Sorry we listened to people who made excuses, Sorry that we were too caught up in our own doings to do something. Sorry, sorry we left you our mess of a planet.

I think I speak for the rest of us when I say, By a dying star, to a burning tree, you were bound by your hair and I left you there, where we used to meet, to see how we would look in the dying light, to see how good you look in my dying light there with me, with the whitest hare, with me in the blackness, with the pink eyes, in the blackest hole.“I can speak of a man who knows that the world is not given by his parents but borrowed from his children, who has undertaken to cherish it and do it no damage not because he is duty bound, but because he loves the world and loves his children” Wendell Berry, Environmental Activist, 1971 Dear Future Generations: Sorry – Prince Ea Down the blackest hole, chase the wraith and flee for his pale pink eyes still belong to me. Bound, by dying stars, to a burning tree you give searing stares, tied up by your hair where we used to meet to see how we would look in the dying light. In the blackest hole hid the whitest hare, with his pale, pink eyes, you knew were once mine. But as artists, we can't do that because it would only hinder our creativity."īodies arrives on June 11 - pre-orders are available now. Some fans are going to judge a new album or a new song based on what's come before. Every time we do something, I have to judge it on its own merits. We do certain things, just by virtue of who we are, that are consistent, but those things come about organically.

The rocker added of Bodies, "Anyone who knows our catalog knows that no two records really sit together. "This is not only my favorite song on the record, but an exemplification of the evolution of the band," Jade Puget, AFI's guitarist, said of "Tied to a Tree." Listen to the song and read its lyrics down toward the bottom of this post. With gentle acoustic guitars and a chorus that opens up into a swell of ethereal but somewhat ominous energy, the number takes AFI's emo and post-hardcore past and turns it on its head. The new track is something of a departure - or an evolution - for the veteran California rockers known as A Fire Inside, a point the group has noted themselves.
