about
Originally part of the twelve-track album “Make Me Do” (2016). this is a slightly different mix that includes new handclaps and quite a bit of reshaping the overall sound, particularly with the drum set.
lyrics
This is your soul speaking, hear me out
You can not listen if you shout, shout, shout
Relax a while, try on a smile and be silent
This is your soul, I got news for you, you’ll
Miss out on life if you just do, do, do
Sit down a while, try on a smile and be idle
Chrous:
Take a time out in your hide out
Settle down, calm down and doze
Take a time out in your hide out
Rose is a rose is a rose
This is your captain speaking, keep your seat
Enjoy your heart, feel it beat, beat, beat
For hours now we won’t allow any trouble
This is your captain again, be aware
Best thing to do now is to stare, stare, stare
For hours now we’ll float around in a bubble
Chorus:
Take a time out in your hide out
Turn off your phone and read prose
Take a time out in your hide out
See, hear and feel with your nose
Take a time out in your hide out
Lie on your porch, twist your toes
Take a time out in your hide out
Try to be one with your clothes

Babu Menos is a musician (composer and lyricist, multi-instrumentalist and singer), writer, smart-ass, idler, and former
traveller — amidst this climate catastrophe, one cannot travel in good conscience anymore.
This collection is not of this world. Combining a multitude of instruments, soundscapes, field recordings, and emotional electronics, Yara Asmar created a parallel universe I love getting lost in. Babu Menos
Tennyson stand for the warmest electronica imaginable. Original songwriting and about one million ideas per song add to this, making their music glittering, comforting, intriguing, deeply fascinating. Babu Menos
One of the many things that set the Montreal-based singer apart are the amazing vocal arrangements. Stunning a-cappella songs accompanied by lots of percussion, piano, and a handful more instruments. Babu Menos
