But it always hints at internal conflicts within the party that is thus committed to a common goal: Usually it is done precisely because the initiatiors of a Ship Burning do not trust in the loyalty or the morale of the rest of the group in the face of danger. Obviously there are other ways to wreck ships, but burning is the most picturesque.Īn act like this can be unilaterally ordered by a leader, or agreed on as a collective decision. If actual ships are destroyed, burning is the preferred method. A group of people that intends to commit treason of some sort may send a message confessing their defection to the betrayed faction, making it impossible for anyone who gets cold feet to turn back to their old master and evade punishment.Destroying the radio or other means of communication needed to call for help.Once the Ships are Burnt, it's do or die for everyone - succeed, or face death or captivity. Dissenters are silenced when there are no choices left to argue over, and everyone's best hope of survival lies in cooperating for the common success. Desertion or mutiny is futile if there is no hope of escape. There isn't any use in holding back or playing it safe when there is no exit option to fall back on. The assumed benefit of such an act is that everyone on the team - whether it be an actual army intent on conquest, or any party pursuing a risky undertaking will show maximum commitment if they know that retreat is impossible. Most people today have heard this tale about Hernán Cortés doing it during the Spanish Conquest of the Aztec Empire, but it is in fact centuries older than him. The figure of speech derives from legends about conquerors who supposedly, upon landing their army in enemy country, ordered the invasion fleet to be burnt. And I think that art helps bridge the gap."Burning the/your ships/boats" means doing something that makes it impossible for yourself to turn back, especially if it is done willfully and without necessity. I hope (the album) accompanies people on the journey of life, that they can put it on and they can say, ‘Man, I’m not alone in this.‘ I think one of the greatest crimes of today is how many lonely people there are in the world - in a world that is so connected. I think it is art’s job to poke at things that shouldn’t be poked. Although things may have seemed tough at times, we dug deep within ourselves and found that while it’s not easy to reconcile the past, the voyage ahead becomes substantially clearer if you can. We found ourselves contemplating many different themes and feelings between our last album and now. When life gets difficult, it may be tough to look at things in a positive light. We hope that the music on this album conveys that sentiment and connects with everyone in a positive way. Like a lot of us, our own journey hasn’t always been easy, but we’ve found that you can rise up from the dust, walk away, and dance among the heartache. This record is about how we learn from our past – how we use that knowledge to inform our future. “Comptine d'un autre été, l'après-midi” from Amélie (2001) “Written on the Sky” from Disconnect (2012) “The Crown Main Title” from The Crown (2016-) “Stranger Things” from Stranger Things (2016-) “I’m Not A Hero” from The Dark Knight (2008) “Dream Is Collapsing” from Inception (2010) “Like A Dog Chasing Cars” from The Dark Knight (2008) 14th, 2018, the playlist included the following tracks: Many of these are playing a hand in the inspiration of the band’s third album.”Īs of Sept.
