Broken World

I've just discovered The Interrupters and am loving their new album, especially this song. It's simple, repetitive, and a bit shout-y. The lyrics advocate radical kindness and revolutionary empathy, and are so naively optimistic you can't tell if they're foolish or wise (or both); you just find yourself wanting to believe in them anyway.

(...so, basically it's like someone rolled my essence into a 2 minute and 42 second punk song that I will now proceed to play on repeat for the next week.)

Reminder from Cape Spear


The guns of war have rusted and the dandelions grow.
Junk metal and a small, persistent weed.
Much of the world is strange to me but this I know:
Agents of destruction will one day be laid low
And a restless wind bears forth rebellion’s seed.
