from CHILDHOOD by AJIMAL

/

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    CHILDHOOD is the debut album from AJIMAL, featuring a cast of more than 50 musicians and themed around the concept of childhood. The album explores ideas of youth, potential and play through a mix of contemporary, classical, and field recordings.

    Heavyweight 12" vinyl as part of a limited 500 edition pressing. Includes 8-page printed lyric booklet featuring original artwork by Ernesto Artillo and full digital download.

    Recorded with friend and collaborator Mick Ross in various studios, churches, theatres and hospitals in the North East, the resulting album is a carefully constructed work of remarkable beauty. It is a bold debut that combines soaring orchestral grandeur with the quiet intimacies of creaking floorboards, foot scrapes and the breath of performers.

    Includes unlimited streaming of CHILDHOOD via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

“Make a wish, but don't wish for money because it's unlucky
Wish for something close to your heart

What you wished for was from the heart
And what you wished for will definitely come true for the future
Your lifeline is good and your lifeline is strong
From there to there is the line of life
You have wills and ways of your own which will always remain with you, true to your heart

There's no death in your hand and there's no death to come
You will never come to be a burden in life and you will never come to be a trouble
Because independence you will keep ‘til the end

Stick in well with your studying, because it will pay off for you
You will pass it with flying colours
Your career will play a big part in your life
Because I see you going to the top in career, but I never see you coming down

You won't end your days in the house you're living in
Because you will leave from there and change your surroundings
There's a journey to be taken over water – I want you to take it
And when you take that journey you'll come back lighter in your heart and in your mind

Don't live in the past, I want you to live for the future
Because the future's got more happiness in it, than whatever the past holds
And I do see you've got a good future
You've got a happy one ahead
And I have got no bad news to tell you”
