about

Amarillo is excited to announce their new single 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐯𝐞. The first from their forthcoming album 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 which is set to be release in July 2024.

𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐯𝐞 is a meditation on feelings of being stuck, leaning into old patterns and pathways, instead of forging the new ones that we all have inside us. It’s about facing up to problems and shedding skin, weathering the storm of emotion and climbing the golden mountain together. Written in a little tumble down house in East Brunswick one afternoon, during the height of summer.

lyrics

𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐯𝐞

There's a heatwave coming round
So pull the awnings down
We’ll burn this house from inside out
There’s a heatwave about

A pattern can make a pretty thing
But these tracks are worn the wrong way in
I know every room in this house so well
Leave the sea but keep the shell

Don’t mind the weather babe
I’ll climb the mountain
Don’t mind the weather babe
I’ll climb the mountain

You said indecision will be the death of me
I couldn’t hear you then, I could barely breathe
Trying to pry open the doors and just get out
There’s a heatwave about

I didn’t want to drag my feet
But we were in a trance, in a haze of heat
Lay a weary head on a worn out sleeve
The party’s done but we couldn’t leave

Is this where we were before?
Before we opened up the door

The weather changed so long ago
Still waiting for the afterglow
Broken body and missing parts
Didn’t think this heat would last

Don’t mind the weather babe
I’ll climb the mountain
Don’t mind the weather babe
I’ll climb the mountain
