It’s not pop music, it’s music about pop music. The first EP from the duo of Owen Kurtz & Sierra Weston is a recontextualization and celebration of the ubiquitous nature of a good pop song and it’s ability to be reinvented over and over again.

Thanks to: Nina Simone, Rihanna, Jimmy Webb, MJ Lenderman & the Wind and our friends and families

Stop War!!!


[Verse 1]
There’s a child on the front line,
With tears in their eyes,
Holding onto broken dreams,
Under the darkened skies.
They don’t know why the bombs fall,
Why they have to hide,
While innocence is fading,
And hope is pushed aside.

[Chorus]
Can we stop the war, and lay our weapons down?
Can we hear the voices crying out in every town?
Can't we see we're all the same, just souls beneath the rain?
Can we stop the war, and bring back love again?

[Verse 2]
A mother holds her baby close,
Fearing the morning light,
Every day’s a battle,
Just to make it through the night.
How many hearts will shatter?
How many lives must break?
How much more can we endure
Before there's nothing left to take?

[Chorus]
Can we stop the war, and lay our weapons down?
Can we hear the voices crying out in every town?
Can't we see we're all the same, just souls beneath the rain?
Can we stop the war, and bring back love again?

[Bridge]
What if we chose compassion?
What if we chose to care?
What if we broke the silence
And whispered out a prayer?
For every soul that’s fallen,
For every tear that’s shed,
Let’s build a world of peace and love
And put this war to bed.

[Chorus]
Can we stop the war, and lay our weapons down?]
Can we hear the voices crying out in every town?
Can't we see we're all the same, just souls beneath the rain?
Can we stop the war, and bring back love again?

[Outro]
Let’s lift the fallen children and mend what’s torn apart.
Can't we see we're all one voice, one love that never dies?
With hands joined in compassion, let’s rise above the pain,
With love to guide our every step, to heal and start again.

Let’s stop the war, let's dry the weeping eyes.
Let’s stop the war... and bring back peaceful skies.
