You won't hear the silence

from We Are The Foxes by The Bookshop Band

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The Bookshop Band release WE ARE THE FOXES, their second album of 2016, inspired by a collection of books that revolve around stories of cities and those who live in them, curated by their local independent bookshop Mr B’s Emporium of Reading Delights. The songs were first performed in front of the authors themselves at the bookshop’s events.

    The city-tales that inspire this album span both time and continents; from the seedy printing worlds of London’s Victorian backstreets in MJ Carter’s novel The Infidel Stain, to the Australian high rises in Tim Winton’s Eyrie. The band sing on urban life through the many different lenses each book gives, via the lives of a household in Armistead Maupin’s groundbreaking Tales of the City series, to through the eyes of the foxes that roam the streets in Ned Beauman’s GLOW.

about

Inspired by Quesadillas, by Juan Pablo Villalobos.

lyrics

My father is clever but stubborn
So he never gives in
We had a chance to escape
This shit we live in
Can’t tell if we are poor
Or simply growing
This line’s so fine we dine on
Whatever’s going
My family think I’m a liar
Reality burns like the fire
Listen you wont hear the silence
The rich they get to eat
As much as they like
No idea that I take because it’s a fight
For survival in this box of nonsense
Noticed for the wrong and not the right
My family think I’m a liar
Reality burns like the fire
Listen you wont hear the silence
Confusion it feels like losing
It leads to bruising
Losing to the rich is just confusing
Impossible to be free in your choices
Suffocates the mind hearing these voices
Listen you won’t hear the silence
