📖 About the song:
"Just over three years ago John landed in NYC with two hundred dollars, a guitar called Grace, no smart phone and no place to stay. This situation led to him travelling and touring extensively through the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Asia and then home to Europe.
Coral for Coal is the first single from his forthcoming EP “Time to Think”, recorded in collaboration with ARIA winning producer Adrian Breakspear (Gang Of Youths, CLEWS, Johnny Hunter) and featuring Leah Jeskie on backing vocals. With an intentionally raw and stripped back production, guitar work rooted in folk expressions and heartfelt lyrical content, this EP is set to build upon John's reputation as an engaging performer and master storyteller."

📝 Lyrics:
Watch the rising sun,
Rise against the curve.
Still more fire is spreading fire over what is left to burn.
What is left to burn?
Have you seen the floating islands?
There’s so much waste to build a wall.
Have you seen Angels in Exile?
Who sleep with needles on the floor.
We`re trading Coral for Coal,
Ripping out our roots.
For those last few drops of oil,
To polish up our marching boots.
She tells me the same story,
Of a son barely born.
And a husband who beat cancer,
But never came home from the war.
We`re trading Coral for Coal,
Ripping out our roots.
For those last few drops of oil,
To polish up our marching boots.
The groove in Manhattan, I love that it never goes to sleep.
Will we call it New Venice, when the ocean floods the streets.
So I’m seeking out fame,
To give more volume to our voice.
Not to point out any blame ,
But to point out we have a choice.
Instead of Coral for Coal,
Ripping out our roots.
For those last few drops of oil,
To polish up our corporate shoes.
