Kero Kero Bonito - When the Fires Come

Follow Kero Kero Bonito:

Directed by James Hankins
Mixed and mastered by Anthony Lim at Premier Mastering

When the hills are aglow with the light at the end of the day
And we usher our children into the shade
In the warm summer silence suspended aloft in the air
There a cricket sings alone
Ancient songs of home

Where now
Deep in the forest
That no-one dares to see or know
A young spark smoulders

All around the world they weep now they know it's true
(True true true)
The sun's returned to send us home to earth
Everybody takes their time making work to do
(Do do do)
But no-one will be left here to remember us
When the fires come

As a pillar of smoke reaches over to strangle the land
We desert all we have as fast as we can
For the valleys
Then I see when I look right behind me
At the seam of the rocks and the trees it roars
It's angry

All around the world they weep now they know it's true
The sun's returned to send us home to earth
Everybody takes their time making work to do
But no-one will be left here to remember us
When the

All around the world they weep now they know it's true
(True true true)
The sun's returned to send us home to earth
Everybody takes their time making work to do
(Do do do)
But no-one will be left here to remember us
When the fires come

When the fires come
When the fires come

i love how sarah is smiling and dancing while singing about climate change ending humanity

[hksards]

I feel like the boys have matured so much in their production. the beat and samples are getting better and better
it's like early on, sarah adapted herself to their sound, but now gus and jamie are wrapping themselves around her voice too and it's all getting more harmonious

[domarce]

The sound of early KKB with the refined lyrics of the newer KKB.. LOVE IT!!!

[jaimehernandez]

2018: VHS PUNK KKB
2019: 4K DYSTOPIAN POP KKB

[nesfan]

KKB never dissapoints, and is always pushing their sound to new directions, but still not abandoning what make us love them so much. Best band ever

[baikennep]

The Fire Nation should really stop with these attacks.

[violetinrealoldaccount]

Loving this mix of Bonito Generation and Time n Place, sounds fantastic

[EuCoruja]

I know this production most likely started way before the fires in Brazil and Africa, but the timing couldn't be better.

[namyucore]

Their electronica synth pop era is coming

[JHNHAM]

The panflute in this is giving me extreme "msuic my mom listened to when driving me to school in the mid-90s" vibes

[jordis-c]

I adore how KKB nail every single genre they try. This is how love for music sounds like 🌸

[Bee_Tea_Sea]

Her voice with that flute loop is too good
Damn ninjas cutting onions every single time man....

[BetseraiAshanti]

sounds like the jungle levels of side scrolling platform games

[lucascrider]

When the fires come....(emotion intensifies)

[SweetPeachteaX]

This hits real hard, as our earth is crumbling around us.

[anemonelibra]

That vocal slide on "angry" at 2:05 sends my soul to heaven 🔥🙌

[plusequalminusk]

Have we started the fire?
Yes, ｔｈｅ  ｆｉｒｅ  ｒｉｓｅｓ

[jurkey]

Damn, I really liked that part between 0:00-3:39

[marvellousgoatboy]

Was literally JUST THINKING 'Wonder when KKB is going to give some more music?'

[GlinkBetweenWorlds]

I feel like KKB is building up a lore universe with this song and the ending tracks off Time and Place
