Fantastic Negrito says: “It all came together on that fateful day September 9, 2020. Everyone in Northern California woke up to a blood red sun on an orange sky. The air quality was the worst we had ever experienced. It felt and looked apocalyptic. Everything came to mind; climate change, drought, water management. It was quite terrifying and it inspired me to write a song that would bring attention to how treacherous our yearly fire season is. I wake up in the middle of the night sometimes in fear of being trapped by fire. We must find the will to meet this environmental crisis.”

Fantastic Negrito has partnered with Defy:Disaster so that a portion of the song proceeds will go to support firefighters, first responders, and communities impacted by wildfires throughout North America. You can also donate here: https://bit.ly/donatefirefund

Lyrics:
Better Pack your bags better get out fast
Running from the California smoke and ash
Everything’s gone in the wink of an eye
Blood shot sun on an orange sky

Can you hear the sound ?
It’s burning to the ground
I can hear the sound
When I be rolling through California

Everything’s charred property and cars
They tried to get away but They didn’t get far
The air quality is looking bad
Everybody outside is wearing a mask

Can hear the sound ?
It’s burning to the ground
I can hear the sound
When I be rolling through California

5 years ago today it never was this way
We used to laugh and point at Arizona
While they played with their guns
We laid out in the sun
Ohhh how heavenly our paradise was

5 years ago today it never was this way
We used to laugh and point at Arizona
While they played with their guns
We laid out in the sun
Ohhh how heavenly our paradise was

Can hear the sound ?
It’s burning to the ground
I can hear the sound
When I be rolling through California
