A beautiful, delicate, evocative and profound new single about impending Earth disaster by the Swedish indie folk singer-songwriter and acoustic guitarist from Gothenburg, heralding his fifth album Against the Dying of the Light out on 27 March via Imperial Recordings / City Slang. As José puts it: “A Perfect Storm is about how we ourselves are creating the conditions for a more and more turbulent future. Compared to natural risks, these are man made, and therefore not random.”
Forces from the sidelines
Pushing for a race against time
Tempting us to deplete
Only to face a certain defeat
Hey now! It's not random
If we're the ones to cause the storm
It's a numbers game
Ignoring all the combined tail end risks
Gambling with our common fate
To quench the thirst of a few
No time for the masses
To be informed, to have say
Got to win the race, just win this race
A race to lose control
Intentions don't matter much
As the dominoes start to fall
Hey now! It's not random
When we're the ones to cause the storm
Hey! It's not random
If we rise, just to peak and fall
Hey now! It's not random
It's still within our own control
Hey now! It's not random
When we're the ones to unleash a perfect storm
