about
In a world so well geared towards a sedated and pacified existence, new single from Miles Recommends 'Keep it Warm' is a fog-horn reminder to keep your wits about you and the fires of hope burning bright.
“Human history follows the perpetual cycles of the birth, conquests/greed, and then death of the less scrupulous. It’s all blood, gold and bone and this history continually repeats itself. But that doesn’t mean we should be placated by their shallow thoughts and promises. Trust your instincts and above all, keep those fires in your belly warm.” - Des Atkinson
Beginning with Lou’s haunting and sultry vocals before exploding with the fiery unhinged wailings of Des, Keep it Warm is a slow burning fuse that delivers a one-two punch of fury ignited by the duos simple songwriting premise of “why create two good songs when you can create one epic song instead?” Keep it Warm is the title track from the forthcoming debut full-length album from Miles Recommends, due for release in early 2020.
lyrics
Say you’ve got a moment baby
Try to tell me all you’ve said and done
Any wonder why I’d care
I should know, I should know, I should know
Coming down from all your stories
you don’t even notice for yourself
If there’s any right in wrong
It takes hold, it gets old, it gets old
Only know what we know
All crying (what is gone is gone)
I can’t stop listening to you
All trying (blood and gold and bone - cause it’s broke)
Stand aside your hunger baby
You don’t even notice for yourself
There’s a deeper light inside
Keep it warm, keep it warm, keep it warm
All crying (what is gone is gone)
I can’t stop listening to you
All trying (blood and gold and bone - cause it’s broke)
When they just bring me down baby, turn it out honey
Bring it back now slowly
Ohhhhhhh…
All crying (what is gone is gone)
I can’t stop listening to you
All trying (blood and gold and bone – oh babe cause it’s broke)
And you know, that it’s darkest before
You will see the dawn…
I want nothing that’s easy
And wanting nothing is easy sure
But Wall Street dogs can suck my balls
If they think I’m drinking from their pissing jars, let it go
I want to change my game, so it’s easy to roll the show
I went down to the city
I’m a needle in ground and that’s all
But golden thrones and fat belly wars
Means I’m one small prick that’s enough to draw, let’s go
And lonely demons play, but now we’re dancing toe to toe
It’s darker my friend but you will see the dawn
It’s darker my friend but you will see the dawn
