about

DESERT LIFE is excited to announce the release of their upcoming single Tangled Light on 1st September 2023. The song is a John Lennon-esque story that questions Love, Life, Religion and our place in the universe. It showcases desert life's unique sound and musical style that blends alt-folk with alternative contemporaries such as Beirut, and The National and is the second release from the highly awaited debut album, Let it all pass, which will be released in October 2023.

Bandcamp listeners get to hear it early!

lyrics

What is love?
they say it’s blind I told  it’s something you can’t see  something you can’t even hold

Who is God?  lives in heaven, I believe  is he someone we made up? someone to help us grieve

What is a soul?
it’s supposed to live on
could it be just a spark?
a flick of a switch and it’s gone
 are we lost on a satellite? spinning around,  in the endless light?
 are we lost on a satellite? love, I know, is only, tangled light
What is fate?
can it be ever changed?
or are we just like string
tied to its resting place

Who am I?
a guy who fell for you
now I’m lost in space
Someone without a clue
 are we lost on a satellite? spinning around,  in the endless light?  are we lost on a satellite? love, I know,
is only, tangled light
 are we lost on a satellite? spinning around,  in the endless light?  are we lost on a satellite? love, I know,  is only, tangled light

are we lost on a satellite? spinning around,  in the endless light?  are we lost on a satellite? love, I know,  is only, tangled light
