Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros have shared their new single “Hot Coals.” This preview off their latest project has an eclectic mix of instruments that come together in this Jazz-like fashion that will get you shaking your head, slapping your knee, and singing “doot, doo-doot” in no time.
The 7 minute-plus long song is led by its piano part, but it’s the horns breathes and keyboard that give this song life.

“Hot Coals” Lyrics
Hot coals laying on my motorcade / Jewelry gone, eyes still blue / Thin memories in love with you, my hoary fire / In love with you.
Get the fuck out my sight.
Cold eats the flesh of broken hearts / tender the strike of tinder gods.
Hot coals.
Embers across a rayless sky / still warm my soul, I often cry.
Hot coals.
Slag reveries in love with you / my hoary fire, in love with you.
Stay the fuck in my heart.
Hot coals tonight, Cimmerian.
Hot coals to die, Cimmerian.
Heavy the tongue of tinder ray / shot by the road, a slow decay.
Hot coals.
Heady, the musk of cinder love / ashes beneath her tender rug.
Hot coals.
Slag reveries in love with you / my hoary fire, drip from the skies.
Stay the fuck in my heart.
Hot coals to die, Cimmerian.
Hot coals alive, Cimmerian.
Freedom of / the dying man is God.
Freedom of / the dying man is God.
