about

This is a protest song written and recorded by a collection of Yangon-based punks who are against the military coup that has gripped Myanmar since 1 February 2021. It pays homage to the cacophony of noise that envelopes the country every night at 8pm when protesters, in resistance to the junta, bang pots and pans, which in Myanmar culture is believed to drive away evil spirits. We wanted to share in this unity by bringing people together from across the Yangon punk community to write and record our own raucous din.

THE REBEL RIOT, CACEROLAZO, KULTURESHOCK, SLINGSHOT, THE OUTCAST have together created this song.

lyrics

THE NIGHT WILL NOT BE SILENCED

Thousands of millions of people
An explosion of opposition
Very determined minds
Oppose the perpetrators of the coup

Widespread everywhere
The sound of pots and pans
A song for freedom
Drive out the fascists

PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND
CAN YOU HEAR THE POTS AND PANS?
THERE IS BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS
CAN YOU HEAR THE POTS AND PANS?

DRIVE OUT THE EVIL
THIS IS THE SOUND OF ANGER AND DISSENT
MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND
HOW FREEDOM TASTED AND WHAT IT MEANT
YOU'LL NEVER BREAK THE PEOPLE
YOU'LL NEVER BREAK THE MILLIONS STRONG
TERROR BY THE SETTING SUN
THE NIGHT WILL NEVER SILENCE THIS SONG

PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND
CAN YOU HEAR THE POTS AND PANS?
THERE IS BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS
CAN YOU HEAR THE POTS AND PANS?

(The world is discontent
With the history written with our blood
Revolution..
The fallens of the democracy battle
Oh our heroes
A country full of martyrs)x2
(Brave red civilians)x2

Some pretty good hardcore punk here. Screeching vocals over fast and catchy riffs: it's a good recipe for a headbang. It's long enough for the listener to appreciate, yet short enough that it doesn't overstay its welcome. Good stuff. Thibaut Devigne
