take me to the broken homes
the barking dogs and rusty cars
crazy thought
take me to the hanging ropes
the smashed open windows
crazy thought
meet all the melting children,
the cold arms of friends
who just watch us run
to see how fast it ends
meet all the happy people
with pasts full of blindness
you can never learn to know them
to try would be mindless
take me to the concrete faces
the cut down trees and closing eyes
crazy thought
take me to the broken homes
the barking dogs and rusty cars
crazy thought
take me home
'cause I'm driving this car
with the devil in the backseat
hearts on the floor
and no one can track me

There’s a mighty cinematic sweep in the songs on the latest from Badlands, the big and imposing orchestration with dreamlike vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 27, 2022
Sweden's Catharina Jaunviksna, aka Badlands, creates gently glowing '80s-inspired pop - think of it as new wave in pastel rather than neon. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 2, 2021
