lyrics

Your voice,

It didn’t seem to be such a bad choice

To let myself get written in this

New sound

I wasn’t really looking until

I found

Just what I need

Cause all I need, is such a Serendipity

And I

All I need, is a thing that happened randomly

Tonight

Here I am,

Try’na make some sense of what I tasted when

A story had been told and quite a good one

As I just burned my tongue on a good song

Coming from

Your voice,

Accidently caught in my choice

To let myself get written in this new sound

I wasn’t really looking until

I found

Just what I need

And all I need, is such a Serendipity

And I

All I need, is a thing that happened randomly

Tonight

Is this fate

And how does it end

Cause I got a taste and it’s insane

How I want this feeling to remain

Have it sing on repeat

Again, and again

Cause all I need, is such a Serendipity

And I

All I need, is a thing that happened randomly

Tonight

lyrics

Are your dreams slowly Rising under Horizons

Well the mind you set is what you het don’t lose it

and all the things you are we are so on, it just keeps on going

Would you believe it if I can see it always

Oh, ZIggy Stardust just tell me if I'm getting somewhat crazy

When all the things I see become clear to me

It is called momentum

Now go out and get ‘en

So I drove her just for a little bit longer

By Horizons up the river down the sunlight

And dreams differ when they get a little bit closer

who's to say to, it ain’t worth to, go and break through

the atmosphere in fact I'm just a little bit goner

my Horizons have the rivers in the sunlight

so I drove her just for a little bit longer

Up the rivers by the sunlight into sunset and the sunset’s never Far

I've got something on my mind

it's unforgettable I guess immune to all

that's playing cynical

So bright is the reflection of the bright stars in a Cave man's eye

And I I'll keep on searching for that new sound in a rocking Sky

It's so bright up in my eye yes it's super bright yeah super bright yeah super super bright yeah

So I drove her just for a little bit longer

By Horizons up the river down the sunlight

And dreams differ when they get a little bit closer

who's to say to, it ain’t worth to, go and break through

the atmosphere in fact I'm just a little bit goner

my Horizons have the rivers in the sunlight

so I drove her just for a little bit longer

Up the rivers by the sunlight into the sunset and the sunset’s never far

"A.E.O." is a vibrant and infectious summer anthem that captures the essence of embracing the present moment and finding solace in the simple joys of life. With its pulsating beats and uplifting melodies, the track immerses listeners in a carefree atmosphere, transporting them to a Friday night filled with possibilities. Despite the challenges faced in terms of finances and career, the song's vibe is a testament to resilience and the power of friendship. It encourages listeners to temporarily set aside their adult responsibilities and indulge in the liberating experience of letting go. Inspired by the Dutch phrase "Tis ni mis," which translates to "it's not so bad after all," the track embodies a collective celebration of life's imperfections and the beauty found in embracing the present moment. "A.E.O." serves as a reminder that, even in the midst of life's uncertainties, there is always room for joy, connection, and an unforgettable summer party.

lyrics

Moon lid sky

I’m dazed

I’m phased

I’m feeling good this way

grownup stuff has come to leave me alone

Mice can dance now

that the cats are gone

opened up my doors

time for good fun

only got beer

so bring some rum

take-out a bowl for the chips

take out the sauce for the dips,

Cause, It’s like this

Yeah it's like

this is great

It’s cool

It’s bliss disguised

In something

Not to tight

In Dutch its

Tis ni mis”

Which means like

This is nice

Okay, not bliss

That's right

But let's keep it at that

Tonight!

“Ah eh oh eh”

“Ah ah oh eh”

We’ve been grinding all week

To stay on a streek

I gotta have a little cold break from the heat

Cold break to the beat

Cold sauce for the meat

now get a drink

take a seat

And while I know that time is valuable

Only 4.8K weeks to go

“Nanah Nanah Nah” ‘till the end

It’s time to pretend that

Cause, It’s like this

Yeah it's like

this is great

It’s cool

It’s bliss disguised

In something

Not to tight

In Dutch its

Tis ni mis”

Which means like

This is nice

Okay, not bliss

That's right

But let's keep it at that

Tonight!

“Ah eh oh eh”

“Ah ah oh eh”

Friends are gone

Now I’m home all alone

Forever staring at the norming sun

This is where and how it all began

(super cool intermezzo)

“Ah eh oh eh”

“Ah ah oh eh”

lyrics

Lately, my heart don't beat the same

My skies have clouds

But they don't give me the rain

Well, my house is on fire

With smoke on the roof

The whole town’s watching

And so are you

It got me

on a cloud now

Walking on a cloud now

Yeah,

Walking on a cloud now

Walking on a cloud now

Lately, my grit has been in vain

I've come to fall

But I can’t get up again

Now, my eyes are shadowed

And I know it’s a proof

That the whole town’s watching

And so are you

It got me

Walking on a cloud now

Walking on a cloud now

Yeah,

Walking on a cloud now

Walking on a cloud now

You got my

Walking on a cloud now

Walking on a cloud now

Yeah,

Walking on a cloud now

Walking on a cloud now

And I see you around

When I look into my hands

There’s a smoke coming down

And my heart is burning

I am lost, and I’m found

It goes on and on again

Like a song with no sound

That you keep on playing

Keep on playing,

Keep on playing baby,

keep on playing

Walking on a cloud now

📖 Biography

Kids of the Elephant (KOTE) saw the light of day in 2021 in Brussels (BE). The band is an international mix of musicians born from the mind of front man William Declerk (aka William Clarx). After graduating in medicine, he decides to specialize in music. Med tech grinder by day, soul star by night, William uses his talent for warm rhythms to stitch the funky and juicy guitar riffs together. He writes, records and produces all the songs in his bedroom studio. On stage, the band turns this into a danceable performance that looks like Parcels french kissing with Ultrasonic 7. Kids of the Elephant heals the soul with carefree funk pop and feels like a natural high that you need after a long day at the office.
