BURN

Standard song structures give way to raw feeling and emotions which serve the subject matter perfectly.

about

Kevin came up with some pounding subs, gritty sequencers and fierce drums. Diane responded with some killer samples, scraping noises and scratchy keyboard riffs. She packed it all up and went to her home in Greece, where she proceeded to stitch it all together. She discovered that the stone walls in her house made for lovely acoustics when she recorded her singing—the vocals in the verses are ‘dry’—and she captured the sound of cicadas in her garden one horrifically hot afternoon and threw them into the mix. Meanwhile, she and Kevin talked online about the devastating fires, in Greece and all around this sad and angry world of ours. Slowly, the subject matter took shape.

lyrics

BURN
Small boats.
Big lies.
Agendas in disguise.
Red mist.
Small minds.
The dirt gets in your eyes.
Redtop headlines
Grow fear of other kinds.
Red hands
Won minds
Take back the borderlines.
No lies.
No whys.
Just things to learn by heart.
Shared views.
Short fuse.
They’ll tear the world apart.
And they all go together
Under a spell.
All go together
Go straight to hell.
Dead bees
Charred trees
And fifty-five degrees.
Made-up disease.
No trust in expertise.
Not woke.
Not broke.
The ones they couldn’t gag.
Cocksure
Dirt poor
Waving a tattered flag.
And they all go together
Lost in their spell
But we’ll all fall together
Fall straight to hell.
Misled.
Hope dead.
The dirt gets in your heart.
Control your soul.
They’ll tear your world apart.
They can all go together
All go to hell.
All go together
Go straight to hell.
