the signs, follow
It’s okay to feel down
And just remember, that nothing’s made to last
I know you’re sad, that too will pass, that too will pass
That too will pass, that too will pass, that too will pass, in passing
La, la, la, la, la
La, la
In passing, look past the night stardust
(Look past the night)
When it hurts inside, read all the signs, follow
(Read all the signs)
It’s okay to feel down
And just remember, that nothing’s made to last
I know you’re sad, that too will pass, that too will pass, in passing
Light up the night, stardust
(Light up the night)
When it hurts inside, read all the signs, follow
(Read all the signs)
It’s okay to feel down
And just remember, that nothing’s made to last
I know you’re sad, that too will pass, that too will pass
That too will pass, that too will pass, that too will pass
You'll recall all that, ‘til one day, you too will pass
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

I miss this band. I can't believe it's been 11 years since this video came out. I wish it could be reuploaded in HD

I remember when I first watched this video on tv, many years ago. I liked it so much I always remembered it. The lyrics are very particular, and congratulations to the band and the makers of the video

I dedicated this song to my grandma who raised me from birth at her funeral. 5 years later I still say thank you Indica for such a beautiful song.
Luc
Sure she appreciated it very much :)

Man, I wish this community would be more accepting. This isn't metal, it was never labeled to be metal, so don't make hissy fits and just enjoy the music. It's something new, it's kind of cool, nothing spectacular, so you could just stay for awhile and move on without letting the whole world know how upset you are.

Im sorry to tell you this, but everyone is free to like/dislike and comment as they please.
I got a bit disapointed because the first time i heard her voice was in Eramaan Viimeinen, and I expected/hopped for something in the same line.
She sounds nice, but not the same thing.
Also hope you wont get upset with my comment.

If people spent half as much time promoting what they enjoy as they do complaining about what others enjoy, this would be a much more pleasant place to live. Go find something that suits you rather than wasting any more time on something that doesn’t.

@Paulo Coutinho i agree. thats how i found indica also. perhaps they need to make a sister band thats heavyer more like eramaan viimeinen and call it sativa
