about
Black Heart is the title track from US-based Aotearoa musician Miriam Clancy's imminent album Black Heart out February 3rd ⚡️
~~~•~~~•~~~
"Black Heart" transports the listener back in time to an 80s-esque musical capsule - urgent, haunting vocals deliver naked and imploring lyrics, its big synth-heavy chorus crescendos, then pulls back like a wave on the sand, called back to the ocean. Miriam says, "'Black Heart' is a sonic document about being a part of a war machine, becoming collateral damage on a road that you cannot reverse."
lyrics
⚡︎ lyrics ⚡︎
Black Heart tells a story
Blood and war on the battleground
Man down
In fact all around
See the dawn
Though you left a trail
Who will love you now, Sailor?
Who will love you now, Sailor?
Move slow, like an animal
Diamond dogs, merely loose change
Doomed heart
I told you not to feel
Lest the boy slip through your willing hands
Who will love you now, Sailor?
Who will love you now, Sailor?
Who will love you now, Sailor?
Oh Sailor - black hearted
How shall I love the black hearted?
Black Heart tells a story
Diamond dogs
Merely loose change
