“Hunger of the Pine” is the first single from their 2014 album, This Is All Yours.
Keyboardist Gus Unger-Hamilton had this to say on the songwriting process after the departure of former bassist Gwil Sainsbury (via NPR):
Having to write songs as a trio rather than a foursome was a daunting prospec...
[Verse 1: Joe Newman]
Sleeplessly embracing
Butterflies and needles line my seamed-up join
Encased in case I need it
In my stomach, for my heart, chain mail
[Refrain: Joe Newman]
Hunger of the pine
Hunger of the pine
[Verse 2: Joe Newman]
Sleeplessly embracing
Yawn yearns into me, plenty more tears in the sea
And so you finally use it
Bedding with me you see at night, your heart wears knight armour
[Refrain: Joe Newman]
Hunger of the pine
[Chorus: Joe Newman & Miley Cyrus]
I'm a female rebel
I'm a female rebel
I'm a female rebel
I'm a female rebel
Female rebel
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Sleeplessly (Ooh)
Embracing (You)
[Verse 3: Joe Newman]
Realisation grew on me
As quickly as it takes your hand
To warm the cool side of the pillow
I'm there for you, be there for me
I'll hum the song the soldiers sing
As they march outside our window
[Refrain: Joe Newman]
Hunger of the pine
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Joe Newman & Miley Cyrus]
(Ooh) Sleeplessly
(Ooh) Embracing
(Ooh)
(Ooh) Sleeplessly
(Ooh) Embracing
(You)
I'm a female rebel
(Ooh) Sleeplessly
(Ooh) Embracing
(Ooh)
I'm a female rebel
(Ooh) Sleeplessly
(Ooh) Embracing
(You)
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a female rebel
[Outro: Gus Hunger-Hamilton & Joe Newman]
Une immense espérance a traversé la terre
Une immense espérance a traversé la terre
Une immense espérance a traversé ma peur
Une immense espérance a traversé ma peur
