Elysian Fields is a New York dream pop/art rock band founded in 1995 by co-composers Jennifer Charles (vocals, instruments) and Oren Bloedow (guitar). Their music has been sometimes described as "noir rock", due to its sultry, dark and mysterious inflections, be it sonically or lyrically. The band uses mainly acoustic instruments, predominantly guitar, piano, bass and drums, with the occasional appearance of eastern instruments, classical strings, and subtle electronics, the focal point being the voice of Charles in the forefront.
Surrounding my planet
Arousing my planet
Round, round, and around
Surrounding my planet
Arousing my planet
My heart beats madly like a drum
Beaten chamber, almost numb
It's beating faster and faster
Slow down dear, slow down
Round, round, and around
Flying me forward
Thrusting me far
Round, round, and around
You caught me a star
You can make me if you try
Gently like a lullaby
You dig me deeper and deeper
Go down dear, go down
You are the ink, drawing me
You are the mouth, gnawing me
Yours in the voice, calling me
Star, star
You can make me if you try
Gently like a lullaby
Hold me tight inside your arms
Make me feel just like a star
Like a star
You can find me if you try
Slip into the needles eye
Fold me, hold me like a charm
Make me feel just like a star
Like a star, like a star
Like a star, like a star
