Description
sound & fury
Despite its title, repeated in the chorus, Sound & Fury is all mournful resignation about the future of the planet. From the ironic distance of lines about the romantic glow of flushed fields, burning with oil fires, to the dashed hope of ‘I tell there is promise in the air … oh dear’, the song talks of ecological disaster in retrospect, after it is already too late. Even the choir of children has nothing of Greta Thunberg’s outrage over stolen futures, singing only sweetly, as if to comfort themselves since there is no point doing anything else.

sweet walk
a summer shade
half asleep
carried all day
shake off
icing dust
another year
is suddenly here
—
stand up
there is no duck
withdrawn from our system
we wasted our luck
eyes glow…
suns arise
the fields are flushed
romantic scenes
advertised in rose
—-
a slip of paper
burning leaves
before our storm
do you remember snow?
sound & fury
is all I feel
how thick a tree did fell?
everyone knows Shell is hell
I tell there is promise of air
I think
I stoop
oh dear…
wake up
a tunnelled room
where did the sky go?
turn on display
eyes glow…
suns arise
the fields are flushed
romantic scenes
advertised in rose
A slip of paper
burning leaves
before our storm
try to remember snow
sound & fury
is that all I feel
how thick a tree did fell
everyone knows Shell is hell
I tell there is promise of air
a chill
I stoop
oh dear…
