about

Building on their first single ‘Dreams & Happiness’, this release shows two more sides of DIRT, from their forthcoming album BLOOM. A celebration of the long-lost Double A-Side, both tracks continue to reveal the multi-faceted aspects to this duo, who up until a year ago were a trio with deeply missed third DIRT member, Malcolm Black.

‘Better Think Twice’ features Malcolm’s soulful vocal take on Barry’s lyric about how “one person’s words or actions can adversely impact on other people’s lives, and perhaps you had ‘Better Think Twice’ before you do it” says Blackler. The song gradually builds momentum as it traverses an ingrained musical timeline – with Spectorish harmonies and tambourine-laced bass drum firmly planted in the ‘60’s, a quick nod to 90’s Manchester keys, and a suitably atmospherically sonic lead guitar taking it into the sound of DIRT 2020.

lyrics

Its not what you want
Or how you get it
It’s the things that you do
Or you’ll regret it
It’s the things that you say
Oh you better think twice
The things that you do
The things that you say

It’s not damaged goods
If it’s been used
It’s not to throw away
If it’s been used
The thing’s that you loved
Is a part of you
You better think twice
Or you’ll regret it

If we could fly high
If we could fly high
We could fly high

Won’t you fly
We could fly
We could fly high

If you get it
If you didn’t try
Said you’d never forget
If you could fly high
Oh you’ll never regret it

Its not what you want..

Said its not what you want
Or how you get it
It’s the thing that you do
It’s the things that you say
It’s the things that you said
I think you’d better think twice
Said its not what you say
If you didn’t try

Never regret it
Said you’ll never regret it.......
No you’ll never regret it
You’ll never regret it
Fly...

Better Think Twice...

Fly High
Fly High

Better Think Twice.
