The Florida Dark Wave / Post Punk band, Astari Nite, have released a new dark broody single that pays homage to one of the most well known and tragic love stories. The tale of Romeo & Juliet is recounted in the bands new single Capulet Loves Montague. The song is, as you might expect, beautiful, dark and tragic. The single is a precursor the a new album that will be out in Spring 2020.
Vocalist Mychael says this about the single
Lyrically, “Capulet Loves Montague” came to life while my 11-year young best friend and I were fooling around with crayons on a rainy evening. Perhaps it was the colors that made it clear, a nursery rhyme was being created. A feeling of innocence came over me when the words “Christmas trees are frozen spiders, Cats are made from snow, terrified by what I think of, petrified in love” were written. I’m obsessed with silliness, which is often mistaken for my sadness, especially when it comes to storytelling.
Lyrics
I’m always thinking of you, when lying next to her
My god, I shouldn’t feel this wayChristmas trees are frozen spiders
Cats are made from snow
Terrified by what I think of, petrified in loveYou pushed a knife inside my
You pushed a knife inside my heartDo you forgive me now, as my shadow waved goodbye, till now
You pushed a knife inside my
You pushed a knife inside my heartTragically, said so beautifully, romantically
I can stitch you like a doll I had, that fell apart, join me in the darkPouting lips, stars, upside down
Circus clowns, frown then drown
She calm’s her stare then turns away from meVows- I’ll never know, how I miss you so
I will remember you, will you remember
I will remember you, will you rememberI dream to forget
