Marillion – ’Murder Machines’ – Official Music Video – New Album Out Now

The ’infectious’ new single ’Murder Machines’ from Marillion’s studio album ’An Hour Before It’s Dark’. Order the new album here: With ’An Hour Before It’s Dark’, Marillion release one of their most upbeat albums of their career while, at the same time, they once again do not shy away from uncomfortable topics, reflect on their own behaviour, and put their finger in the wounds of time. Exactly one month before the album’s release, the band shows how well this goes together with a new foretaste of their latest creation. “Murder Machines“ is a song that was born in the challenging times of lockdown and social distancing and has become so much more than just a mirror of our times, more than a song that deals with the precious as well as dark sides of human relationships. Steve Hogarth about the story behind ’Murder Machines’: “I tried not to write about the virus. But it’s been so much a part of life for the past two years that it kept creeping in. The terrifying reality that to wrap my arms around my father or mother could ultimately kill them, gave birth to this song. The lyric was then developed to hint at jealousy and heartbreak - the pain of watching the woman you love embrace another man, or the emotional “murder” of the serial adulterer. And, of course, the arms of the superpowers, and the psychopaths who sometimes have their fingers on the triggers. Beware the murder machines...” MURDER MACHINES Murder machines Fragments of life Too small to see Don’t know we’re only human A planet there for using Take their cells and multiply Until it dies I put my arms around her I put my arms around her I put my arms around her And I killed her with love I killed her with love I killed her Tested positive No antibodies No vaccine No escape Don’t know we’re only human A planet there for using Take their cells and multiply until it dies I put my arms around him I put my arms around him I put my arms around him And I killed him with love I killed him with love I killed him with love Reached out Never thought An innocent act Only a kiss She put her arms around him She put her arms around him She put her arms around him And she killed me She put put her arms around me She put put her arms around me She put put her arms around me And she killed me with love She killed me with love She killed me with love She killed me with love Catch up with the latest news on all earMUSIC releases here: earMUSIC on Facebook: earMUSIC on Instagram: earMUSIC on Twitter: #Marillion #AnHourBeforeItsDark #MurderMachines
