Track five on Big Hug, featuring Malik LovesYall (the same collaborator who co-wrote All in the Feeling). Luke wrote, performed, and mixed; October 2021, also released as a standalone single. It’s the chill counterweight to the LP’s anxiety satire: less Don’t Worry breakdown, more domestic-bliss fantasy. The hook stacks the pun, kick it in pajamas and getting wavy with that good grass on the way to kick it in nirvana, bliss state and band-name joke at once. Same SoCal weed thread as I Live in California, but romantic instead of rent satire.
The first half is room-bound love, waking up at noon and probably never even really left the room except for sun and breeze, with care offered as cooking rather than hustle. The middle plays stoned phone etiquette for a laugh: Mother Mary present / can’t be all wilding when I talk on the phone, the sacred name treated as a roommate you have to whisper around. Malik’s verse goes cosmic-athletic, body-and-nature meditation that lands on an adobe-colored goddess and a utopian close, grow vegetables while we tend the seas… nourish many nations with our legacy. Garden as world-building, Big Hug softness at scale.
Pairs with Heffalumps and Woozles and All in the Feeling as the LP’s collaborator stretch, the first record where guests enter without breaking the Scoobert shell (Big Hug essay).
Written, performed, and mixed by Luke Francis Walton. Featuring Malik LovesYall. Mastered by Riley Knapp.
Lyrics
I wanna kick it in pajamas I wanna chill and watch the world pass Just you and me an marijuana Getting wavy with that good grass I wanna take you to nirvana Yeah kick it in nirvana I wanna I really wanna Get cozy and sleep late with you Be in pajamas with tree Wake up at noon Probably never even really left the room Except to see sun Breath breeze That's cool Bare feet up in the grass When I kick it with you We can chill Let me chef you some food Replenish the soul with some greens and stew Take off into orbit Going under the blue Moon is ever present Let us be in the mood I wanna Well Mother Mary present I can't be all wilding When I talk on the phone I got to whisper silent Cuz we get to excited When we thinking like this Got to come together Got to get you and I am Let me really tell you What I'm wishing that I did I wanna kick it in pajamas I wanna chill and watch the world pass Just you and me an marijuana Getting wavy with that good grass I wanna take you to nirvana Yeah kick it in nirvana I wanna I wanna sleep Wake up Live incredible dreams Dipping Tripping in the ocean Feeling the stream Feel the wind blowing On the mountainous peaks Slip into the water Take a dip into the sea Relax and take time to ease the mind Feel into the body Let the spine untwine Feel the universe created our design Adobe-colored goddess Can we build one time? Foundation like an optimal primer We make up our own We make our own time-a Go out to the links That they cannot reach Giannis in the paint I'm earning bars to thee So much beauty in how we meet Grow vegetables while we tend the seas Watch them grow into incredible beings Nourish many nations with our legacy I wanna kick it in pajamas I wanna chill and watch the world pass Just you and me an marijuana Getting wavy with that good grass I wanna take you to nirvana Yeah kick it in nirvana I wanna
