About A New Song For Bristol:
In November 2020 Bristol Beacon launched A New Song For Bristol, a city-wide project calling out to the Bristol public to submit their experiences of life in Bristol over the course of the last year, through words and music.
As part of the project Bristol Beacon commissioned a collection of new songs created by a diverse range of artists, inspired by or made in collaboration with individuals and groups from across Bristol.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Light and dark, this year has been a rollercoaster
Shocked my heart, someone wake me when it's over
Stop and go, this ebb and flow that we must master
Do you know; some hide, some shine, some’ve seen disaster

Pre-chorus 1:
We bend our bows so we don't break
The fools, no rules, the things we make

Chorus:
Just gimme that boombox
Crank up the tunes let's dance
Just gimme that boombox
Crank up the tunes
Just gimme that boombox
Crank up the tunes let's dance
Just gimme that boombox
Crank up the tunes, Crank up the tunes

V2
Back and forth, this distant dodging, orderly queues,
Down is north, there's no normal it's just all new
Rise and fall, do all the things that we desired
Throw a ball, some say they'd start a rebel choir

Pre-chorus 2:
These empty spaces I regret
Forgotten faces never met

Repeat Chorus...

Middle eight:
Music makes the world go round, world go round, world go round
Music makes the world go round, (repeat)
Repeat Chorus...
