NEW RELEASE: MOON WALKER “LIGHT BURNS OUT
“When the lights burn out, all the stars can get to coming out; when the lights burn out, the night will start anew.” “Light Burns Out” Moon Walker
In the music video, a devil figure setting the world on fire in contrast to a child’s sadness, representing the idea of how the kids will be most affected as the corporate elite and politicians keep on destroying the world. The only way to be saved from drowning is to become a puppet held over a flame symbolizes how we are constantly at the will of people in power.
When the country setting one hour back on the Daylight-Saving Times, it reminded Harry Springer how we are experiencing a social, political setback as a nation. Propaganda paints a triumphant and victorious picture of history; public education poisons our mind with made-believes, but as its people, we witness the truth. Police brutality, racism, pollution, homophobia, and numerous problems are still just as real as they were in the 1950s.
“I remember watching videos of firemen spraying black people with fire hoses and police hitting them with the barrels of their guns. I remember thinking to myself, how could we let this happen? How could this have happened in the world while my father was alive?” said Harry Springer, “Now I see worse every single day on the internet. We learn about economic recessions from the comfort of our cozy, well-funded high schools while kids in our same state couldn’t afford lunch and pencils. We are taught American history as though we are always the good guys and that all of our struggles are behind us. This couldn’t be further from the truth.”

Maybe as we grow older, submerging ourselves in the countless bills and obligations, the issues become invisible. When the 20 somethings leave school, they are no longer fooled by the system while still adjusting to the reality. This initial shock, followed by a wave of untamed anger, leads to confrontation and the outspoken truth, which provoke change and revolution.
Harry Springer broke the silence when the ridicule of election and quarantine finally pushed his political anger to a boiling point. He found himself no longer partially resonate with 50% of the country when people. “They were fine with stripping people of human rights in the name of religion. They were fine with letting the police force continue murdering innocent black civilians with no consequence or accountability. They were defending billionaires from paying more in taxes while stepping over homeless veterans dying on the street. They were blaming homosexuality for a decline in morality while supporting the pedophile ring that is the Catholic Church. And most tellingly, they were willing to vote for a demagogue who, very unsubtly, was a proponent of fascism, not to mention a predator who has spoken ad nauseam about sleeping with his own daughter. I'd be lying if I said I didn't still feel this way,” he said.
“Lights Burns Out” is a heartfelt reminder of consequences in retrospection of our indifference to social, political, racial justice. “We drown, we drown together.” As a humanity, we are drowning as the people in charge, ruining our planet. In the end, we will sink together when our planet is no longer habitable.
Stay tuned for their upcoming record: Truth To Power addressing politics, lifestyle, economics, and religion in America.
