A NEW HOPE
from HOPE PORN by NETHERLANDS
lyrics
first they’re gonna eat ya up
then they’re gonna shit ya out
then they’re gonna run amok
then they’re gonna scream and shout
(so let’s) rock it like a call to arms
wear it like a hell toupée
sing it like a car alarm
sell it like a latter day!
maybe so,
but maybe not.
ya only own it mid disaster, cuz ya hafta, pre catastrophe!
take a lap around the yard
spend the summer on the couch
marathon the Amazon
cozy underneath the rug
everything is going to hell!
+ everything is going to plan
cuz everybody’s got a price,
when everybody feeds the man.
(so let’s) monkeywrench a barbecue
complicate a Super Bowl
everybody home, from school
+ let the women run the show!
maybe so,
but maybe not.
ya only own it mid disaster, when ya hafta, pre catastrophe!
let it go,
or make it stop.
ya only own it when it’s
close enough to home to foil your apathy!
que sera,
sera, sera.
suffocation cuz the air is more important than philosophy,
close enough to home to foil your apathy!
hot enough to burn ya, got the third degree,
disaster, when ya hafta, pre catastrophe!
rock it like a call to arms,
we’re never gonna go away!
sing it like a car alarm!
yeah!
then they’re gonna shit ya out
then they’re gonna run amok
then they’re gonna scream and shout
(so let’s) rock it like a call to arms
wear it like a hell toupée
sing it like a car alarm
sell it like a latter day!
maybe so,
but maybe not.
ya only own it mid disaster, cuz ya hafta, pre catastrophe!
take a lap around the yard
spend the summer on the couch
marathon the Amazon
cozy underneath the rug
everything is going to hell!
+ everything is going to plan
cuz everybody’s got a price,
when everybody feeds the man.
(so let’s) monkeywrench a barbecue
complicate a Super Bowl
everybody home, from school
+ let the women run the show!
maybe so,
but maybe not.
ya only own it mid disaster, when ya hafta, pre catastrophe!
let it go,
or make it stop.
ya only own it when it’s
close enough to home to foil your apathy!
que sera,
sera, sera.
suffocation cuz the air is more important than philosophy,
close enough to home to foil your apathy!
hot enough to burn ya, got the third degree,
disaster, when ya hafta, pre catastrophe!
rock it like a call to arms,
we’re never gonna go away!
sing it like a car alarm!
yeah!

about
NETHERLANDS Brooklyn, New York
formed by Timo Ellis in 2010, NETHERLANDS magic lies in the contrasts it sets up: falsetto vocals, odd time signatures, and haunting hooks transform their monstrous power into weirdly delicious and dynamic songs. The overall effect is not unlike that of Swans and Dio playing simultaneously, atop an actual mountain of MDMA. ... more

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thousupported by 21 fans who also own “A NEW HOPE”
I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately.
