The Ferryman from Indigo by Not My Circus
El disco concluye con The Ferryman, cuya letra fue escrita por Ben Gibson durante un viaje a la India. De hecho, incluye una mantra de la novela clásica Siddhartha de Herman Hesse: “lo divino en mí saluda lo divino en ti.” La canción inspecciona la condición humana como la canción anterior, pero ofrece una guía para entender y superar los desafíos de la vida. La conclusión es una celebración de la vida que lleva el grupo y el público a un punto de éxtasis compartido.

Lyrics
Ashes on the shelf
Dust has settled on the earthenware
Renovate yourself
The thinking man must stop and stare
It takes time to give time to prayer
Trust and the heart will open
You can do right by the ones who want to listen
Hold on to what is golden
People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones
Surrender false prophets, believe in this alone
The divine in me salutes the divine in you…
Multiplicity
Underlined by unity
Creation in harmony
We are bound to the earth by its story
Commit to a life of truth
Compassion and devotion to the absolute
How can it be that we are run by fear and desire?
It’s not a fight worth keeping if the joy is seeping out of you
Let go of what keeps you from yourself
Ego, attachments: ashes on the shelf
The divine in me salutes the divine in you

Not My Circus makes alt-pop songs with folk-tinged vocal harmonies skipping over a freak show of psych-blues riffs, soulful bass grooves, wonky funk beats and warm electronic textures. A white-knuckle ride to the edge of your musical map, and back again.
Step right up. The circus is in town.
