about

Dance-post-punk duo Hearts & Rockets’ new synth-heavy single The Promise sounds like the indie sleeze offspring of The Cramps and The B-52s. Kalindy’s bratty vocals demand servitude, while Kurt’s stabbing bass punctures the synth’s driving melodies, all set to a disco beat.

The Promise conjures nostalgic pacts we all made to each other as kids, a reminder of the trust we put in those first and important friendships. It’s also about how faith in a person can ultimately lead to your demise. It’s also about Doctor Who lol.

lyrics

When I say jump you say how high
When I say jump you say how high
When I say jump you say how high
Stick a needle in my eye
When I say jump you say how high

When I say jump you say how high
Cross my heart and hope to die
Stick a needle in my eye
Promise not to tell a lie
Never wanna say goodbye
Cross my heart and hope to die
Stick a needle in my eye
When I say jump when I say jump

When I say jump you say how high
When I say jump you say how high
When I say jump you say how high
If you don’t you’re gonna die
When I say jump you say how high

When I say jump you say how high
Cross my heart and hope to die
Stick a needle in my eye
Promise not to make you cry
Now it’s time to say goodbye
Cross my heart and hope to die
Stick a needle in my eye
When I say jump when I say jump
When I say jump
When I say jump
When I say jump
When I say jump
