The Cinematic Orchestra - To Build a Home
Today on Twitter, I discovered this outstanding song with gorgeous piano instrumentals, a haunting voice, and fantastic lyrics. The song is in the background of the Schweppes Premium Mineral Water outstanding marketing campaign centered around slowing down life to ‘experience a moment of Schweppervescence’. The 90 second video is so appealing to the eye, showing various scenes of water balloons exploding in slow motion, and can be seen below.
Enjoy!

The Cinematic Orchestra - To Build a Home
There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don’t feel alone
This is a place where i feel at home
And I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it’s time to leave and turn to dust
(Instrumental)
Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree that’s old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed its knees
By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
And I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it’s time to leave and turn to dust
