Saxon has a new album coming out on February 4th titled “Carpe Diem”. You can pre-order it here. The second single from the record is Remember The Fallen. The new single is about the people who have died because of Covid-19. I think they do a great job describing it all. The opening verse sets it up;
“Іt саmе асrоѕѕ thе Сhіnа ѕеа Nо оnе knеw thе thrеаt tо уоu аnd mе Аll thе wаrnіngѕ саmе tоо lаtе Тhе bаttlе ѕtаrtеd ѕlоw аnd ѕеаlеd thеіr fаtе А ѕіlеnt kіllеr ѕtаlkеd thе ѕtrееtѕ А сhаnсе tо ѕрrеаd асrоѕѕ tо аll wе mееt”
Now that’s some fantastic wording to describe the origin. Throughout the song you get that. I find it lyrically brilliant. The music matches that. You get great licks and a smooth driving beat. Biff Byford still can sing and shows his vocal prowess. But the guitar solo by Doug Scarratt is eargasmic. I think the whole song, lyrics, music are a great homage to the people who have passed because of the virus. The video shows the band playing the song mixed it with images from the pandemic.
