about
Lovers’ secrets spill at the river delta, as Rainbow Chan plucks memories from a bygone childhood.
Idols 偶像 is the first single from Rainbow Chan’s forthcoming EP, Stanley. Lush vocals flit in between celestial chords, as Rainbow Chan recounts the tale of a couple lost In The Mood for Love.
Completely self produced, Stanley is her exploration of a love past, a farewell to a city that’s changed forever. Inspired by the recorded mixtapes of her grandmother’s bedside, Stanley is like a loving cassette, re-recorded and passed down through generations of family, but always retaining traces of its warm core.
lyrics
Going off my medication,
I'm confronted by my ugliest self.
Sometimes my imagination is more
frightening than the mouth of hell.
My teacher said I won't go to heaven
cos there were idols in my parents' house.
As a big girl I'm still idolising
all the pricks who could keep me aroused.
What happens after I win your heart?
What happens after love?
At the delta you will find my secrets,
some too shameful to put into words.
But when the river flows I don't give a fuck
about what's deserved and what's bad luck.
So my lover you shall drink in plenty
from my river when the fruits are sweet.
Cos one day when all the bees are gone
then together we will gently weep.
What happens after I win your heart?
What happens after love?
Love
Love
Love
Love
What happens
after
I win
your love?
Love
Love
Love
Love

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
