The prime members of Ash and coal, Viktor Klint and Adrian Hornquist have been playing music together on and off since the early 90's. Exploring the extreme and dark music within the metal, rock, hardcore and punk genres. Mostly focusing on the two first ones. Different people and different bands have come and go and now it's time to take the legacy to the next level.
The main goal for the band is to play some kind of dark deathblues metal hybrid. But beware, it will be some twists on the road ahead. You will hear a clear pattern in the music. The simple riff and the feeling in the guts will be the guiding star.
The debut recording session have been sent out to magazines, friends, promotion and labels, containing nine songs of deathridden, bluesdriven metallic rock. It can be downloaded here.
This is the new manifest. This is the new flesh.
Night
Ash and Coal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feed on the blue
Skies and melted
And burned it into
Something we all will try
To capture
Through
A phone to share
Forever explaining,
"It gives it no justice"
And "How I wish you
Could see it"
Late night radio
The road and ourselves
A line on the black
Forever asking,
"Hey did you see that?
I think it was
a shooting star."
Oh, it's been circling
For millions of years.
It's overwhelming
That we've always been here,
Just in tiny pieces.
The lyrics to Ash and Coal's song Night describe the beauty of the night sky and how humans attempt to capture its magnificence through technology but still fall short of truly experiencing it. The song starts by portraying how the stars begin to appear in the blue skies and how they seem to melt and burn the sky, creating something that we all try to capture and share with our friends through our phones. However, despite our best efforts, we cannot truly express the beauty of the night sky through technology, and so we forever explain to our friends how they too must experience it in person to truly appreciate it.
The song goes on to describe a late night drive with companions, where they spot a shooting star and try to capture the experience of seeing it. The lyrics depict how the group is forever asking each other if they saw it, and realizing how small they are in comparison to the universe. The final lines of the song emphasize the feeling of being overwhelmed by the notion that we have always been a part of the universe, albeit in tiny pieces.
Overall, the song Night can be understood to be a contemplation on the natural world and our role within it as human beings. It draws attention to our desire to capture and share the beauty we experience, but also encourages us to remember the limitations of technology and to make an effort to experience the world in person.
Line by Line Meaning
The stars began to
As the night sky darkened, the stars came out
Feed on the blue
The stars' light consumed and replaced the blue color of the daytime sky
Skies and melted
The stars' light covered and blended into the sky like dripping wax
And burned it into
The stars' light transformed the sky, making it something new
Something we all will try
Everyone tries to capture and share the beauty of the night sky
To capture
To take a photo of the night sky to remember its beauty
Through
Using technology like our phones to document and share the moment
A phone to share
Using a smartphone to share the beauty of the night sky with friends and others
And show to our friends
Displaying the photo to others to show them what we have witnessed
Forever explaining,
Continuously trying to describe and convey the beauty of the photo
"It gives it no justice"
The photo doesn't do justice to the actual beauty of the night sky
And "How I wish you
Expressing regret that others couldn't witness the beauty of the night sky with us
Could see it"
Wishing others could experience the same thing we did
Late night radio
Listening to the radio while driving at night
The road and ourselves
It's just us and the road
A line on the black
The dotted line on the black road in front of us
Forever asking,
Constantly asking each other questions and pointing out things we notice
"Hey did you see that?
Asking if the other person saw something cool or interesting on the drive
I think it was
Expressing uncertainty or speculation about what was seen
a shooting star."
Wondering if the object was a meteor or shooting star that streaked across the sky
Oh, it's been circling
Realizing that the shooting star has been traveling through space for millions of years
For millions of years.
Marveling at the age and distance of celestial objects
It's overwhelming
Feeling awe, inspiration, and insignificance when faced with the vastness of space
That we've always been here,
Reflecting on the fact that humanity has existed on this planet for only a tiny fraction of the universe's existence
Just in tiny pieces.
Realizing that humans are a small part of the vast universe, and our existence is fleeting and insignificant in the grand scheme of things
