about

Through their dreamy soul-infused melodies, pulsating psychedelic grooves and esoteric lyrics, the Island Seeds offer a unique musical blend of the island's ‘Mediterranean soul’, which is quintessentially Cypriot and yet effortlessly at home beyond its barriers. Formed over coffee within Nicosia’s buffer zone in the spring of 2022, the Island Seeds is a collective of seven artists from the island’s two largest communities, united by a sense of musical self-discovery and experimentation.

The Island Seeds is powered by the Home for Cooperation under its United by Sound program, with the mentorship and support of the Program Coordinator Lefteris Moumtzis. This program benefits from a grant under the Active Citizens Fund through the EEA and Norway Grants 2020-2024, financed by Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein

lyrics

Island Seeds - Stray Cat
V1
Stray Cat I envy you
You know no borders
Green eyes you cross the line
Obey no orders.

V2
Over walls, under wires
Playing with the shadows
Risking your many lives
To serve your desires.

V3
Hanging round in the sun
These streets are your quarter
What’s that curious sound
Behind the corner?

V4
Louis, Hendrix, Sergeant, Jazz
Known across the buffer
Find their names on the walls
But not in their folders.

CHORUS
Home
Where the moon is shining
Bright
Where I don’t need to
Fight
For a place to belong

V5
Be kedi, don’t you dare
Gozum ustunde
Ussu re pu dame
Quit with that stare

V6
Chipped tooth, crooked tail
Such charming glory
What’s your number? What’s your count?
Tell me your story.
CHORUS
Home
Where the moon is shining
Bright
Where I don’t need to
Fight
For a place to belong
High
Where I’m one
With the sky
All my troubles
aside
On a roof I belong

Outro - harmonies
Stay on the roof all night
Picking fights
Stay on the roof all night
You just might
Stay on the roof all night
Picking fights
Stay on the roof all night
You just might
All night - (Stay on the roof all night, picking fights)
All night – (Stay on the roof, you just might)
All night - (Stay on the roof all night, picking fights)
All night – (Stay on the roof, you just might)
Stay on the roof all night
Picking fights
Stay on the roof all night
You just might
Stay on the roof all night
Picking fights
Stay on the roof all night
You just might
All night - (Stay on the roof, all night picking fights)
All night – (Stay on the roof, you just might)
All night - (Stay on the roof, all night picking fights)
All night – (Stay on the roof, you just might
