about

1,000 Red Guitars is the last studio track from SBL to finish the 2018 year off on a scorching anthemic note. We believe that the lyrics speak louder than words when it comes to the "about this track", well, louder than other words we could share to give the listener an inside understanding of the narrative." Be strong girl, be strong!".

lyrics

One Thousand Red Guitars

They make things to get broken
They make things to lose their way
They make things to get broken
They make things that long to fly away
I’m a bag of light with holes in it
Got my suitcase packed with Mayday
This was just a test anyway -

1,000 women -
one thousand red guitars
1,000 women -
one thousand red guitars
drown out all your sorrows
all your suffering,
1,000 women
one thousand red guitars
drown out all your sorrows
all your suffering
one thousand women with
one thousand red guitars

All work and no play
Gonna take my breath away,
All work and no play
Gonna make me go numb
Gotta go away before you come home
Gotta be blind before you see
Metronome sashay
& the rain gets lost in the sea…

One day you gonna blossom
One day you gonna break
One day you gonna blossom
One day you gonna break
One day you gonna blossom
One day you gonna break
One day you gonna blossom
One day you gonna break

Part of Me’s awake
Part of Me’s asleep
Part of me is shallow
A part of me is deep
Most of me is water
Some of me is bone
Part of me is childhood
Part of me is gone
I feel most in the darkness
But the light reminds me of you
Samsara got me pinned down & blue …
1,000 women -
one thousand red guitars
1,000 women -
one thousand red guitars
drown out all your sorrows
all your suffering
1,000 women
one thousand red guitars
drown out, all your sorrows
all your suffering
one thousand women
one thousand red guitars

Everything you need has arrived
Kick the beast out of the hive
It just gonna take you down alive
And words just let you carry it ‘round
& cryin’ just seems to water it all down
We're often awaken by being shaken
Be strong girls!
