FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hands Clapping is the second single from AWSDOTR’s forthcoming studio album Deathbed Lullabies, to be released in autumn 2020. The single is set for world-wide release on July 17th.
It’s sad enough when the World is blind to your suffering. But it's when those who matter the most to you fail to see your pain that hurting reaches new dimensions. The more the pain consumes you, the bigger your need to share it. The less you get to share it, the more it becomes you. Hands Clapping is a melancholic reminder of the difference our love and kindness to one another, or the lack of it, really makes. Or as the song goes, “I hurt easy, I just don’t show it. You can hurt someone and not even know it.” (Dylan, B., Things Have Changed). Some of us are made stout, with thick skins and resilient hearts. Others more like brittle dandelions in the fiercest of the storms. But underneath we all have the need to be seen and recognized. And even more importantly, our failure to give as much to people around us makes us co-responsible for whatever the outcome of their suffering.

Hands Clapping
Hands clapping, bodies swaying, in a praise
Noone here hears what you’re saying, all ablaze
The preacher’s been too busy praying to see your pain
No good news will ever come your way, and still you wait
Under the blue moon
Under the sun
We’re born to run brother run sister run
Before I wake my day is done
And all I need is love
Grind those knees, save your soul! Night n day
Or sell it for that secret chord? Hell awaits!
Road so long, so long, so long, all mud and clay
Close your tired eyes and sing a song, and drift away
Under the blue moon
Under the sun
We’re born to run brother run sister run
Before I wake my time has come
To say my goodbyes

AWSDOTR to release new gloomy single Hands Clapping
And We Should Die Of That Roar releases new single Hands Clapping on JULY 17th.
And We Should Die Of That Roar is a one-man musical soirée, instigated and run since 2014 by guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Hardy Hum. Hardy’s music has been described as “incredibly innovative” (Pure M Magazine), “truly unique and powerful” (Res Magazine) with an immediately distinguishable sound that is “drenched in whiskey, aged with smoke and fired with emotion and power” (ibid). This, however, is but a dark echo of a more distant past...
