Yesterday and Today
The Field Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why is there you when there are few people around making me feel good?
Why is there me when air is free, some I can see better than I should?
There's only us simply because thinking of us makes us both happy.

I think of you ev'ry way, yesterday and today.
I think of things that we do, all the way, ev'ry day.

Stand in the sea, sing songs for me, sing happily, making me feel good.
Watching your eyes, feeling your sighs, saying goodbyes better than I could.
There's only us simply because thinking of us makes us both happy.





I think of you every way, yesterday and today.
I think of nothing but you, things we do, things we do.

David Gibb

only recently discovered him too but the album 'from here we go sublime' worth a check

Joseph-Zora McBride

One of my favorite all-time electronic artists! No one like him. Minimal and expansive at the same time. He's never had a bad release, whatever that would mean. :)

daniel

LIKE THE SUNSHINE

William Strother

I think the title track's referencing his use of samples from his older songs. I hear at least a few sounds he used in the Sound of Light EP.
