about

January 27, 2017
The new moon was literally overhead (in Aquarius) when we wrote this song. I was thinking about the duality of gifts you get when an era ends and you’re left in the dark: “there’s so much you can see — at least now, now we know who we are.” I wanted it to feel like a new American anthem, and all the discordant saxophones felt exactly right.

lyrics

New moon on the ruin 

Like a black light

With a neon eye

At least now

Now we know

Who we are

New moon

Heard you’re bulletproof 

With your watch wind 

Shaking out the truth 

There’s so much

We can see
In the dark

At least now

Now we know

Who we are

ON A MOONLESS NIGHT 

YOU ARE THE LIGHT

New moon

Heard you’re trading truth

On the kill floor

Of the cutting room

It’s a shame

What we waste

In the dark

At least now

Now we know

ON A MOONLESS NIGHT 

YOU ARE THE LIGHT
