about

Exploring Birdsong comment on the new single:
“Weight in Gold was another song that was initially written way back during our time in university as part of our songwriting module. In a similar way to The Collapse, it existed in a wildly different form back then, and we knew we wanted to release it at some point, but didn’t want to waste what we thought is one of the strongest choruses we had in the bank. The benefit of having time to leave it alone and eventually revisit it has given us what we think is a song that encapsulates us pretty perfectly - and although up to this point, it’s the poppiest song we’ve released, it still feels like it is a really natural fit within the way our writing and arranging has progressed over the last year or so. Plus, the music video is the most fun we’ve ever had on a shoot. Really, all of the songs left to release this year each display a different side of us in their own right. Differing vastly from each other, and don’t have a place on our debut album, but are still, completely, authentically us.”

lyrics

Strain a smile on the lips you've been biting You can't force more pain

Bare my bones and I leave myself with nothing Throw my breath to waste
You're not confiding
Weeping while you're lying, I know
So I'll say

Am I worth my weight in gold?
Can I ever stop the bleeding?
I'm alone
And you're no longer welcome here

Fall apart and repair yourself with echoes Of your somber song

From your expression
We're not laying down our weapons at all You're just asking, begging me to swing

Am I worth my weight in gold?
Can I ever stop the bleeding?
Cause I'm alone
And you're no longer welcome here

Am I worth my weight in gold?
Is your callous heart still beating
I've gone cold
And all but lost my sense of fear

Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh

Am I worth my weight in gold?
Can I ever stop the bleeding?
Cause I'm alone
And you're no longer welcome here

Am I worth my weight in gold?
Is your callous heart still beating
I've gone cold
And all but lost my sense of fear
