about

This song is about how little time we have left to save ourselves from ourselves. The superheroes aren't coming. It's up to us.

lyrics

Stepping Back

Ground beneath you shaking
mountain grey gum leaves the sky
fear returning
dark rock burning
dread talks
hope replies
dreaming of a world
where all that grew once grows again
will we sing then

Cracking ground
a ring barked tree
ice slides into the sea
Chaco Canyon sunrise
empty halls
where crowds have been
calling for a time
when all that’s warm now cools again
did they pray then

we won’t need a miracle
if we stop here and step back
we won’t need perfection
we just stop here and step back
we won’t need a saviour
or a leader
when we change we live again

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.
