about

Swedish duo Bells Fell Silent releases new single ”Big Night Won” on Stargazer Records.

Gustav Sigala Haggren wrote ”Big Night Won” the day after Donald Trump was elected president. He wasn’t sure what to do with the song at the time. Feeling unready for the new world, he put the song aside.

While forming musical project Bells Fell Silent together with Niklas Hegfalk he realized the song was more hopeful than he first had felt. The song starts off with the words: ”I have not come to see the end of kindness”.

Now we are facing a new world again. Covid-19 is still spreading, another presidential election is coming up in the US, Greta Thunberg is trying to get the world to listen to scientists and on the streets people is demanding justice and healing for black people.

Maybe the song needed to be released in 2020.

lyrics

BIG NIGHT WON

I have not come
To see the end of kindness
Stand on a beach
With a sinking fleet

I will not drink
From the speechwriter’s inkwell
I’m not free if my words are sold

Big night won
Big night won
Big night won
Big night won

It scrolls up and down
Paints a hateful message
Hang them high
We won’t reach them again
Our screens are the face of one ugly beast
With fingers greased we’re obsolete

Big night won
Big night won
Big night won
Big night won

Who’s left outside won’t get in
Who stayed inside will never get out
I won’t forget you when you forget me
I will question you when you answer to me

Big night won
Big night won
Big night won
Big night won

He and Niklas Hegfalk stayed in Niklas cabin for a week and wrote some intimate, reduced songs that should become the foundation of the self-titled debut album, to be released in November 2020.
