A year after releasing a solid album, former Arcade Fire member Will Butler and his band Sister Squares have presented a new single. Titled “Burn It Away,” the song starts off mellow but gradually builds up to intense moments. Butler sings, “I want to burn it away,” repeating the phrase throughout. Reflecting on the track, Butler stated:
“I wanted to make an open-hearted song about destroying the world, about despair in the face of trying your best to find hope. There’s a lyric that got cut about thinking you see the sun rise but it’s just the forest fires burning over the horizon. But I think music is intrinsically hopeful—always implicitly arguing in favor of creation—so maybe the song balances itself out.”
