This song was built from the drum rhythm up, which is the reverse to my normal ways of doing things. The lyrics were inspired after reading 'the Road' by Cormac McCarthy

lyrics

There's a knife in my heart and a storm in my head
where our consciences meet there our politics end
in a candle of fear that explodes like a bomb
and the aftershocks ring with a rhythm that beats like a drum

It all came crashing down
but I never meant any harm
just wanted to get away
and God help you if I ever come here again

Carbon monoxide a cloud overhead
that erases the sun and raises the dead
how the blood on my hands bears the reassuring weight of a gun

It all came crashing down
but I never meant any harm
just wanted to get away
and God help you if I ever come here again

Turn around now you've got to turn and run away

Fronz Arp Brisbane, Australia

The strange machine which is Fronz Arp grinds like a tattered, angry little hurdy gurdy. With dramatic jaunt and seesawing melodies that have been compared to weird-pop wonders, such as David Bowie and Tom Waits

“...songs full of drama and action, designed to get pulses racing and yet still sounding both intricate and adventurous” Rave Magazine
