about

Violent Bets is a song about the chemical rush we feel when we fall in love. The heightened state of sensitivity. The obsessive thought-loop. The violent bets to an imagined future. Do you really feel these things? Do you feel the weight you’re bearing?

Loads of awesome people involved in this; Judy Blank singing some harmonies, Giles Stelfox on drums, Matt Phillips & Tom Millar helping with all the guitars, Sam Winfield making it all sound glorious.

Big love as always to AWAL/Kobalt, Maximal Music Sync, Music Table Korea. for helping this get out there.

lyrics

Better off this time
On the surface
Baby’s got a heavy mind
And a phone for burning

Do you really feel these things?
Feel the weight your bearing?
Will the mystery end
Before beginning?

Prise inside my mind
Tell me what you see
Because I’ve been dying to find
What’s inside of me

Are we in a fever dream
I think I’m falling inwards
‘cause where the river ends
You can’t conceal it

Oh you were saccharine
Great Creeks of crystal
But look ahead and see
You won’t hold the distance to

Prise inside my mind
Tell me what you see
Because I’ve been dying to find
What’s inside of me

These violent bets are so revealing
But when the fever ends, love, I’ll still be listening
