about

The song was written after the Ferguson protests and the assassination of Michael Brown. It came also after another school mass shooting. Being in the US for only a few years at this time, that's when we came to realize America was dealing with a lot of things that were unresolved for decades and centuries. The growing appeal for conspiracies and alternative narratives took also a great part in writing this song. Ironically, in the music video, we tried to picture an invisible threat coming at people, something like a virus, destroying our community. Now that we are in an actual pandemic the song takes another meaning.

This is the last single before the release of our debut album "Feed the Moon".

lyrics

Hummingbird

It’s happening again
It’s not a crime to shoot a humming hovering around
It’s happening again in my town
They’re killing hummingbirds
Soaked in blood

I don’t believe you
When you said they attacked you
I don’t believe you now…

I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you

Oh Hallelujah, no offense
America, it was self-defense
It’s happening again in my town
A thousand hummingbirds
Bleeding out

I don’t believe you
When you said they attacked you
I don’t believe you now…
Well, I don’t believe you
They falling around you
I don’t believe you now…

I don’t believe you
When you said they attacked you
I don’t believe you
When you said they attacked you
I don’t believe you
When you said they attacked you
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
When you said they attacked you
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you

I don’t believe you
When you said they attacked you
I don’t believe you
When you said they attacked you

I don’t believe you
When you said they attacked you
I don’t believe you now…
Well, I don’t believe you
They falling around you
I don’t believe you now…
