about

The gentle song, with several points of reference. A touch of Nico’s Chelsea Girls, and also Leonard Cohen’s adaptation of The Partisan, the anti-fascist anthem about the French Resistance. Fighting for our revolution is work that never stops, as we have come this far, let’s hope the people don’t give up on us now.

lyrics

The time is coming we must leave tonight,
These city lights are fading out of sight.
There won’t be peace until this battle’s won
We’ll keep on burning for our sacred sun
The day we met you we could feel your fire
You spoke of all the things your dreams inspired
Well now it’s time to pass these lessons on
And help our people so they’re marching strong
Your speeches like fine melodies, as sweet as falling rain
We’re gonna smash our pain into a million pieces
And we’ll sing our song again.
I know things feel wild right now but
These are how dreams are made.

Alarms are ringing, we can’t trust this town
Supply chain broken from the underground
With food and water maybe last a week
For surely this our final losing streak
And I thought I’d tell you something I know
We can trust him when he’s alone
I know there’ll be finer hours soon
And we’re gonna make it home
I know things look wild right now but
These are how dreams are made

Now people don’t you turn away
Oh, people don’t you turn away
All you people don’t you turn away
Turn away from us
Ah people don’t you turn away
I pray the people they don’t turn away
I pray the people they don’t turn away
I pray the people they don’t turn away from us
I pray the people they don’t turn away
I pray the people they don’t turn away from me
from me, from me, ahh from me
[Round]
I pray the people they don’t turn away [crossed]
I know things look wild right now but These are how dreams are made
These is how dreams are made [Etc.]
So don’t you turn away from me.

about

Dubrow image

Dubrow Reservoir, Australia

I was the singer / songwriter with iNsuRge, Soulscraper, & Blackbreaks, and this is my solo project: Dubrow.

I like layering beats, synths, noise and distortion, with some real instruments

The music is also political, because all good music is. We either sing for the revolution, or sing for all the things to stay the same ... more
