The melodic indie-rock band make a noteworthy return with their emotive, climate-conscious new single ‘I Wish I Could Fly’.
Seattle is notorious for its vibrant music scene that has been producing highly successful artists for decades, including Pearl Jam, The Foo Fighters and even Jimi Hendrix. The next Seattle-based band hoping to make it big are the vivacious, genre-bending, La Need Machine.
Their new single ‘I Wish I Could Fly’ highlights the impacts of climate change on wildlife. The storyline follows a black bear that was previously happy roaming the forest until wildfires force him and his fellow animals to leave.
La Need Machine combine the vocals of band members and romantic partners, Brian and Elise to create compelling harmonies that really take the song to the next level. Elegant vocals, comforting guitar riffs and truly inspiring lyrics, the songs musical elements blend seamlessly to create an extremely worthwhile listen.
The powerful lyrics display the depressing reality that so many animals go through due to the devastating effects of global warming. The chorus ‘I wish I could fly so far from here’ references the idea that the bear watches the birds as they flee the danger but he and the animals around him are stuck.
