Cosmo Sheldrake - Does the Swallow Dream of Flying

This one goes straight to my “I’m listening to this one till every crevice and turn becomes so familiar that it feels like wearing an old trustworthy pair of shoes” playlist. Thank you so much! Can’t wait for the album.

WE MAKING IT OUT THE EXISTENTIAL MENTAL RUT WITH THIS ONE BOYS 🔥🔥

in 2016 i accidentally clicked on a music called “the moss” and i’ve never been the same
thank you

Cosmo and AURORA are two of my favorite artists because they both sing songs about nature and I believe truly respect it. Plus their music itself is absolutely beautiful always!

I was searching for somw other song and clicked on 'the moss' by mistake. The best mistake of my life 😭

So haunting and beautiful, inexplicably sad... reminds me of Solar Waltz! Wonderful song, Cosmo!

Oh wonderful, my mother just sat to watch Stop the Music with me and now we have double the wonder!

instant connection with this one, sonically and lyrically... the humming throughout and the choir towards the end speaks to my entire nervous system somehow, which is very great timing, because lately it's been going a bit haywire without my permission. "i won't go through the motions anymore." is a sentiment that resonates in so many ways. beautiful work as always

Always a treat for new Cosmo Sheldrake music!

Cosmo Sheldrake is reminding me that my daily stresses matters to other people, but not to Time or to the Earth.
Thank you, Cosmo. I will try to not make mountains out of mole hills this year!

Both this and Stop The Music feel pretty apocalyptic to me. Like songs to wander abandoned cities to.

This song makes me feel like I'm lying alone on the edge of the forest thinking about how I’m an equal part of this world just like animals and insects and trees and rocks and clouds and-

Please never stop creating Cosmo. I adore how much of a storyteller you are with your music. I’m always mesmerized by your instrumentals, vocals and lyrics. The apocalyptic/fantasy vibe of this song is also beautiful. You’re a gift and have gotten me through some tough times. Thank you and I hope you’re doing well

Probably because I first heard this song while someone was drawing a scene of someone mourning the recent death of their loved one, but especially the beginning has a melancholic presence. I love it.

This reminds me of over the garden wall, i need to rewatch it but this seems like it’d fit.

So rich in sound yet so minimalistic. Can't stop admiring every beat

Dude I wish this song was longer. Just the ideas behind the lyrics and the mystical feeling behind a sort of sour acceptance just resonates with me. This song could be 10 minutes, 20 even and I’d listen to every second of it. If anything, I just wish that chorus was repeated, it hit so freakin hard. Amazing stuff cosmo, keep up the hard work dude you’re gonna go far

WAKE UP BABE NEW COSMO SHELDRAKE SONG JUST DROPPED !!!!!

said it on twitter and i'll say it again here:
love this

this is perhaps the tastiest thing I have ever listened, the different sounds mixed with choir like composition...too good!!!

The atmosphere of Cosmo Sheldrake's songs is unmatched

all your songs make me want to draw my stories to them - i love how evocative your music always is!

Ever since Much Much, I’ve been wanting another vocal Cosmo album, and these two releases have been INCREDIBLE!

No other artist can convey this feeling of escapism and curiosity of the natural world like you. You're my favourite artist, love ur stuff

Lyrics for those who want to follow :
Does the swallow dream of flying
As it sleeps on the wing
Does it long for the summer
As it flies home for spring
Does Daisy feel a sadness
At the last rays of sun
Does the wind feel a gladness
At the work that it's done
I won't go making mountains
Out of molehills
Any more
I won't go chasing windmills
Round in circles
Any more
I won't go preaching sermons
To the choir what's it for?
I won't go through the motions anymore
Does the river ever wonder
What will come round the bend?
As it twists and meanders
Down its slow descent
I looked out over London
With my last cup of tea
My gaze was returned by
Grey cloud and steel

Love your music cosmo ❤

A good song to introduce a Villain with an interesting backstory

I love the questioning of animals and the nature, asking if they have humanlike emotions to the things they do every day. Do they second guess themselves? Do they worry about the next move? Do they iverthinl? Do they feel the joy of making it through the day?
Then him understanding that he shouldnt worry as much as he does, "i wont go through the motions" gives me the vibe of depression cycles, how it starts small and gets worse. Then the ending shows his acceptance of those feelings, as they are, and letting them just be, not controlling him

I don’t think I’ve felt such emotion on the very 1st listen of a song. This hit me right in the core. You never fail to make bangers after banger. Never stop making soul touching music 🔥🔥

Love this! So happy to have new music from Cosmo Sheldrake!

Oh god I wasn't expecting this one to hit so hard. This goes in the "banger I am only able to listen to when I'm emotionally prepared" category. Making me vibe with the horrible melancholy of humans being domesticated.

Absolutely love the low bass in this song. The lyrics are also super nice and magical

Listening to a new Cosmo song while reading Warrior Cats is such a vibe.

I absolutely LOVE this song! Im obsessed!

Yet another great song, Cosmo! Loving everything you create and upload. Keep up the great work.

Cosmo, I really missed your music. I am glad that you are back!

Thank you so much for your music, Cosmo. How can you not feel alive when you listen to it?

this is the one that holds me closest so far, excited for what's to come.

Cosmo. Im gonna be honest, not a lot of songs make it into my Badass playlist. But this ones made it past that.

Phenomenal as always.

A while ago I was just searching for a tiktok sound called "birthday suit" and now my ears are blessed with beauty, thank you so much for saving my ears!

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!!!!

This song makes me feel like an eldritch nature deity slowly exploring my world and laying down the foundation of MANY myths and legends.

Absolutely ethereal, I am genuinely in tears 🙏 Bless you sir

So excited for the rest of this album

absolutely phenomenal as always!!

Whimsical and pensive at the same time, how wonderful!

This is crazy! Love it!

this is such an experience for my ears. It is so amazing!

This is SO GOOD OMG

Their music is an experience ✨

I always really enjoy the slower paced music you make its so easy to relax to, i think this is probably one of your best so far ❤

This one sounds a little darker than most of his songs, and I’m all for it!

Very much looking forward to this album, beautiful harmonies

Sounds lovely, this weeks favourite song for me.

I LOVE ALL YOUR SONGS❤

the vocals sends CHILLS

This is an entire musical number! Love it

This is definitely my favourite! Great job. Love the lyrics. Now it's time to imagine stupid animatics I'll never animate 😔✌

I discovered your music only about two weeks back, but GOD DAMN, it tickles my brain just right

Cosmo's songs are the ones I listen to while writing my book. It sets the tone so beautifully 💜

this song… legit sent tingles through my scalp the entire time
Amazing job, Cosmo

Hell yeah, new album!

I remembered Cosmo Sheldrake existed and finding them uploading new songs is just perfect for me

Absolutely wonderfull!

My goodness this sounds amazing

What this man can do to me with his music is indescribable, what divine providence to be alive as well as him, another song to listen on repeat 🔁

i cannot express in words how excited i am about this album. i love this so much!!!

The song sounds so mysterious but yet so calming just like the previous song realsed. But these lyrics surely are very intriguing

Don't remember when i subbed to this channel but it was def worth it.

wow this is so beautiful !! thank you so much

The first time I listened to this song, it was on a midnight drive to get pizza with my best friend after 6 hours of studying and the bass was turned all the way up and I don't think I'll ever get that faerie magic induced feeling of ASCENDING ever again

This is SO GOOD!! Like the sounds, the lyrics, the beat, AHHH- I'm gonna overplay this song so badly

I want this for my contemporary solo next year!

Amazing ❤❤❤ this song has a beautiful old world charm , love this creation so much❤❤❤

Very tropical sound

Oh my god, I've been wanting a new Cosmo Sheldrake song for ages! and this does not dissapoint!

BABE WAKE UP , NEW COSMO SHELDRAKE SONG JUST DROPPED!!!!!

Lovely song as always

The poetry in this one is just wonderful. It makes me feel like a Renaissance philosopher waxing poetic about the meaning of life.

I just woke up, my day is 100% better

DEVOURED ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

These last few days have been so hard on me so this song absolutely hits different. Todays the first day since the year started that Ive felt mentally, emotionally, physically well enough to go on a walk through the woods despite it being overcast and rainy. Couldnt help but take a rest at the trunk of a lichen covered tree and listen to this song again followed by the echos of the rain drops around me.
Amazing work as always Cosmo Sheldrake! 💜🍃✨🌱

Fantastic

ahh that feeling of awe is back with this one, been a while since i felt this way

I feel blessed to have found this..

Oh this is a new favorite of mine, easy top 5

HELL YEAH NEW COSMO SHELDRAKE MUSIC!!!

I love every second of this

It is simple and profound, I really like this one

Beautiful music

This man is a musical genius.

This song tickles my brain like nothing I’ve ever experienced. This is absolutely phenomenal, thank you for this treasure and new hyper fixation

Something about this song feels like someone who's ascended and is letting go of all mortal worries. Yet at same time finds it deeply tragic

I adore this

Divine

Fascinating.

A bop as usual. 💪

This is like the best song I've listened to lately

beautiful
