Artist picture
Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
Tourmaline is a crystalline boron silicate mineral compounded with elements such as aluminium, iron, magnesium, sodium, lithium, or potassium. So there you go
Lyrics
Late afternoon is a peacock's tail Shimmering by Colours are scattered like coins from a fountain Of fire A moment of liquid solidifies A droplet of time And she trips in, left of centre A true love of mine The hand of the sculptress draws treasures From deep in the earth Tracing with crystalline facets The stones of our birth Carven chalcedony creatures Spiral in line And dark lapis lazuli whispers A true love of mine Like a bough without a tree Tree without a bird Bird without a sea Sea without rhythm Rhythm without a beat Beat without a heart Heart without love Love without a kiss A kiss without a dream Dream without sleep Sleep without waking Waking without life Life without limb Limb without a bough Oh Tourmaline Oh my Tourmaline Like an isle on dry land Land without earth Earth without a harvest Harvest without fruit Fruit without a vine Vine without rainfall Rain without a cloud Cloud without a sky Sky without air Air without heat Heat without light Light without the sun Sun without the moon Moon without a stone Stone without a ring My ring without her hand I'll never understand Land without earth Earth without a harvest Harvest without fruit Fruit without a vine Vine without rainfall Rain without a cloud Cloud without a sky Sky without air Air without heat Heat without the sun Sun without the moon Moon without a stone Stone without a ring My ring without her hand Oh my Tourmaline Oh my Tourmaline

Glad you told me what the title meant. I would have never known. I can hear the Floyd and late Beatles in this. Do I love this.....do I have to say it again.
