Story Behind The Song

Dave wrote this song while working on the concept of the album. He needed a song to segue between the first and second half of the records. When they tracked the drums, the song sounded like something you would hear in a cheesy planetarium show. Dave took the drum tracks home and wrote an entirely new song on top of the pre-exisiting drum track.

Song Description

"The Bosom and The Pool" is a concept album by Dave Christensen. In this chapter, the narrator has emptied out his soul and has walked away from the party life but does not know where he is going next. Feeling empty, he contemplates nothing. In the midst of his thoughts he realizes that the vastness of nothingness can hold joy and positive things. At the end of the song he realizes where happiness lies: In the arms of his soulmate.

Lyrics

NOTHING

THE JUKE BOX FADES INTO NEON HUM
EVERY NIGHT THIS ROUTINE GROWS DUMB
NOTHING HAPPENS HERE ANYMORE
JAM A STONE IN THIS REVOLVING DOOR

I HIDE FROM THE SUN CLOSING THICK DRAPES
COMFORTERS BURYING MY FACE
REACHING FOR THE PHONE TO FEED MY NEED
FOR OBLIGATORY APOLOGIES

NOTHING
NOTHING

THE BOSOM OF THE UNIVERSE BRINGS ME HOME
TO NOTHINGNESS TO WHICH I BELONG
MOMENTUM OF THE LAVA LAMP HAS SLOWED
SITS AS A GHOST MOLDED FROM SUNSETS
GLOWING RED ON MY WINDOW
THE MEMORIES OF BUMS, BUSSES AND GULLS
MIGRATED FROM THE COMPLICATED BLUR
TO THE SIMPLE FASCINATIONS OF THIS WORLD

THE GRASS IN MY BACKYARD IS JUST AS WET
AS AN EARLY MORNING CITY PARK BENCH
I?M GATHERING MY ENERGY FROM THE LIFE
OF THE MOON WHICH IS BORROWING ITS LIGHT
THE SUN, A COUSIN OF THE STARS
WHICH KEEP IMAGINATIONS LARGE
WHICH KEEPS INSPIRATION FLOWING ON
IN THE PERMANENT BARRAGE OF GOINGS ON
EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING, HERE WITHIN THE SPHERE OF NOTHING
THAT EXPANDS EVERYWHERE

I?M DREAMING OF A MESS OF TANGLED BLONDE HAIR
WET FROM THE DANCE, TOTALLY AWARE
OF EVERY BEAT, EVERY GLANCE
EVERY INCH OF LIFE THAT SHE CAN GRASP

GRAB ME, HOLD ME
HOLD ME WHILE I SLEEP
I WILL SLEEP SINCERELY
IN YOUR HEART?S SIMPLE NEEDS
