833) Bambara - Serafina

The Georgia/New York band Bambara's latest album "Stray" revolves around death throughout its entirety. This song off of it, though, has something different about it. The mesmerizing track tells the tale of Serafina and Sadie, two young women who meet by a fire, which then turns into a central motif in their lives. Over a few months, they become lovers and partners-in-crime, and through their romantic yet alarming story of playing with fire, the Listener gets to learn about humanity from a new perspective. "I wanted the song to radiate a sort of wild-eyed hope, a youthful disregard for death itself", singer/guitarist Reid Bateh told the press. "Serafina and Sadie live exactly how they want to live, exploring their love for one another before a backdrop of flames. The knowledge of their own mortality takes nothing from their enthusiasm for life. If anything, they see it as a challenge they might one day overcome together." The piece is thought-provoking and well-written and any lover of post-punk or storytelling should do themselves the favor of diving into it.
