The Shipbuilders - Hills of Mexico

An imagined soundtrack to the 1940 classic Ernest Hemingway book 'For Whom the Bells Tolls', 'Hills of Mexico' is an urgent, dramatic charge of a song that surges to a dramatic climax, courtesy of some cinematic guitar and cello (provided by Evelyn Halls aka Pet Snake). Drawing on inspiration from 'Desire'-era Dylan and '..Grace with God'-era Pogues, the thrilling song is the second single to released from the band's upcoming second album 'This Blue Earth'. Speaking of the song, singer-songwriter Matty Loughlin-Day explains: "I've long had a fascination with the Spanish Civil War and 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' is essential. Whilst reading the book, so many powerful lines and images jumped out at me and smacked me in the face, so in writing this song, I wanted to capture the sense of drama, adrenaline and anticipation that comes across in the text. Hemingway is my favourite author and so I also wanted to try and emulate his style of writing by being economic and using as few lines as possible to portray mammoth sentiments, in this case, rebellion, heroics and pondering about how our actions now ring through into eternity... Danny Lee was given the brief that I wanted this to feel like a soundtrack for an epic film and his direction was to create guitar parts that sound urgent, dramatic and have a sense of longing. It's probably the song that so far has best captured the sound in my head." SHIPW008 released via Shipwrecked Records on 3rd June 2025 Lyrics: Taking shelter in the mountain's shadow The hunger of loneliness leaving me hollow Keeping an eye on the beacons on the ridge for at first light, we storm the posts and blow the bridge Thinking of Marie and the promises I keep Am I facing the eternal sleep? On nights like these I would offer up a prayer But since we've killed God there's no-one there And so do I dare to let my dreams go to the hills of Mexico? Immortality, immortality, immortality! Has fate betrayed me? And so do I dare to let my dreams do to the hills of Mexico? Written by Matty Loughlin-Day.
