Pinegrove - "Orange" (Official Lyric Video)

"Orange" is a new song by Pinegrove. Click to stream: ffm.to/pinegro...
orange, a waltz about the climate crisis, was written on the day in 2020 that the photos of oregon's eery, bloodshot sky circulated the internet. the song tries to balance outrage at those preventing progress-politicians elected in good faith to protect us who instead believe themselves celebrities-with the etherial, almost dissociative feeling of being alive at the end of history. the mirage on offer by today's political theater does nothing to assuage our concerns as we watch where the money actually goes: the american military, one of the single greatest global sources of fossil fuel emissions. so for all who have on one hand heard the desperate scientific prognosis, & on the other seen the already-weak promises on the campaign trail traded in for endless wars-it's tough not to lose heart. this isn't a song trying to convince anyone that climate change is real. it's for people horrified at the government's inaction to what we can all see with our own eyes. as this summer progresses, breaking all sorts of records across the northern hemisphere, & the conclusion sinks further into our collective gut, it's essential for people with a microphone to start shouting, & in whatever way we can to affirm community, to step in & help one another cope in the absence of our government, & take seriously the need to organize for a better world.

Lyrics:
i try to wrap my
head around
an eye for an eye
full of iodine
i try to remember
the history of time
i try to laugh
or sleep it off
that awful feeling
something's off
by eye i measure
the narrow length across
today the sky is orange
& you & i know why
i try to warn
my senator
he said that he
invented it
& that i should feel happy
he talked to me at all
i try to down
the bluest pill
the author of
the fucking bill
bragging on youtube
the criminals he'll kill
they’re trying ignore it
we always knew they’d try
today the sky is orange
& you & i know why
#pinegrove #orange

I've never heard such a beautifully unsettling song.

[@tilda.watson]

I first listened to this track in a tent after being in a sea kayak for seven hours and I was so tired and it was so beautiful , I have been listening to this on repeat

[@Calebmikesell]

I also heard it right after kayaking haha

[@tilda.watson]

@@Calebmikesell something about them filming on the water made this happen

[@lisaariola1673]

Parts of this song kind of have an Elliott Smith feel - The waltzyness and the reverby vocals - Love it!

[@thomasdavis6892]

Listen to I like you most by Slow Reader, youll like if u like ES

[@kekw6816]

Check out Peach Pit and Bobby Kakouris if you like Elliott too :)

[@Godspeedjosh]

Beautiful. I felt the weight, but felt so free at the same time.

[@zkynaston]

Has some Death Cab Vibes to it particularly in the beginning. Love it!

[@elainemoore7971]

Eyes feeling heavy but heart is full

[@timeflies313]

Just awesome. These are the type of songs you listen to when you're having a rough time and can't fall asleep. But you love every moment of it anyway.

[@Leah.C.]

Percy emailed that we should listen to lyric vid so here I am 🍊 beautiful message. Next up, bowl of oranges by bright eyes

[@Pomeray8]

I just found you guys in january. Bought amperland vinyl. Not ready to say goodbye. This song cut deep

[@joeyprince6398]

Thank you Pinegrove for posting. Love when one of my favorite bands has a rhythm cranking out new material. Song is beautiful - makes me wonder if it’s new or been sitting in the bank for a bit. Either way thanks

[@williamschwan207]

I read it was written back in 2020 when the Oregon sky was all orange and red from the fires

[@Calebmikesell]

The description of the vid talks ab jt

[@lordbuddybear]

Hey Pinegrove, just wanted to say thank you for your songs. Last week I was in a very bad mood and I just had your song Darkness in my mind, it captured it all so beautifully and I listened to it on repeat. Your whole catalogue is great. :) I miss the banjo sound a bit, for example from your Tiny Desk, but that's your choice. Cheers and all the best!

[@allenscottrogers5106]

Please Lord up above we need another album 🙇🏻‍♂️

[@elijahcambry3319]

[@SuperDrummerful]

The whole song's a big crescendo - love it

[@ceetee110]

Almost all of their songs are. Not trying to discredit it, it's a lovely style.

[@LaurieSuppleOfficial]

[@laughingstock9704]

[@ecbfilms001]

Apparently their new stuff is produced by Chris Walla!

[@elijahcambry3319]

Not even remotely. Evan sounds like Evan

[@ludwigbeethoven6973]

Perfect.

[@MrWobblesStreams]

[@FishDingers]

first

[@KJV_1789]

Romans 15:1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. 3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. 4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. KJV. The new bibles are made by the Vatican and are perversions. Been a big fan of Evan Stephen hall in my youth and his music still rings greatly to my ear. May God guide you into peace. We're almost out of time.

[@soybeaner85]

Beautiful song but if you think taxes will fix the weather you are a pure fool.

[@grandmago.]

I already know I will base my next weeks life on hearing this song on loop

[@zacperil654]

🧡

[@ClearlyNotJamie]

Ethereal! So happy this came out after the boat version. I love it.

[@LukeGittinsMusic]

I think the lyrics (in this video) coming in late represent the fact that’s we are late and delayed in our efforts to tackle climate change. this song and this message are so powerful.

[@sfrank7799]

This is so beautiful

[@greenlightnatural]

Love you guys but today the sky is blue

[@SaltChroniclesHearthstoneArena]

This song kicks ass, i wish drums were bit quieter though

[@Ganobrator]

let's go

[@natecorning]

Reminds me of the song "Orange Sky" by The Movement. Another song about this exact topic. Both fantastic tunes!

[@ericinthekitchen]

One more time WOW .

[@tiptucker9523]

Thank you☮️♾♥️

The sky could have become slightly less Orange if Bernie Sanders was elected President

[@DevinBradleySmith]

Anyone but Joe :’)

[@jakoblucas]

@@DevinBradleySmith well.. not anyone

[@taywimz]

@@DevinBradleySmith yeah were certainly better off with Joe than a literal Orange man

[@tytipp5614]

same chord pattern as your heart is an empty room from death cab

[@ceetee110]

Those 4 chords are used in almost everything. It happens way more often than most people realize and is rarely intentional. Not sure what your point is.

[@NickShermanCreative]

There's no way for me to say this without looking like a gripe. First: the song is incredible. Second (the gripe part) I admit, it was more deeply impactful without knowing the specific message behind it. The message isn't bad, but the place they create just by letting people feel and interpret for themselves is way better!

[@elijahcambry3319]

he’s written plenty of songs before that are about one specific thing. he just chose not to be ambiguous about it this go around because he’s trying to make a fucking point.

[@asa66six]

I felt similarly. But the song still gets me
