πHappy 4th of July America❤️
That is an absolute anthem! Heavy Pulp's track "Sweet Land" delivers an incredibly powerful and timely message. Crafting a track that serves as an ode to America's monumental 250th year requires a lot of weight and emotion, and they nailed it.
Oh sweet land, sweet land of the weary and the wild. Oh where, oh where are you, my sweet? [
] 00:10 The garden's either dying or about to come alive. The river's either drying or it's deep enough to dive. Can't tell if it's the dusk or if it's breaking into dawn. Are we going on or are we going, going gone? [
] 00:43 Somebody said a storm is coming, but it's been a long, long time. I don't know what's up ahead, but please baby, don't you look behind. So tell me, is it going to be free energy forever, or just the same damn old crying? [
] 01:02 Singing sweet, sing sweet land of the weary and the wild. Are we one year from the grave, or is this just the beginning of my sweet child? Oh, you're my star-spangled dream—half a savior, half a liar. 250 stars and we're going higher, higher, higher. Sweeping, sweeping, going. [
] 01:18 The neighbors might be coming with a casserole or a gun. The kids are either screaming or they're laughing in the sun. Is the timeline coming undone, or is it coming in clear? The fireworks are blinding, but I'll keep on dancing here. [
] 02:10 And nobody can promise me that we're going to make it to the light. So is it an awakening, or is this a night in the night? So come on brother, sister, stand up tall, because guess what? Where we go one, we go all. [
] 02:27 If you can hear this from the other side, across this great quantum divide, don't get me wrong, now is the time to stay strong. So with all of that, I'll say God bless the USA. God bless the USA. [
] 02:52 Going on, going on. 250 years and it's going on, on and on. On the edge of a forever or the edge of being gone. Is it midnight? Is it morning? Is it ruining? Is it time to rise? 250 summers gone by, so just go on and tell me those sweet lies—the kind as sweet as these July skies. [
] 03:37 Going on and going on, sweet fire. Sweet land, sweet land, going on, going on. Sweet land, sweet land, going, going, gone. So please, just know that we can still rebuild. We can still make something (better). [
] 04:13
