Airstream Futures - My Moral Line



  Airstream Futures (https://www.facebook.com/airstreamfutures/) are the Chicago "supergroup" featuring members of bands such as The Bomb, The Methadones etc who featured on here a couple of years ago with their debut single If I (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2018/07/airstream-futures-if-i.html) and who've recently returned with an excellent new album titled Le Feu Et Le Sable. It's available from Little Rocket Records (a label that's building up one hell of a catalogue of releases) and you can find the vinyl version here : https://littlerocketrecords.co.uk/ and digital here :   https://airstreamfutureslrr.bandcamp.com/album/le-feu-et-le-sable

  They play a mix of punk, alt and indie and count amongst their influences the likes of Alkaline Trio, Saves The Day, Leatherface, The Descendents, Hot Water Music etc... They've actually called in favours from some of those influences, the album was produced by Rodrigo Palma (Saves The Day) and Derek Grant (Alkaline Trio) whilst guesting on backing vocals is a certain Frankie Stubbs. It's a quality album created by people with impeccable credentials, you'll be impressed.

  They've released a video for lead track Cemetery Sparrow which is a song I played on the show a few weeks ago and it's definitely worthy of your attention (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvbDOZNDPJw) but the song I'm highlighting today is the equally impressive My Moral Line...

I’ll say when
I’ll say when
I’ll say when

My moral line
Has been crossed
It’s been crossed and redefined
Out of shape and twisting up my mind
Living lost and walking blind
I need a better place and time
To hide me
Where they won’t find me

I’ll say when
Too little too late
I’ll say when
Too little too late
I’ll say when
Too little too late
I’ll say when
Too little

Thoughts and prayers
Thoughts and prayers for everyone

First they came for them
And I didn’t speak up
Because I wasn’t them
Then they came for you
And I didn’t speak up
Because I wasn’t you
Then they came for me
And there was no one left to speak.
