Sons Of Raphael unveil new cut "Siren Music"
Sons Of Raphael are back with "Siren Music", the second single to be lifted from their debut album that's still yet to be announced.
"Siren Music" follows on from November 2019's lead single "He Who Makes The Morning Darkness".
The new offering arrives with a visual directed by Loral Raphael of Sons Of Raphael.
Ronnel Raphael says of the video, "The video opens with a quote from an elegy in the book of Lamentations: 'Joy has left our hearts; our dancing has turned to mourning'. It portrays the downfall of God’s people who have sinned and in turn have lost their honour, no longer bearing the gifts of God. The "Siren Music" video echoes this gloomy picture of a nation in disgrace, lamenting the loss of God in our time, through the medium of dance. It becomes a visual representation of the song that questions how our language has become spiritually obsolete, ‘Throats parched with empty words, like wadis a thirst for God’. A city becomes a mirror of the human condition as a resurrection towards God is envisioned, ‘Magic carpets carry our souls, moonwards a city rises and falls’, articulated in the violent choreography evident in the video. Nonetheless, it becomes apparent that the truth is too frightening to deal with, ‘So what truth can I believe in a world that wants to be deceived’? In turn, the fate of the human condition remains the same, ‘nameless we lay dead on the floor'."
