With his debut album in final preparations, Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, musician ERIC HIRSHBERG has released a song suited for these tumultuous times. “(Keep Mar-a-Lago But) I Want America Back” is from HIRSHBERG’s forthcoming debut album, SPARE ROOM, due out later this summer.
“(Keep Mar-a-Lago But) I Want America Back” was written over the past few years since Trump took office. The song’s propulsive energy and lyrics mince no words, articulating the frustration that Hirshberg–and the majority of Americans–feel with the current occupant of The White House. The song’s powerful chorus states, “Keep Mar-a-Lago, but I want America back.”
ERIC explains, “”With a chorus like ‘Keep Mar-a-Lago, but I want America back,’ I don’t think there’s any way for me to sugar coat–this is an anti-Donald Trump song. I’m not trying to convince anyone who disagrees with me to agree with me. I’m just trying to create a sonic release valve for my unspeakable levels of frustration at the current state of things in America, and offering it up to those who do agree with me. The photos which serve as the foundation for the video were taken at The Women’s March in both New York and LA, the March for Our Lives in LA, and at various Black Lives Matter protests around the country–all since Trump took office. It works as a sort of sad scrapbook for the near constant state of protest we’ve been in for the past three and a half years.”
