Play Dead

from LESSONS by The Big Hurt

/

  • Streaming + Download

    Lessons, the debut release from The Big Hurt melds elements of Alternative Rock, Reggae, Acid Jazz. Hip Hop, Funk, Drum-n-Bass, Ska, Punk, Latin and Go-Go. Recorded at Waterford Digital in Pasadena, MD with producer Frank Marchand (Jimmie’s Chicken Shack, Toadies and The All Mighty Senators), The Big Hurt went into the studio with a batch of songs reflecting each of the band member’s diverse musical influences. The album’s 10 songs range from heavy guitar driven rock to Acid Jazz melodies over Jungle and Hip-Hop beats to break neck Punk/Ska and Reggae interludes. Although touching on many different musical styles, the result is a singular sound that is at the same time musically complex and refreshingly accessible. 

    This is Lessons. “If they were easy, they’d be forgotten.”

Play Dead

Lyrics by: William A. Martin Jr.
Music by: The Big Hurt

I’m right in the open,
With my head against the ground
as you refuse to swallow your view.
In the heightening of your consciousness
you fell.

As we fade into
The shit I guess
Where all in all there’s
So much there it’s
That much less.
And we’ve made it through
So just play dead
Where all in all it’s
Only nothing on your hands.

I’m right in the open,
or did the hand convince the sound
if you concede the folly’s on you.
You were frightening with you instances
when that made no sense.

As we fade into
The shit I guess
Where all in all there’s
So much there it’s
That much less.
And we’ve made it through
So just play dead
Where all in all it’s
Only nothing on your hands.
