about

Sentinel celebrates the island life. On the island of North Sentinel a tribe has survived in seclusion for over 50 thousand years, a remarkable feat! Wouldn't it be nice to live the life you want, in harmony with the world around you, and not having to care about silly modern day struggles? In other words, wouldn't you want to live on an island, just like the Sentinelese?

lyrics

Sentinelese

I want to live on an island
Just like the Sentinelese
There wouldn’t be much cause for violence
Mostly they’d leave me at peace

Sometimes I wish I could join them
Prancing about with my spear
My willy exposed to the gods of the trees
Dating back gazillions of years

REF: To have a grand old history
Firmly grounded, yet always simply free
To be a sentinel of nature’s fierce decrees
Is the most that any man could ever wish to be

I’ll watch the sands of your sacred shores
I’ll be the guardian of bees
Worshipping the ground and the river’s course
Because they are the lifeblood of me

I want to dance around your Andaman fires
I want to know if you’re woke
We can’t turn our backs on this planetary pyre
But surely we can fix something that’s broke

REF: Try to convert me to your wacky rules
You will be sent to your grave
Your gods and your money mean nothing to me
I wasn’t born to be a slave

Lalala……… Sentinelese… lalalala…. Etc.

REF: To have…

Lalala etc.

Laat je raken door de muziek van Blue Dog, en volg zijn weg door vreugde, rouw, onwetendheid en overpeinzingen naar de conclusie dat het de moeite waard is om door te zetten, ondanks onze soms overweldigende neiging naar zelfvernietiging.
