about

An internal deep-dive into mortality and existence. The importance of the experience of life and being present.

lyrics

Set myself alight, now I don’t know if I’m the only one who ever gets it right
But I'm head long in fire, and if all the things they say of me
come true then I guess I must be a liar, as they conspire
all my misdeeds, my in-betweens, get swallowed up by this funeral pyre

It burns my skin like a solar flare
Just because its unseen
That doesn’t mean that its not there
In the end we’re all laid bare

Tear myself apart, no I’m not waiting on your validation for my life to start
And I won’t just expire, got no thoughts of burning up then out
I guess its all done bar the shouting

It burns my skin like a solar flare
Just because its unseen
That doesn’t mean that its not there
In the end we’re all laid bare

na na nana na na na na
na na nana na na na na
na na nana na na na na

Just carbon wrapped in lies
I can see through this fools disguise
Return us to the brooding skies
No matter how we try we’ll never equalise
But oh my god how we try

The veil slips from our eyes reality floods our minds
we’re grains of sand on a beach used for measuring time
The veil slips from our eyes reality floods our minds
we’re grains of sand on a beach used for measuring time

Just carbon wrapped in lies
I can see through this fools disguise
Return us to the brooding skies
No matter how we try we’ll never equalise
But oh my god how we try

about

Hemingway Norwich, UK

Five piece Indie rock outfit with soft focus.

A sound that has heralded comparisons to The National, Suede, The Cure right back to the organic sounding bucolic earthiness of a freshly conceived U2. With shimmering spangly guitars that echo Jonny Marr, solid bass and rumbling rolling drums . Anthems are their stock in trade and they have them in significant numbers. ... more
