about

This song is a vision of the future as it might be. The future we're currently heading towards. We didn't write this song to get on a soapbox. We wrote it because we're scared.

lyrics

Old To New

It’s a strange strange world we live in
whispered cries an unheard call
as the white land turns to green
will we say farewell to it all
it’s a strange strange life we’re leading
as the waves wash through the street
as a wake fans out from every car
then it’s burning concrete
baking heat

It’s a strange strange life we’re leading
something changing in the mall
as the cooling air dies
exits jam
say farewell to it all
crowded shops now growing silent
queuing over changing times
empty words that glowed above our heads
household names on unread signs

wake me up now let’s start again
let’s change the story
hold the end

There’s a growing dark blue ocean
and it’s gathering new light
let me pause and end
rewind again
turn blue green back to white
it’s a strange strange life we’re leading
move away from what we knew
when the time to change is closing now
lest the story end
just passing through

wake me up now
let’s start again
let’s change the story
hold the end
wake me up now
let’s start again
let’s change the future
lest it end

about

Keynes Brothers Melbourne, Australia

We're an Australian acoustic duo drawing inspiration from folk and folk rock with some blues thrown in.

Our lyrics centre on modern life covering topics from social commentary to love and humour. Sometimes they're semi autobiographical and sometimes they're about events outside our lives or about nothing much at all except what you see.
