about

“Will you stop your world to save me too?”. That’s the catchy line Hunch Power belt out on their debut single, a storming 3-minute track that puts World leaders on the spot.

The song was inspired by the social unrest caused by the Partygate scandal going on at Downing Street during the Covid lockdowns plus the lack of action with regards to the Climate Emergency.

An iconic music video precedes the release with a symbolic red phone urging leaders to take action and save lives before it’s too late. It also features a cheeky hint at the infamous Fatima retrain advert.
“Stop the World” was produced, mixed and mastered by Sam Cook (Ducking Punches, Harker). Jack Gregory from Northern Captives and Hell’s Ditch guested on drums.

lyrics

In the park, in the park, in the middle of the park
Where everybody’s eyes can judge and see
What you did was reckless
What you said was pointless
And now it’s our turn to claim some truth
Why did you stop? Did you stop my world from spinning ‘round?
For the sake of the things you consider sacred
Now will you stop? Will you stop your world from spinning ‘round?
Will you stop your world to save me too?

It’s funny how you lock up the windows
But let all the preachers walk in through the door
And you talk, and you talk like you never did before
Not even your mum could tell it’s you
What you did was reckless
What you said was pointless
Now hold your breath ‘cause the tables have turned
Why did you stop? Did you stop my world from spinning ‘round?
For the sake of the things you consider sacred
Now will you stop? Will you stop your world from spinning ‘round?
Will you stop your world to save me too?
Will you stop your world to save me too?
Will you stop your world to save me?

Now will you stop? Will you stop? Will you stop? Will you stop? Will you stop?

Why did you stop? Did you stop my world from spinning ‘round?
For the sake of the things you consider sacred
Now will you stop? Will you stop your world from spinning ‘round?
Will you stop your world to save me too?

Why did you stop? Did you stop my world from spinning ‘round?
For the sake of the things you consider sacred
Now will you stop? Will you stop your world from spinning ‘round?
Will you stop your world to save me too?
