Released on 30 November 2021, “Concorde” served as the third single from Black Country, New Road’s sophomore album Ants From Up There. The track is split in two main sections, with the first one being tender and more mellow and the second one being more energetic and eruptive, as the band itself exp...
[Verse 1]
Concorde, this organ
The new one I'm formin'
It's grown so persistent on you by the morning
I fell to my feet
And the doctor said, "We are unfortunately
Running out of options to treat."
What a funny way to speak
[Chorus]
And you, like Concorde
I came, a gentle hill racer
I was breathless upon every mountain
Just to look for your light
[Verse 2]
Concorde, I miss you
Don't text me 'til winter
I can hardly afford a second summer of splinters
This staircase
It leads only to some old pictures of you
Through an a-thousand-mile-long tube
Hey, what's a city boy to do?
[Chorus]
And you, like Concorde
I came, a gentlе hill racer
I was breathless upon еvery mountain
Just to look for your light
[Post-Chorus]
But, for less than a moment
We'd share the same sky
And then Isaac will suffer
Concorde will fly
[Verse 3]
Concorde, we're old now
You wield a lightsaber
And led by the dark to our place on the table
So don't tell me you're hungry
'Cause darlin', I'm starvin' myself
And I heard you're on Atkins as well
I was made to love you
Can't you tell?
[Chorus]
And you, like Concorde
I came, a light blue sleeper
And I laid, dead or twitching
For most of the night
[Post-Chorus]
But I know that you'll be there
The sandman inside
And I'll come to like a child
Concorde and I die free this time
[Instrumental Outro]
Concorde was written by Tyler Hyde & Sergio Maschetzko & May Kershaw & Luke Mark & Lewis Evans & Isaac Wood & Georgia Ellery & Charlie Wayne.
Concorde was produced by Sergio Maschetzko.
Black Country, New Road released Concorde on Tue Nov 30 2021.
“Concorde” started as an upbeat, melodic phrase, which became the post-chorus of the tune. Isaac then developed this into a verse and the basic structure of the song came from that. When we took it to the rehearsal room to write the song together, we each individually filled in our own parts, but th...
Charlie Wayne:
I love how it follows the same chord progression the whole way through, and it’s driven but very soft. It’s got real moments of delicacy, and it’s a song that we all thought quite a lot about when we were getting it together. When you’re restricted to that one-chord sequence, you wan...
