The Hot Chip frontman’s new single releases are slow, beautiful but gently apocalyptic numbers that include references to the Covid epidemic and a look at religion through a distant lens. They also heralds his forthcoming solo album, Silence. An electronica remix of Dying In Heaven by Pierre Rousseau is also below. Out on Orbistor Records.
Are they crying in Heaven?
Over you
Or over us
Are you dying in Heaven?
Over you
Or over us
Is there a way we'll always remember?
Or will each day fade with us?
Are they praying in Heaven?
Or has its time, it's lost before us
As you pace through streets
On fire with anger and mistrust
Do we keep the peace
Or inquire, was that enough?
Help me keep my pace
'Cause tonight I've suffered enough
Are we losing faith?
Keep the dream alive
When its breathing is tough
Are they crying in Heaven?
Over you
Or over us
Are you dying in Heaven?
Over you
Or over us
Is there a way we'll always remember?
Or will each day fade with us?
Are they praying in Heaven?
Or has its time, it's lost before us
Can we keep this space?
We're apart, but we're struggling on
It's not in our nature
To keep at arm's length
When everything's wrong
Can you remove your mask
When the task asks you to stay true?
To all that's before us
Keep it clear, it's not Heaven in view
Are they crying in Heaven?
Over you
Or over us
Are you dying in Heaven?
Over you
Or over us
Is there a way we'll always remember?
Or will each day fade with us?
Are they praying in Heaven?
Or has its time, it's lost before us
