A dazzling lo-fi ode to break ups and horoscopes, a combination of earnest verses that could almost be described as spoken word dropped over chilled synths and even a few shoop-de-doops thrown in for good measure.
“I’m Aquarius” was initially available via an nifty little app called Night Sky (on A...
[Verse 1]
Just one fight and just one anniversary
So I never thought you'd be the one to up and leave
You said our love was written in the stars
But I never paid attention to my charts
But now I see how quick you must want to forget
'Cause you left the ring I bought you with your cigarettes
Well, I can finish up if you don't want them
And I can take the ring back where I got it from
[Chorus]
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
I can love it or I can leave it
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
You said, "Honey, I best be leaving"
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
'Cause you're a novice, and I'm a Taurus
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
And I'm not gonna say, I'm not gonna do
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
I can love it or I can leave it
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
You said, "Honey, I best be leaving"
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
'Cause you're a Taurus and I'm Aquarius
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
And I'm not gonna say, I'm not gonna do
[Verse 2]
Never thought about it sentimentally
Never saw just how much you thought I meant to me
Never learned about it at university
Never thought about it 'cause you're the first, you see
And I'm aware of the procedure
But normally it's me that leaves her
I guess I'm finished up, it's time to move on
I'm taking the ring back to where I got it from
[Chorus]
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
I can love it or I can leave it
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
You said, "Honey, I best be leaving"
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
'Cause you're a novice and I'm a Taurus
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
And I'm not gonna say, I'm not gonna do
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
I can love it or I can leave it
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
You said, "Honey, I best be leaving
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
'Cause you're a novice and I'm a Taurus
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
And we've had problems, we're notorious for them
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
It's what your friends said now, you're inside there now
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
I've seen our stars and there's nothing aligning
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
That's 'cause I'm Aquarius, yeah, I'm Aquarius
[Refrain]
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
I'm Aquarius, I'm Aquarius
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
I'm Aquarius, I'm Aquarius
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
I'm Aquarius, I'm Aquarius
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
I'm Aquarius, I'm Aquarius
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
I'm Aquarius, I'm Aquarius
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
I'm Aquarius, I'm Aquarius
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
I'm Aquarius, I'm Aquarius
(Shoop-doop-doop, ah)
I'm Aquarius, I'm Aquarius
[Outro]
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
Shoop-doop-doop, ah
