MĭNT Lyrics
It's magic baby
My mattress baby
Sleeping on clothes
The fabric baby
Looks tragic maybe
It lets me know
I'm on the ground
I'm on the ground
I'm on the ground
If you are down
If you are down
If you are down
I know you're grounded
Know you're grounded
Know your ground
Can you get down?
Can you get down?
Can you get down?
Yeah
[Chorus: KAMAU]
To the spaces (spaces)
In between our faces (faces)
The most beautiful places in the world
Don't waste it (waste it)
I could almost taste it (taste it)
The most beautiful places in the world
In the world
World
In the world
World
Resistance is taunting
I can see you opening
All of yourself to me
I let go of my pride and I lay down with you
I'll take my shoes off
Let the empty spaces be just there
I have no fear of silence
Especially under the moon (moon)
Or under the sun or under the clouds
[Chorus: KAMAU & Talibah Safiya]
In the spaces (spaces)
In between our faces (faces)
The most beautiful places in the world
Don't waste it (waste it)
I could almost taste it (taste it)
The most beautiful places in the world
In the world (world)
World (world)
In the world (world)
World (world)
[Verse 3: KAMAU & Talibah Safiya]
All this gravity float to the moon
Weightless levity pulls me to you
Just enjoy the view
All the spaces (spaces)
In between our faces (faces)
The most beautiful places in the world
Don't waste it (waste it)
I could almost taste it (taste it)
The most beautiful places in the world
In the world (All the shade of the willow)
World (Your shape on the pillow)
In the world (At the top of the Rockies)
World (Way down in your sockies)
About
“A song about romance born naked amidst adversity.
MĭNT follows two characters, played by KAMAU & Talibah Safiya, in love and search of a place to sleep. In the short musical piece, we see the two perform the song MiNT whilst in the gratitude of each others presence. It is a blessing to be and to be here and present. It is a blessing to breath, but for many, not an exclusively pretty one. For many, this reality on breath, is both magnificently soft and immensely harsh. It is in those moments of harshness that we a forced to see how much we need each other. Even in achieving our prime act, being born, there would have needed to have been at least two. Living is collaborating within the great unity. Even in breath, we need the output of things outside of ourselves, (Oxygen from phytoplankton, algae, bacteria and many terrestrial and aquatic plants, etc.) There is a certain level of unity, respect, servitude and codependency prerequisite for love, or anything to grow.

The song is featuring the incredible Talibah Safiya and is produced by the unstoppable Dave Monks
