Celebration - "Battles"

Last night a new card in Celebration's Electric Tarot project was dealt by WICV Radio's Secret Pizza. The card was Strength, and came via the new song, "Battles". Above is a sun-lit photo of singer Katrina Ford's painting - her rendition of Strength in the tarot deck. Katrina has painted nine cards over the past few months, all of which are to be shown on the inside of the gate-fold sleeve the vinyl LP will be packaged in.



"Battles" is the eighth song on the forthcoming Hello Paradise LP, and is among the newer batch that was recorded at Night Worm Studios and mixed at Wright Way Studios.

In the Electric Tarot, "Battles" represents the card for Strength. Katrina's painting depicts a pale horse in what seems like an impossible quest. While some of the odds against him are unclear, and others are devious, the horse shows determination through patience and composure through structure. "Battles" withstands the resolve in one's heart.

BATTLES by CELEBRATION (lyrics by KATRINA FORD)

I feel the force
all at once
to ride this lightnin' down
on a pale horse ride right noooooooooooow

IF IT'S NOT IN YOUR HEART SAY IT RIGHT FROM THE START NOW
AND IF IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD RUN TO ME INSTEAD LOVE

THERE'S NOTHING HERE TO SEE

IF IT'S NOT IN YOUR HEART SAY IT RIGHT FROM THE START NOW
AND IF IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD RUN TO ME INSTEAD LOVE

CHANGE, CHANGE COULD BE FINE
JUST GUARANTEE I DON'T LOSE MY MIND
THERE , THERE WILL BE BLOOD
THERE WILL BE BLOOD BETWEEN THE LINES

OH, SO I DRINK THE VINE, BATHE NAKED IN SUNSHINE
OH WHY MUST BATTLES TAKE SO LONG?

I'LL BE STRONG
TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT WE'LL BE AS ONE
LOOK TOWARDS THE FUTURE SO LONG
I'LL BE STRONG [x2]
TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT WE'LL BE AS ONE
LOOK TOWARDS THE FUTURE STRONG
WHY MUST BATTLES TAKE SO LONG?
I'LL BE STRONG...
