about

“The Governor’s Dead” is a Carribean-inspired murder ballad. The buoyant tropical arrangement hides beneath it a darker tale of mystery and retribution. With its repetitive structure and catchy hooks, this song will leave you to ponder power, perspective, and the political moment.

“I wrote this song while living in Cuba and Chile, as a catchy and playful song that drew from the palette of music I was surrounded by. The content of the song alludes to tumultuous history of coups, revolutions, and assassinations that I was learning about at the time.” - Ames Harding
