about

Making this song gave me the space for pretending that there is no harm in this world, only pure earthly bliss. The lyrics came to me while I was high, in a vivid daydream about being at the center of a loving community of forever young and beautiful people celebrating their carefree existence in harmony with mother nature. I recorded all the instruments myself except for the Cello, which was played by my partner.

lyrics

Let’s be hippies oohh
let’s just lay in the fields
and roll down the hills
jump into a river of love
let it flow
continuously grow
so we can float

Let’s be hippies oohh
and never leave the feeling again
make everyone understand
that all this sorrow
could finally meet an end
with the drop of false pretence

Who wouldn’t wanna be a hippie oohh
see that would be a pity
cause if you took a look outside
you’d see the weather is pretty and why
it’s needless to deny
such an easy kind of high
when you’re a hippie

Let’s be hippies oohh
we’ll sleep in our tipis
and wake up with a step outside
to watch the day grow so pretty and bright
to a supernatural sight
feels good to be alive

When you’re a hippie oohh
you take nothing more than you need
cause our world’s remedy ironically
has always come for free and always been
a love that lives within
each and everybody’s skin
