Lyrics
Intro
Mm
Mm-hmm
Oh
Verse 1
Grandma kept a jukebox spinning vinyl in the hall
Forty-fives of the old mariachi bands
Cumbia on a Sunday morning after church bells call
She said the rhythm runs deeper than the sand
I found a dusty tape deck underneath the stairs
Spliced together stories with a razor blade
My uncle's laughter cut between the trumpet flares
Every scratch a memory that never fades
Pre-Chorus
And I'm spinning
Spinning
Spinning it back around
Chorus
Tha earth remembers everything
Tha earth remembers every sound
Every footstep every heartbeat
Tha earth remembers what we found
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Verse 2
Traded cassette tapes for a crate of old records
Samples stacked like river stones in the mud
Drum machine pulse like the rain on the porch steps
Talking over basslines in my blood
My pops used to mix in the backyard when it rained
Turntables under a blue tarp tent
He taught me that a scratch is a language not a stain
Every crackle tells you where the record went
Pre-Chorus
And I'm spinning
Spinning
Spinning it back around
Chorus
Tha earth remembers everything
Tha earth remembers every sound
Every footstep every heartbeat
Tha earth remembers what we found
Bridge
Soil holds the dust of the ones before us
Wax holds the hiss of the ones who sang
I'm just a needle tracing out the chorus
Of a song that's been humming since the world began
Chorus
Tha earth remembers everything
Tha earth remembers every sound
Every footstep every heartbeat
Tha earth remembers what we found
Outro
Mm
Mm-hmm
Spinning
Spinning
