Nana AdjoaAbout
I feel that neo-nationalism is occurring all over the world. Our ‘nations’ and borders are no longer what they once were because of so many different and rapid changes in what used to be our small worlds. Growing pains of progress (I hope), which express themselves as a desire for conservative ideas...
National Song Lyrics
You know how to shout and pray, and wave your pitchforks
You know how to barricade your classroom doors
You know your Lord, and how he’s awaited
You know this revolt of yours will never get old or antiquated
You know the words to your national song
You know the melody, and you ride it along
You know you don't feel, feel it at all
You know the drill, drilled to belong
You know your opinion, and you know how to sell it
You know all your life you've been living on credit
But you don't know the value of the cards you've been dealt
You know the words to your national song
You know the melody, and you ride it along
You know you don't feel, feel it at all
You know the drill, drilled to belong
You know the words (words)
You know the melody (melody)
You know the drill, drilled to belong

What was the process of making the song like?
This song was one of those songs that came together very naturally in the early stages (before the actual production). Usually choruses are challenging for me for some reason, but this song it was the other way around. I had this melody stuck in my mind for a long time, and the lyrics for the chorus...
What was the production like for this track?
This song started with this melody which was stuck in my head for a very long time. I tried to figure out if it belonged to a song I had heard, or in maybe in a dream? I still don’t know where it came from but it felt familiar from the beginning. Somewhere the idea of a national song started to spre...
