about

Inspired by a vivid dream featuring the physical manifestation of an internal being unraveling, the song 'Leaves' externalizes the inner thoughts and emotions, visualized as notes and leaves drafted in the wind. The recording is a product of the collaboration between STAV G and producer and sound designer Avi Elbaz. The song was written, composed, and recorded within the span of a day.

It was only natural for Yaniv Glaser to paint it with the New York Fall's foliage in the music video: youtu.be/aKLxV_NkKgw

lyrics

Leaves/ Stav German

When the last rays of the sun
Are picking through the feathery clouds,
My eyes begin to sink.
Skin melts into the motherly soil.
She is setting herself to sleep.
Lulling her internal micro life form.
Lulling all.

Cells are merging with the thin covers of my bodily frame
and start pealing away.
Notes are sent into the world
with fragments of myself:
Memos, lists, hidden thoughts.
“Cherish this moment”, “Straighten your back”,
“Park Slope- just the one slope”, “Be true to yourself”.

To whom it may concern, you may have me.
Whoever I am, whenever I reach you,
In whatever shape and form.
To whom it may concern you may have me.
Whenever, whoever I reach,
You may have.

The pink and orange clouds above paints the scene
As the scribbles of my soul turn into leaves.
I watch as they complete each other
In an enchanting dance, in a trance.
Carried away with the wind

To whom it may concern, you may have me.
Whoever I am, whenever I reach you,
In whatever shape and form.
To whom it may concern you may have me.
Whenever, whoever I reach,
You may have.

She blows them into the open air
And brings new sketches to unfold.
She brings them my way to breathe in.
Whoever you may be,
What ever parts of you collect at my feet,
Tangled in my hair,
I now have you.
I now have my own.
