about

“Feeling Like A Plant” cracks open with a raw burst of energy, like the freshness of a new life. In this single, drums and a low cello drone are Dominique Fils-Aimé’s only accompaniment. Vocal patterns come together and glow with warmth and vibrance—a vigorous reverberation. The song expands with subtle, sometimes dramatic melodic layers that shoot off into open spaces. These layers find room to grow, with a spirit of determination reinvigorated by the beat.

“Extending higher towards the light
Spreading deeper underground
Connecting above and below.”
- Dominique Fils-Aimé

lyrics

Feeling like a plant
Sitting in the sun
Growing
In the sun growing

In sync with the plan
Baskin’ in the glow
Knowing
In the glow knowing

Feeling like a plant
Sitting in the sun
Growing
In the sun growing

In sync with the plan
Baskin’ in the glow
Knowing
In the glow knowing

Knowing knowing
Knowing knowing

Yeah let me climb
Let me climb
All the way to the sun

Yeah let me climb
Let me climb
All the way to the sun

Yeah let me climb
Let me climb
All the way to the sun

Yeah let me climb
Let me climb
All the way to the sun

Cause I’m
Feeling like a plant
Sitting in the sun
Growing

(Feeling like a plant
Sitting in the sun
Growing)

In sync with the plan
(Imma plant growin’ Imma plant growin’)
Baskin’ in the glow knowing
(In sync with the plan
Baskin’ in the glow knowing)

Feeling like a plant
Sitting in the sun
Growing
(Imma plant growin’ Imma plant growin’)
In the sun
Growing

In sync with the plan
Baskin’ in the glow
Knowing
(Imma plant growin’ Imma plant growin’)

In the glow
In the glow
Knowing
Feeling like a plant
Sitting in the sun
Growing
In the glow
Knowing
Feeling like a plant
sitting the sun
Growing
In the sun growing
In sync with the plan
Basking in the glow
Knowing
Growing
In sync with the plan
Baskin’ in the glow
Knowing
In the glow
Knowing
Feeling like a plant
Sitting in the sun
Growing
In the glow
Knowing
Feeling like a plant
In the sun
Growing
Sitting in the sun
Growing

In sync with the plan
Baskin’ in the glow
Knowing
