Soak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I watch you fall asleep
In a pool I cool my heels
And watch you fall asleep
Like the flowers in spring
I know love is a seasonal thing
But in the summer of our heart
There's a place beyond a river
Will you grace the morning weather with me?
With me?
On the grass behind the goal
I trace your constellation of moles
Until the clouds close
And it's chilly round the pole
Only winter, should we part
Will succeed you in my heart
In the day long dark
We can face the fading light together
If that's alright with you
With you
Spirit ascending, be never ending
Like the sun and moon
The opening lines of Soak's "Country Air" paint a serene, pastoral scene that serves as a metaphor for love. The singer is surrounded by a "golden summer field" and watches their partner fall asleep while cooling their heels in a pool. There's a sense of transience too, as the singer knows that "love is a seasonal thing," but they find comfort in the fact that, for now, they're in the "summer of our heart." There's also a sense of invitation as the singer asks their partner to join them in "a place beyond a river" and to "grace the morning weather" with them - the implication being that they're offering a deeper, more committed relationship.
As the song progresses, there's a shift in tone as the singer describes tracing their partner's constellation of moles while lying on the grass behind a goal. It's an intimate moment, but there's a sense of melancholy too, as the clouds close in and it gets chilly. Winter, the singer realizes, would only make them part, but they hope to "face the fading light together" if their partner is willing. The song's final lines, "Spirit ascending, be never-ending/Like the sun and moon," suggest that even if their love story has an ending, it will still be a part of an eternal, ever-renewing cycle.

In a golden summer field
I'm in a vibrant summer field, observing your tranquil sleep
I watch you fall asleep
I see you peacefully dozing off
In a pool I cool my heels
I'm chilling in a pool, letting the water lower my temperature
And watch you fall asleep
As I relax, I continue to witness your slumber
Like the flowers in spring
Just as flowers bloom and wilt cyclically with the changing seasons,
I know love is a seasonal thing
I'm aware relationships can have their highs and lows based on external factors
But in the summer of our heart
Despite the aforementioned transience of love, there is still a pleasant warmth present between us
There's a place beyond a river
There's a spot across a watery expanse
Will you grace the morning weather with me?
Would you like to experience a pleasant morning climate alongside me?
With me?
Will you come with me?
On the grass behind the goal
By the playing field, among the grass,
I trace your constellation of moles
I examine the cluster pattern of your beauty marks
Until the clouds close
While it's still bright and enjoyable out,
And it's chilly round the pole
It's starting to get cold and icy up north
Only winter, should we part
When the season changes and we're not together anymore,
Will succeed you in my heart
I'll still carry the memory of our connection with me
In the day long dark
When daylight is scarce
We can face the fading light together
But currently, we can mutually tackle the dimming daylight
If that's alright with you
As long as it's also okay with you
With you
Just to confirm I include you in this impending experience
Spirit ascending, be never ending
I hope your soul continues upward and never ceases
Like the sun and moon
Much like the cyclic nature of celestial bodies,the ebb and flow of our relationship will persist

So many of these soundtracks have constant references to moomin and snufkin, even when the scene they're played in has nothing to do with them. The music be emblematic of moomin's thoughts, which would mean that moomin is often thinking about snufkin during these entirely unrelated moments.
holy frick, gutsy. either you're completely oblivious, or you're deliberately pulling snufmin fans' hearts into ribbons. I'm gonna have to go with the latter, given that the moominvalley team are very clearly passionate about the show and have most likely been a part of the community at some point. And given that the literal 3rd image you get when searching up moomins on google is a picture of moomin and snufkin, it's very likely that AT THE VERY LEAST, Gutsy is purposefully appealing to the snufmin union out here.
