BGS Wraps: Calexico, “Hear the Bells”

Dec 5, 2020

Artist: Calexico
Song: “Hear the Bells”
Album: Seasonal Shift
Release Date:
December 4, 2020

In Their Words: “When writing songs for a seasonal album, I wanted to include some of the aspects of celebrations and traditions observed in Tucson around early November. This song is about holding time and space for memories. Dia de Los Muertos and The All Souls Procession are two events that have influenced Southern Arizona and remembering those who’ve passed away. But it could also be about giving memories importance, too. The story could be about two lovers or two family members.” — Joey Burns, Calexico
