Holding, holding, holding on something that’s nice Living, living, living the best of all your life Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming about us when you’re high Hidden, hidden, hidden between these arms of mine It was dark and it was late when you came up to me that day Nice style, bright smile, it was hard to say no way Getting high all the time, you can say we were ready Getting closer to the fire, you can say we were ready Something in your world, something in your world Got me thinking that, sure, I knew you first Something in your world, something in your world We never met before but now I remember Something deep inside, something deep inside I gotta show myself before it goes apart Something that you know, something that you know Something that you know, something that you know I can say, honestly, I did dream about you some days, some nights Even when I drive alone on the fast ride It was constantly evolving, returning to my old prayers To my old prayers So-o, tell if you think about me It’s hard to go, it’s hard to know, I can’t believe it when I fall Tell me if you care about me I tried to make you scream, tried to make you feel, tried to make you Don’t know if you care about me Every time I’m all around, it’s seems that you cannot be found Don’t know if you care about Don’t know if you care about Don’t know if you care about me Something in your world, something in your world Got me thinking that, sure, I knew you first Something in your world, something in your world We never met before but now I remember Something deep inside, something deep inside I gotta show myself before it goes apart Something that you know, something that you know Something that you know, something that you know

New Soul 04:48
Where are you from and where do you go Maybe from a city below Over mountains forests and seas You know, you know, you know how it feels You can now hear all the echo Stand and watch the real flow And the breath of the morning breeze You know, you know, you know, how it feels You can step into the silence You won’t hear the sound of violence Leaking to this world of anger Cause you, cause you, cause you are stronger You won’t take it to this world if you can’t leave alone Surrounded by the ones you fear the ones you seem to know But you can lean on me, you can lean on me You go and all the world just seems to fall apart Into something that’s not so loud, that’s not a crowd Believe me when I say you don’t belong in here You don’t belong, you don’t belong, you don’t belong, you don’t belong in here Where are you from and where do you go I can see the path you followed You can even stay here solo No need no need to pretend no more No I can see you spirit flow Don’t be afraid go on and let go Free from all the choices you made And all the secrets that you betrayed Oh how you wish that I were here But then when only I am near Together we will have no fear Flying sailing year after year You won’t take it to this world if you can’t leave alone Surrounded by the ones you fear the ones you seem to know But you can lean on me You go and all the world just seems to fall apart Into something that’s not so loud, that’s not a crowd Believe me when I say you don’t belong in here You don’t belong, you don’t belong, you don’t belong, no no no no no You go and all the world just seems to fall apart Into something that’s not so loud, that’s not a crowd Believe me when I say you don’t belong in here You don’t belong, you don’t belong, you don’t belong, you don’t belong in here

Playback 04:59
Every time you come around, come around like a memory Don’t wanna change the past you keep it with you like a mystery Hard to change when you are trapped in your heart, it was meant to be But in the end it’s always been about you and this melody And you remember all these old days Living, dreaming, all the ways, And you remember all these old days But now for you it’s time to play Ooooooh, shining like the moon Wild and free it was your mood Getting trapped in by the groove By the groove Ooooooh, shining like the moon Wild and free it was your mood Getting trapped in, trapped in, trapped in By the groove You wake up, you realize that it’s different today Get a job, get a wife, get a life, pay the price, that is how you forgot to play Looking back on where you were blooming Cruising down the streets Like everything was fine, everything’s aligned Doing what you like, in accordance with your mind Ooooooh, shining like the moon Wild and free it was your mood Getting trapped in by the groove By the groove I said Ooooooh, shining like the moon Wild and free it was your mood Getting trapped in by the groove By the groove, by the groove Ooooooh, shining like the moon Wild and free it was your mood Getting trapped in, trapped in, trapped in

Summertime 05:55
It feels like summertime when I wear my yellow dress It feels like summertime when you kiss me on the neck It feels like summertime when I hear my mama say Don’t stay today, stay today Just got away, got away Uh I was about to leave here all my fame I was about to leave here all my strength I was about to forget where I came from I was about to, I was about to And I felt all alone that day It was grey I was ready for the game And I felt all alone that day It was grey I was ready for the game And I felt all alone that day Could you stay? Why standing in the doorway And I felt all alone, all alone It feels like summertime, I can’t wait to melt with you Cause you are mine and I’m all yours for one week or two And all the magic of the sun cames on me and makes us one No place for hiding this time No place to run, run, run,ru-un I was about to leave here all my fame I was about to leave here all my strength I was about to forget where I came from I was about to, I was about to And I felt all alone that day It was grey I was ready for the game And I felt all alone that day It was grey I was ready for the game And I felt all alone that day Could you stay? Why standing in the doorway And I felt all alone, all alone But how much time will you have to let me burn And everytime you come around there’s no return I slowly let my anger turn to just concern But then one day you’ll be surprised of things I’ve learned The clarity to see and stop, that’s all I’ve earned The closer you get to the fire closer you get to the fire closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned And I felt all alone that day It was grey I was ready for the game And I felt all alone that day It was grey I was ready for the game And I felt all alone that day Could you stay? Why standing in the doorway And I felt all alone, all alone Yeah I felt all alone

about

Bloom is the 3rd EP of the French band Salt Peanuts. It contains the two previously released singles: New Soul, a neo soul piece in the style of artists like Jorja Smith, and Summertime, a nu funk hit inspired by bands like Vulfpeck or Lettuce.
The atmosphere is more introspective and melancholic with songs like A little Something or Playback while still leaving some space for groovy music and epic solos. The mix of jazz funk soul that is the footprint of the band is taken to a whole new level with this record.
