I started singing without knowing the words without knowing the words without knowing is this a chorus or a verse is this a chorus or a verse should I rehearse should I rehearse Standing upon this array I stand upon this array Of starbeds way up high yet far behind I know the sun will rise I started singing without knowing the words without knowing the words without knowing is this a chorus or a verse is this a chorus or a verse should I rehearse should I rehearse

Get In My Bed (Mist) 04:56
lyrics
Get in my bed get in my bed get in my bed Come on, we got all night come on, I'll sing you the sweetest song, babe the sweetest song that ever could be sung Oh there’s nothin we cannot do all we’ve been through And there's no one else believe me, there's only you Come on, we got all night come on, I'll sing you the sweetest song, babe the sweetest song that ever could be sung And when our baby was born we were light feathers so light out floating across the lit dawn and gathering all the sunlight just then a storm came spiraling us down through you the wind sang murderous songs I, Odysseus, and you Calypso hostage on the island Ogygia Rolling on the tide our little mist rolling on the tide

Come on you and I to the shore down to the shore come on, we will dive into the sea, my love come along, baby come along How our love it can be something beautiful How our love it can be.. And deeper we dive to the floor down to the floor until we collided then there were three, my love then our daughter was born Now you and I are not together anymore I still see you pick our daughter up in the morning when we meet eyes I can feel that you still wanna be with me oh I can hardly stand the feeling How our love it can be something beautiful How our love it can be How our love it can be something beautiful

You and me picking apples and pears light on your skin, wind blowing through your hair When you ran off and I couldn't find you I heard you laughing then I knew you were alright On and on and on On and on we go in light On and on and on we go On and on we go in light On and on and on we go Pulling our wagon in and out of rows filling our buckets full as they can go then we hit a bump and everything tumbled out we sighed for a second then we picked ‘em back up, ain't that life On and on and on On and on we go in light On and on and on we go On and on we go in light On and on and on we go

Rain your love, pouring down rain me your love, down Looking up, all the clouds rain your love all over me Over me, rain your love Don’t rainbows ever touch the ground Oh, is it all just a dream something made up, just fooling around rain your love all over me Over me, rain your love Don’t it feel good, laying around in this riverbed, serene deep in your flood, at once, you rushed pulling me down, pulling the covers over me Over me, rain your love

about

Standing Upon This Array is a collection of ten songs compiled and developed during the onset of the pandemic and reflects a panoramic view of a turbulent 12-year relationship. Through an inward-looking prism and lyrical perspective, Miles invites us on a kind of spiritual retreat — a sonic spa of love, loss, yearning, and peace.

Multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Kyleen King (violin/vocals for Brandi Carlisle) contributed backing vocals to three tracks on the new album and had this to say about the record: "Standing Upon This Array is motif mastery and textural titillation. It is golden joy. It's what I want to listen to as I drive down an empty highway at the dawn of summer - windows down, speakers cranked, sun on my face."

This is Miles's first full-length album in nine years following the 2013 release of Ancient Wave. The new album was released on June 7, 2022 via Featherbed Records.
