Gondwanaland

about

Once all the continents were all jammed together like a surrealist jigsaw puzzle, and in a heated moment, I wanted to explore this, new territory to rock out on. It was definitely one of those songs that songwriters say came to them all at once, once I had the music in my mind's ears, the idea that each verse would start with, "when it's time" and that it would be called "Gondwanaland".

When you walk
and hold my hand
I can feel the ground beneath us
all the way back to
Gondwana land

520 Million years ago
back when earth was new
different features in the rock
and different creatures
in the sea so blue
and all the continents fit into one puzzle
called Gondwana land

When we get to Gondwana
and discover it soon
you hear the people speak
Gondwandanese
and then they smile at you

And when it’s time
to make our way
we will wander wander wander
til we find a place we’d like to stay

And the beat in the music will feel like this. . .

And when it’s time
to seek the jewels
we will use what we find
that used the pressure
of the world
to find its form

And when its time
to lie us down
Then we will lah-de dah-de dah
lah-de dah-de lie, lie, lie

And we will live forever
And we will always be togther
just like how
I love you now
I love you like I love the world forever in
Gondwana land

in Gondwana land
in Gondwana land
in Gondwana land
in Gondwana land
