about

This is a song about truly selfless love, and letting that person know what the kingdom they have created for me looks like. Purple beaches and violet skies, heavy storms but none of it matters. The palace is safe, and I’m happy to be in it. I wrote, recorded and mixed this song in less than two hours. I knew the album needed a closer.. something light and beautiful. Some sort of calm after the storm. I sat at the piano, and the music just poured right out. I have a really close relationship with this song. It was written with my baby daughter in mind, as she slept nearby. I tracked everything live, singing the vocals as I played piano, with one microphone a few feet away.

lyrics

Mamma take me to your garden
When my days are over
I can be here
I am older
And my sunsets are counting down
I can never live without
I can never live without
I can never live without
You
I can’t face this storm without you
And these storms are colder now
Violet skies and purple beaches
And the tide is rising
I have never been without
I have never been without
I have never been without
You
Mamma take me
To your palace
When I’m young and bolder
I can live there
Hand in hand with
You forever growing

Yet, somehow, is uniquely Patrick Krief.   ... more
