The band's sound may be familiar to those who have listened to José González’s critically acclaimed solo records, with organs, synths, and drums featured alongside his nylon-stringed guitar and distinctive voice. The songs are often dynamic, melodic and shadowy, with a remarkable sonic approach that is simultaneously intimate and atmospheric.
Rope & Summit
Junip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got our rope and summit
But we need to wake up
Baby wake up
Unmasking your fears
One by one see them disappear
Into the fog down below
As long as you don't fall
Still in the quiet morning breeze
Swaying gently in unsuspecting dreams
Clues of a gathering storm
It's time to wake up
Time to move on
The lyrics of Junip's song Rope & Summit are haunting yet inspiring. At first glance, it seems to be about climbing a mountain and reaching the summit. However, the song is a metaphor for life's challenges and the pursuit of personal growth. The "rope and summit" refer to the tools and goals we need to move forward in life. Despite having them, the singer urges us to "wake up" and start living.
The next lines "Unmasking your fears, one by one see them disappear, into the fog down below" suggest that overcoming fears is the first step towards personal growth. The singer urges us to look within ourselves and confront our fears, one by one until they dissipate into nothingness. The line "Slipping is fine, as long as you don't fall" refers to the idea that making mistakes is a natural part of growth, and it's okay to falter as long as you don't give up.

Ich könnte dir einiges empfehlen, zu dem man entspannen kann oder das zumindest so gut ist, dass man sich nicht entspannen will!
Kate Bush - Never for ever
Kate Bush - The Kick Inside
Kate Bush - 50 Words For Snow (sehr entspannend, wie ein Soundtrack zu einem Thriller in Alaska oder so)
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Ghosteen, Skeleton Tree, Push The Sky Away (eigentlich sind alle Alben gut, die früheren sind halt etwas Punk/Gothic/Bluesrocklastig und sehr düster, wie etwa "Murder Ballads", "Let Love In", "Henry's Dream", "The Firstborn Is Dead", "Your Funeral...my Trial" oder "Tender Prey", aber sie sind einen Versuch wert!)
Dead Can Dance (eigentlich auch alles, vor allem aber "The Serpent's Egg", "Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun" oder "Into The Labyrinth". Die Sängerin hat eine wahnsinns Stimme und singt in einer eigens erfundenen Fantasiesprache, also es ist nicht für jeden was.)
außerdem noch:
Genesis (die Peter Gabriel-Ära: Selling England By The Pound, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway)
Pink Floyd (die ersten Paar Alben kann man sich getrost sparen, das erste "gute" ist "Atom Heart Mother", aber ab "The Dark Side Of The Moon" kommen nur noch geniale Alben)
Fleetwood Mac: "Rumours", "Mirage", "Tango In The Night"
die bisherigen vier Alben von Florence & the Machine
jetzt wäre ich so langsam am Ende. Ich hoffe, irgendwas hiervon gefällt dir!
