Hello again!

Here is the quick Q&A I promised on the songs. Starting with “Beware of Zombies!”

Who wrote the music in Beware of Zombies!?
Matt: This was basically made as a tribute and cheer up song to Jade, when she had ended a 3 year long relationship. Me and Alex thought that she might like a whole new song containing flesh eating ghouls! So we created the frame for “Beware of Zombies!”.

Would you say that “Beware of Zombies!” is catchy?
Matt: Yeah, the song is created to be light, fun and catchy!
Jade: It’s one of those songs that you will hear once and then you will never get it out of your head. I’m serious. Never. You will remember it FOREVER. It will haunt you, so you’d better just like it right away, you don’t have a choice, haha.

Would you say that the music and lyrics is well put together ?
Matt: yes, I think so. It’s made to be catchy and catch peoples ears and attention.
Jade: I think that it is quite unexpected that the song is about zombies. I doesn’t really sound like a song containing zombies, and that’s why I like it.

How did you end up with the idea of writing lyrics about Zombies?
Jade: Well, I have been fascinated with zombies for quite some time now and everyone in the band knew that I wanted to write about them eventually. And when I had a breakup in my relationship, Matt and Alex decided to cheer me up by writing a really energetic song about zombies.

Is there a hidden message in the lyrics?
Jade: Yes, all of our songs can be stripped down to a very simple skeleton. All of our songs are based on a very basic emotion that everyone probably has felt at some point. Even I we dress the song up with zombies, mental illness, fairytales and history, it is still based on that simple emotion.
“Beware of Zombies!” is basically about being afraid to die, that the world will end and everything will end. Fear of death and the apocalypse.

Why are the context of the lyrics so focused on gore and violence?
Jade: In this particular song the gore and violence enhances the sense of fear, fear for a violent and painful death. I can’t imagine being devoured by a zombie a quick and relatively painfree death, being eaten alive…
And sometimes one has to use harsh words to really tear a feeling out of the listener.

Was there a main writer of the lyrics of Beware of Zombies?
Jade: Not really. Me and Matt had agreed on the subject and structure of the lyrics and so he wrote the verses and sent them to me. Then I got really excited and inspired and wrote the choruses. This was pretty much 50-50 song.

The Lyrics to:

Beware of Zombies!

You better hush in the night,
and embrace the silence now.
Better pray for your life,
cause they will chase you down.

You better run, better hide,
better run for your life now.
Better pray to your god,
cause they will hunt you down.

We'll, find your hiding place,
we will search you down.
We can smell the taste of flesh
to guide us where you hide.
Find your secret place,
no one is ever safe.
We can’t sate these urgent,
sudden cravings for your brains!

Clasp that last bullet,
and pray for daylight.
Crouch low in an alley,
and wait for dawn.
Clutch your gun real tight,
think of survival.
Focus on the sunlight,
we'll make it through.

Rip and tear your skin,
separate your limbs.
Drooling zombies on the warpath,
hunting for our food.
Graveyard calling me,
gonna send us back again.
Doesn’t matter if you scream and cry,
you’re gonna die!


There you are.
More soon!
