Second single from the forthcoming second album HYMNS, due later this year. 

FFO: Manchester Orchestra, Frightened Rabbit, Arcade Fire. 

Recorded in West Wales by the band. 

Produced in Toronto, Canada by Matt Lederman. Mastered by Ryan Morey (Arcade Fire, Half Moon Run). 

Laid back Death Cab-esque drum patterns and cool americana guitars, the new single from Broken Fires makes you want to roll down the window of your getaway car (a 1967 Pontiac by the way) and drive off into the spring sunset. Except it’s a song about the morbid human fascination with serial killers… 

Sharks is written looking down on a convicted man in the dock of a Swansea courtroom. Guitarist and singer Gareth explains: “I think I had been watching too many Netflix real crime series… but there has always been something curious to me about what runs through the mind of those that find themselves standing in the dock looking out at the jury”. 

The final guitars were layered up over beers in Earlsfield South London but keys, violins and vocals added in living rooms separately during the lockdowns of 2021. The tracks were sent to Canada for finishing touches with mixing by Matt Lederman (Rural Alberta Advantage, !!!) and mastering by Ryan Morey (Arcade Fire). 

The laid back groove in the first half of Sharks reveals a different side to Broken Fires. But with what is becoming a trademark move, the song builds to a shattering crescendo with layered violins and enough guitar tracks to make Trent Reznor twitch. 

If you like a killer melody this is for you.

Sharks - Edit

i dream of holding you in a way that you would enjoy 
but you have so much to do and im never one in store 
so ill wait for the next train 
so you dont have to talk in vain 

to someone who'd never forget a secret you have said 
cuz each of your word's tattooed forever inside my head 
but ive got some blank space 
holes in paper that i cant lace 

from nights where we'd get so high we'd forget our own names 
you said things back then and they slipped as i showed you my pain 
and like a childhood movie 
your smile faded in memory 

im not one to ask but now i think i know what love is 
i never relied on someone so much just to exist 
but i dont want to watch you leave 
no i dont wanna watch you leave

in vain

lyrics:
i dreamed of having a future
 it didn’t look how i thought it should look
 too clean and full of computers
 shot down in the prime of my life

and if it’s
 not what u want
 i’ll change it
 we’re going blonde
 casual
 so nonchalant
 u passed and
 i’m being haunted
 to be honest
 everything that i wanted
 is gone and there’s nothing to do about it


 i wanna go back now
 not sure when but i don’t wanna be here
 i’m tired of that crowd
 i don’t wanna do the things that i have and i know it was bad for me


 i’ll fall in line
 or at least i would
 if i could turn back time
 but that would ruin the point of getting 
sentimental
 i wouldn’t like what i find
 if i could hit rewind
 and retracing my steps wasn’t coincidental
 second guessing our separate ways
 don’t hit pause
 seconds count for second place 
 but the round of applause doesn’t 
 when you cut the corner 
 even if you get your way 

i’ve had it up to here 
 wondering if it’d be different 
 wondering what was unclear 
 and it’s smeared all over the rearview 
 a picture that can’t fix you 
 a voice that can’t hear you say 


i wanna go back now 
 not sure when but i don’t wanna be here 
 i’m tired of that crowd 
 i don’t wanna do the things that i have and i know it was bad for me 

 don’t know what i want 
 but it’s not what i have 
 feeling well or not 
 i can’t tell where i’m at 


i wanna go back now 
 not sure when but i don’t wanna be here 
 i’m tired of that crowd 
 i don’t wanna do the things that i have and i know it was bad for me 


i wanna go back now 
 not sure when but i don’t wanna be here 
 i’m tired of that crowd 
 i don’t wanna do the things that i have and i know it was bad for me

Writing 17 was single-handedly one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I starting piecing this song together late May of 2022 in my bedroom with no idea what direction it would go in. All I knew is that I had a bunch of feelings, words left unsaid, and intrusive thoughts that were flooding my head. The song kind of wrote it self.  I’ve never been in a more vulnerable state of mind. The track is titled 17 because it encapsulates being young, and all the doubts and emotions thats come with it this year. It’s my story about a situation that took control of me.  I sing the lyrics “maybe some of it was me to blame, I could’ve ran but countless times I stayed”, reflecting on a how differently things could have ended if I had just chosen to walk away.  It’s my story about the innocent, fragile parts of me being stripped away. Still choosing to see the good in someone although they give you every reason not too. My vulnerability became my biggest weakness, and I felt defeated. After the smog had cleared, and my vision was no longer blurred , I started to see just how much I was taken advantage of, and how much manipulation had truly taken place. It’s a ballad about betrayal. 

 I still carry pain in my heart, but with this release I hope to gain a sense of closure. This song has a very unfinished and raw feel to it, but I can’t picture putting it out any other way. I hope you love it just as much as I do.
