"Burning" by The Sea At Midnight: A Haunting Anthem for Climate Change

"Burning" by The Sea At Midnight cleverly combines haunting melodies and urgent themes that press the growing climate crisis with candor. Featuring a contribution by Chemical Waves, atmospheric instrumentation stitched onto poignant lyrics, forms a listen that is emotionally stirring and relaxing . This track was released on November 8th, 2024.

"Burning" elevates right into the brooding yet compelling arrangement of synths and guitar riffs, taking off it onto an introspective journey. The Sea At Midnight provides a raw yet evocative vocal performance. Every line is delivered with urgency that clings in the mind of a listener. The lyrics are strong with imagery of both destruction and renewal, speaking to a deep sympathy for the state of our planet while calling upon its people to take action for it betterment. For example, "listen to the north, you can hear the glaciers melting, chaos in the east.".

Where both have a darkwave and post-punk element to them, Chemical Waves brings an entirely new dimension in with a dynamic production to really carry that intensity through. The result from both these artists is something so old yet sounding so new at the same time.

"Burning" is no mere song but a slogan. The message therein, coupled with the brilliance of its art, presumes resonance on many levels. With this release, The Sea At Midnight cements his reputation not only as a raconteur but also as a voice toward change. Listeners who favour music that begs reflection and action will find "Burning" a necessity. Please do well to click on the Spotify link above for a quick online stream.
