Hongo by Tender Ender
Light-footed, pulsating and carefree, «Hongo» gropes in the dark when it comes to the question of right and wrong. Don’t fear scrutiny, fear who’s in charge, because “nothing else is to fear but your own mind”. Fearless are those who understand deception as a force of enlightenment. Lost are those who believe everything they think. And so, this vibrant song morphs into a danceable track before it melts down in a vortex of violins and mini-moogs and finally enters eternal rotation. Fans of Lynch and other mind-expanding substances will get their fill here. «Hongo» is Spanish for ‘mushroom’. This is the first single release from «Tender Ender».

Lyrics
Did you ever dare
To step out, out of line
I take you by the hand, oh
What if you would get
What I got to say
Apart from a sad tune, oh
Nothing else is to fear
But your own, your own mind
Nothing else is to fear
But your own, your own mind
Would you ever believe
A thing you haven’t seen
With your own, your own eyes, oh
Nothing else is to fear
But your own, your own mind
Nothing else is to fear
But your own, your own mind
