about

Isadora is yet another fresh sound for a band that has explored everything from classic 50’s AM country to 80’s darkwave. This time RRL takes a dive into the weird and wonderful world of pop psychedelia. The song opens intimately to a mesmerizing soft vocal and a Mellotron piano that sway back and forth like a cradle song.In the span of a few measures Isadora unpredictably unfurls over a fuzz guitar that rushes like water toward a technicolor collage of piano, electronics, Prince-styled harmonies and a distinct1967 Beatles influence. Isadora builds into an entrancing and amplifying interplay of orchestral instrumentation.It’s a fittingly cinematic escalation for a song about the uncomprehending power of collective human consciousness and universality. The melody sails and swells through the dreamy imagined world of Isadora before waking where it began, with a lullaby. The song closes with Scarlett’s voice softly passing on the sage and timely reminder that we are more alike than we are unalike and that everyone carries within them the possibility of a changed world.

lyrics

Isadora stirs over dreamy little birds
Yearning with the urge to split the sky
And fly, fly
Harbours evermore, captive to the shore
Long to sail like ships upon her sea
And be free, free, free

Isadora we are one umbilical to your sun
And when you shine the whole world shines
And we're singin'
oooooh oooooh oooooh....

Saints and sages know
Isadora cannot grow
To realms beyond the earth and moon above
Without love, love, love

Isadora we are one umbilical to your sun
And when you shine the whole world shines
And we're singin'
oooooh oooooh oooooh....

Shine with love love love
Spread your love love love
Speak in love love love
Shine your love love love

Instrumental

We should all agree
I am you and you are me
All just very differently the same
Same skin that burns beneath the light of sun
We are one, one, one
