（单词翻译）

Ben Cooper is more than just a musician: he’s a storyteller, and a good one at that. Cooper, who previously1 was one-half of Electric President, brings his voice to the table as Radical2 Face and has now completed the second installation of his musical trilogy, The Family Tree.
The Family Tree centers around Cooper’s fascination3 with history, genealogy4 and fictional5 events. Although the story of the Northcotes is more mythology6 than history, Cooper has taken elements from people in his life to create this musical story.

歌词：

Song：Summer Skeletons
Artist：Radical Face

We were sun-burned and shoeless kids
It was the dead of July
We were skippin' stones in the failing light
I smelled the fire place
Although we were miles away
We were infinite
There was no time in those days

When all we knew wasn't stolen
There was nothing real to lose
When our heads were still simple
We'd sleep beneath the moon
You were something
That would always be around
When regrets were nowhere to be found

Lost out among the trees
Our hands scraped the bark
You still had bloody knees
From your spill in the dark
We were both laughing then
While carving bad words in the wood
We had no need to speak

Night, down by the shore
We were down by the shore
When the skies opened up
And all the stars fell into the lake
When the water was warm
Walked in over my head
But you pulled me out by the collar of my shirt

Dirt in our ears, sun in our eyes
Shirts hung in rags, head in the clouds
Our fears had no teeth, hearts were still blind
You barely talked and I didn't mind
