The chorus is a mantra of desire and reality that seems particularly prescient in this limbo that most of us are currently living and sees Sarakula sing &#8220;Sunshine makes me lose my mind, thirty degrees and my eyes get so wide. Dreaming big and living slow, don&#8217;t you know that time is on our side&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3919\"
