Mellah - Paseo (Official Video) Listen to/get ’Paseo’ here: Pre-order Mellah’s new EP, ’Middle England’: ---------------------------------------------------- “I made this video with the intention of shedding light on the hypocrisy in the reverence we hold for certain animals over others. We gladly slaughter over 56 billion animals worldwide each year for food (not including fish, those numbers are closer to two and a half thousand billion...) but the thought of killing and eating a dog seems abhorrent, even evil, to us. Our detachment from the process of death is astonishing to me, chicken shops adorn images of happy chickens with a thumbs up, McDonalds adverts show twee, stop animation cows willingly showing you which part of their body you will eat in a burger. Why are we shocked by blood and death when most of us partake in it every day? Place a lamb and a puppy in front of a child, I guarantee you it won’t play with one of them and rip the other ones leg off to munch on. If you were wondering, I don’t eat meat myself, cos it’s weird.” - Mellah ---------------------------------------------------- ‘Paseo’ Lyrics: I can walk your dog I can wash your car, I can fetch your dinner from the abattoir, We can talk all night I can rake your lawn, We can take a trip to the movies lest the feeling’s gone. It’s a sweet parade it’s a paseo, My dog is always with me but he mostly barks alone. WOOF Lock your windows bolt your doors, Keep out the sweetness to the weakness of the left of the law, Take another look down on the street some of us are sleeping on the floor, Make sure you’re always scared of something except for sending the boys to war. I can walk your dog I can wash your car, I can fetch your dinner from the abattoir, We can talk all night I can rake your lawn, We can take another trip to the movies lest the feeling’s gone. It’s a sweet parade it’s a lullaby, contentment’s sitting in the back of your eye, It’s a fire in the day it’s a long way home, My dog is always with me but he mostly barks alone. WOOF. ---------------------------------------------------- Follow Mellah: Facebook: Twitter: Instagram: YouTube: Website: -------------------------------------------------- More from Mellah: ’Liminality’ (EP):
