Chrystabell & David Lynch – Sublime Eternal Love lyrics
When he saw it
Coming round and shining
He fell down crying
And trembling
Calling out he cried
Cried for understanding
Voices came
And the noise turned to music
And the notes had feeling
A feeling of love
A sublime love
Eternal love
Sublime eternal love
The 10-track album will be the third record capturing the unique synergy of David Lynch’s avantgardism and Chrystabell’s mesmerizing vocals after “This Train” in 2011, and the “Somewhere in the Nowhere” EP in 2016. Here’s the complete “Cellophane Memories” track list as well as the David Lynch-designed album cover art featuring a close-up of an orchid. (No blue rose for FBI Special Agent Tammy Preston, huh?)
