And We Should Die Of That Roar drops new rootsy outlaw country single Darkness Calling Me on Augusti 21st.
Darkness Calling Me is the sixth single from AWSDOTR’s forthcoming full-length album Deathbed Lullabies.
Darkness Calling Me is a studio version of a song with the same title recorded live for 24NT TV in 2017. This is a song about life as a punishment of unending suffering caused by the loss of a loved one. The loss and the pain that it causes defines all dimensions of existence turning the sufferer into an undesirable creature no one can cope with. The unending yet unrealizable yearning for the return of the loved one transcends the burden of loss into a burden of loss AND eternal solitude.
Recorded in Old Cuntry Road Studio, Sweden
Recording, mixing, production: Hardy Hum
Lyrics & music. Hardy Hum

Darkness Calling Me
Like a car chase down the Gimme-all-your-money-lane
Rolled-up dollar bill to kill the pain
I don’t know… and I don’t care!
I’m where everybody’s dreams go to die
Straitjacket of liberty, now everybody’s insane
Yeah you can polish thy turd
But it smells just the same
I don’t know… and I don’t care
I’m where everybody’s dreams go to die
Down at the river we got no secrets to keep
See water is all nice and clear now
But it’s way way too deep
I don’t know… and I don’t care
I’m where everybody’s dreams go to die
Dear father there is one thing
I really need you to know
See, you got to let me in
Or just let me go!
Now I know… and I care…
I’m where everybody’s dreams go to die
Darkness calling me

AWSDOTR to release new outlaw country single DARKNESS CALLING ME
To immediate release
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.
