LYRICS:

Young and adulterated
Life is R-rated
Love equals sex
Sex makes you famous
Parents can’t blame us
Oh what a mess
To live for success

Willing and able
Both hands on the table
I can only choose
Fact over fable
Throw out the rules

It’s out with the old and in with the new
Out with the old and in with the new
Out with the old and in with the new

Out with the old and in with the
Out with the old and in with the
Out with the old and in with the

Young and adulterated
Soon to be jaded
Go fund your excess
Pursuits to impress
Teachers can’t save us
Judges can shame us
But not get the best
I’m here to confess

Willing and able
Both hands on the table
I can only choose
Fact over fable
Throw out the rules

It’s out with the old and in with the new
Out with the old and in with the new
Out with the old and in with the new

Out with the old and in with the
Out with the old and in with the
Out with the old and in with the new

There’s black ice
And blue skies
But I just want a taste
Of better days

I try
Got nothing left to lose

It’s out with the old and in with the new
Out with the old and in with the new
Out with the old and in with the new

Out with the old and in with the
Out with the old and in with the
Out with the old and in with the new

Out With The Old

“What am I to build, if my hands are broken, if I’m not the chosen one?” sings Steven McKellar of Civil Twilight on “Story of An Immigrant”, over a lush, dynamic beat that evokes the sounds of his native South Africa while steeped in the band’s everevolving present. The foursome (Steven, his brother and guitarist Andrew, drummer Richard Wouters and Kevin Dailey on keys and guitar) are living proof of what happens when you stop worrying about being the chosen one and make music built on both the roots that grew you and the love that keeps you thriving every day. Civil Twilight’s songs embrace every corner of human emotion, balancing delicate, poetic lyrics with sweeping arrangements that touch all the senses: a phrase to make you think; a rolling drumbeat you can feel in your bones; a guitar vamp as illustrative as a picture; a shimmer of keys whose light can nearly be seen and heard. Produced by Ben H. Allen (Gnarls Barkley, Bombay Bicycle Club, Cut Copy), their third record on Wind-Up is built on this vibrancy, on the permanent dust of a Cape Town youth; on the connection that unites them all as brothers beyond blood and on their new home in America where they pull from the innate, thriving musicianship of Nashville, where they live. When you listen to Civil Twilight, from their self-titled debut, to 2012’s widely lauded Holy Weather to now, it’s easy to understand why the band has topped five million YouTube views and reached historic success with film and television syncs – because it’s music you can’t shake, that translates experience into moments and creates melodies that become imbedded deep under the skin. We’re all immigrants, in some way, and Civil Twilight’s singing our national anthem.
