TUNYA - 'Don't Wait' - A film by Lanre Malaolu

Описание: ‘DON’T WAIT’ is a collaboration between award-winning director/choreographer Lanre Malaolu, and actor Regé-Jean Page (performing as half of musical duo TUNYA).

Conceived in the midst of the long, hard summer of 2020; Lanre’s visceral choreography meets Regé-Jean’s swooning love song, and re-mixes it into an explosively physical, intensely personal journey - an intimate missive straight from the broken hearts of young black men - battling through desolation, rage, confusion and ultimately bruising vulnerability. ‘Don’t Wait’ confronts how we learn to cope with, and grow beyond, the imperfect legacy and enormous grief the world inevitably throws at us all.

DON’T WAIT

Sweet, sweet sun

Shine!

I couldn’t wait
Darling
To hold you in these arms
I couldn’t wait

I couldn’t wait

Darling
To keep you
Quite as warm,
Warm as I would have liked

But I’ll soft speak
On the wind
And I
Won’t let you fall apart
If you hold me
Inside
Sweet sweet sun
Please
Shine

The first time I met you
I felt that I could fall into the sun
And still feel the light
Of your eyes
To guide me home

The first time.

The first time I met you
I felt like my life had just begun
Born again,
A better man, a better man
For you

And I’ll be around
On the wind
And I’ll guide you through the night
If you
You call me out
I will hold your hand
I never meant for you to
Stumble

Stumble
and fall
Without me

Oh, there’s a song in you
All that I never taught
I never thought
I’d have to

I wish I could
More than anything
I want to hear
Oh,
What a song you are


And don’t sing
Like you let me down
You couldn’t
Let me down
And don’t feel
Like you let me down
You could never
Let me down

Don’t ever feel
Like a fool

In those blessed moments
When you fall into the truth


Sweet sweet sun

Of mine

Shine.
