Akranes School Festival, 1968

from Reykjav​í​k Suite by The Araby Bazaar

lyrics

five schoolgirls posing; two guitars
what was this moment?
some fifty-three years pass
I meet their gaze

what were they singing?
what were they thinking about?
what made them anxious?
who did they love?

Hjördis, she looks sly as anything; Guðrun, like she might cry;
Svandís looks oh-so pleased with herself; Sigurveig gives side-eye
Dröfn I’m most often drawn to, forcing her weak smile; she frets the C major chord
then me - just standing, looking all these decades with stationary records

five schoolgirls posing; two guitars
what was this moment?
some fifty-three years pass
I meet their gaze

The Araby Bazaar England, UK

A cute cute, in a stupid-ass way.

'weird as helllll... kind of driving hard rock with really intellectual poncy talk-singing. [Likeable] but... deeply odd.' @thesweetsnob, Twitter
