about

Suns, Moons and Stardust, a song written a few years ago on a plane when Lou Piensa visualised fatherhood and imagined a conversation with his unborn child. As fate would have it, about a year later, his first daughter was born. Here, Lou reflects on the fears and hopes of a potential father, laced over a smooth jazz sample and his signature off kitler drums.

lyrics

To my unborn son, will I have you or will I have a little daughter
Ought to be something incredible when I hold her
For the first time and feel this life in my hands
Glance at the future with a different stance, man/
Will I know how to look in your eyes
Get hooked and realise how priceless the present is
I must say I get intrigued
At the thought of filling the days with less angst and more pleasentries
Where the mistakes ebd is where the lessons start
Will I find the answers to your question marks
And know how to mold you to be a strong woman
In an world full of week men holding the power looming
Grooming you to learn from me, I know u'll teach me even more
Thats why heart beats, thats what I'm breathing for
Here's a short letter for you my love
As I wait for the latest, the greatest gift from up above

Unborn sons, unborn daughters
Here's some notes from an unborn father
Unborn suns, moons and stardust
Here's a galaxy from me to you

To my unborn daughter, will i have you or will I have a little son?
Sure to be something incredible when I hold em
For the first time and feel this life in my hands
Advance towards the future with a different dance, man
Will I know how to look in your eyes
And appease your soul's cries 'til your last tear dries
What is meant to be will be
Bet indeed that any challenge on the way I'll mentally defeat
I know you'll be my guide, you have fire, I just have the spark
Your heart shines, I can see it in the dark
Will I show you how to be a strong man
In an world full of those who wish to deal you the wrong hand
Grooming you to learn from me, i know u'll teach me even more
Thats why my heart beats, thats what I'm breathing for
Here's a short letter for you my love
As I wait for the latest, the greatest gift from up above

Unborn sons, unborn daughters
Here's some notes from an unborn father
Unborn suns, moons and stardust
Here's a galaxy from me to you

One time, for your child one time (and that's forever)
One time, for your child one time (and that's forever)
One time, for your child one time (and that's forever)
One time, for your child one time (and that's forever)

To our unborn children,
Will we have onw or maybe see a set of twins, huh?
Gotta be something incredible when we hold them
For the first time, feel these lives in our hands
Demand more from each other and our plans, damn
Will we know how to look into those eyes
Redesign and redefine how nice its to share a dream
See the beauty in humanity instead of seeing
Only wrongs in society, better and higher beings
As a father I'll commit and will do my part
Hold our babies like I hold these words, close to our hearts
And show them how to be strong people in an world where division is king and nobody's born equal
Grooming them to learn from us, I know they'll teach us even more Thats why our heart beat and what we're breathing for
Here's a short letter for you our loves
As we wait for the latest, the greatest gift from up above

Unborn sons, unborn daughters
Here's some notes from an unborn father
Unborn suns, moons and stardust
Here's a galaxy from me to you

«Waiting for the Lord to rise, I look into my daughter's eyes, and realise I'mma learn through her» (4X)
