Pittsburgh, PA-based, The Homeless Gospel Choir release new single, “Blind Faith”. The song is taken from upcoming album, This Land Is Your Landfill – available on 24th April from A-F Records (North America) and Hassle Records (UK/EU).
Derek Zanetti of The Homeless Gospel Choir is unapologetically honest in “Blind Faith”, with lyrics about current topics, including the relationship people have with religion.
“There’s a sparkle in the eye of those in positions of power when the people are scared, paranoid, and in need of guidance.” says Derek Zanetti on the single.
“The danger with religion is that it holds hostage common sense and good basic reason for something that is intangible, unexplainable, and without proof. There’s a comfort in blindly following something. I think people feel secure with clinging to an answer even if they know that the answer they have is wrong. That’s what they are banking on, and that’s the scariest part. This song is about continually witnessing others getting beat by blindly following something they know is broken, and not being able to get through to them.”
“Blind Faith” is a taster of what’s to come in This Land Is Your Landfill – as Zanetti serves up a unique melting pot of sociopolitical issues, with a side of personal ones too.
