about

Firebomb is our second single of 2021.

The song is about feeling profound sadness after seeing footage of a chick being ‘debeaked’ as part of the process of factory farming. About prompting the conversation about using a diversity of tactics when working for positive change, whatever that might be.

The melody of the song was made from bass harmonics, the softer, higher overtones created when you press lightly n the strings. Simple but joyful.

lyrics

Seven scenes, seven scenes,
seven scenes dominate my mind
i know its weird, its our worst fear
But I can't shake it
If I close my eyes
Take a sharp inhale
And I take a step to the side
I couldn't stomach a part of it
And I wouldn't force a smile

And if you seen me before
I'd take a bet you'd say no
And if i may be so bold
I think that we both know

Feels like we try too hard
With no tangible achievements
You're miles more likely to get knocked down in the road
Its easy, it's something we believe in, believe in

Seven scenes, seven scenes, seven scenes dominate my mind
Our fate is sealed with a ready meal
But I can't shake it, if I close my eyes
Take a sharp inhale, and I take a step to the side
I couldn't stomach a part of it
And I wouldn't force a smile

And if you seen me before
I'd take a bet you'd say no
And if i may be so bold
I think that we both know

Feels like we try too hard
With no tangible achievements
You're miles more likely to get knocked down in the road
Its easy, it's something we believe in, believe in

Do you wanna help me with my little firebomb?
Incendiary's no good need to try a molotov
Do you wanna help me with my little firebomb?
I'll soak the rags and you can strike the matches
