I Sing I Swim Lyrics

When the birds are sleeping
That's when the trees sing
You left your winter clothes
And your teeth marks in my skin

So shake the leaves off the trees
Watch them float down, down the stream
Your son, your daughter swimming in the water

And I miss you, even when you're around
I'm a black cloud sending lightning to the ground

Darling please show your teeth
Just one more dance to help me sleep
Owl girl, cold water eyes
Fill the past with friendly nights

Human skin can be hard to live in
You'll feel better in the morning

(Swim, swim outside the walls)
Wash your hands in the lake
(Swim, swim outside the walls)
You got a heart, light the way

Trails lost in the snow
Make way for winter's eerie glow
And that black rock in your bedroom
I hope you'll climb it soon

In your boat, tied to a tree
I hope you'll find the sea

Throw me a dream please
It's been a dreamless sleep for
Such a long time, such a long time

Sing myself awake
Watch the branches break
No one could ever take your place

(Sing, sing outside the walls)
Wash your face in the lake
(Sing, sing outside the walls)
You got a diamond under your skin

Seabear is an indie folk band from Reykjavík, Iceland. Although hailing from Iceland, they sing primarily in English. Seabear started in 2000 as Sindri Már Sigfússon's solo project and then turned into a band when Sindri was asked to open for The Books in Berlin. Never having performed his songs live, he asked two of his friends, Guðbjörg Hlín Guðmundsdóttir and Örn Ingi Ágústsson, to join him. After some time playing live and practicing together, they both decided to join the band. The current participating members are: Sindri Már Sigfússon, Uðbjörg Hlín Guðmundsdóttir, Ingibjörg Birgisdóttir, Halldór Ragnarsson, Örn Ingi Ágústsson, Kjartan Bragi Bjarnason & Sóley Stefánsdóttir.

Their music is subdued and mellow folk pop, with hints of piano, violin, acoustic guitar and atmospheric vocals, all carefully squeezed through a lo-fi filter.

They released their first full-length album, The Ghost That Carried Us Away, in Autumn 2007 under Morr Music. Sindri also has an solo-artist EP under the name Seabear entitled Singing Arc EP.

Seabear has announced, via their myspace, that they are working on a new album which they hope to release in February or March 2010.

Have now released a new 7" Lion Face Boy/Cold Summer http://www.anost.net/Labels/Morr-Music-Shop/Seabear-Lion-Face-Boy-Cold-Summer.html you can listen to the songs on the same site.
