Simply stated: no mix tape you put together for your loved one should go without this song!

I was struck by the beautiful arrangement, vocals and lyrics of this song ever since hearing it for the first time on one of DJ River’s Ambient/Chillout mixes. I looked up the band, called Bliss, and sure enough there was more great stuff where this one came from.

Bliss_bandThe musical world of Bliss is deeply rooted in a blend of western, African and classical musical influences representing the vast musical backgrounds of all four members respectively. It also showcases an undercurrent of apparent melancholy with a warmth that is otherwise hard to describe in words.

Kissing is a song from their latest album, Quiet Letters. I really highly recommend this album, and all of Bliss’s music in general. It’s hard to explain, but listening to them while doing anything can magically make you feel better and more at ease. It’s a cross between ambient and chillout. If you’re a fan of Secret Garden, then Bliss is worth discovering!

Lyrics

The red light of the sun,
slowly descending.
The sky is all I see,
it’s never ending.

We could fly,
you and I.
On a cloud,
kissing, kissing.

The wind plays with the leaves,
the weather turns colder.
But as long as we believe,
love doesn’t get older.

We could fly,
you and I.
On a cloud,
kissing, kissing.

On a journey of the heart,
there’s so much to see.
And when the sky is dark,
you’ll be right here,
right here with me.

Right here with me.
Kissing.

(Kissing, kissing)
(A journey of the heart)
