NEW SINGLE, "ACCOUNTABILITY"
FEATURING BJ COLE ON PEDAL STEEL GUITAR

UK-based punktry musician, DeLila Black, is set to release her 2nd lock-down single, "Accountability" on MAY 14th, 2021. The song is a classic country waltz with Black's signature social justice twist. In following UK lockdown protocols, it was recorded, mixed and mastered remotely.

Black shines on the new track, serving up her punk-country sensibility, while still being topical and timely. It's sweet country music, made even sweeter by the sounds of the mighty BJ Cole on lap steel guitar.

lyrics

Accountability - DeLila Black

Have you no shame?
You know you should when you recall all the things you say.
When you recall all the things you do who gets the blame.
It's always the same.

Have you no shame?
I know you do when thinking of all the measures that you took
To be absolved, who is at fault? Everyone but you. It's never you.

You blame your mom, your dad, the childhood you never had,
your friends, your fears, your thoughts.
It's all the heart break to blame. Everyone but you. It's never you.

What do you think about, what do you figure out
as you wonder how this came to be?
Do you ponder when you wonder before you fall gently to sleep?
And in the night do you awake
because your mind is all a flutter with all these things?
Does accountability come one day to everyone but you?

You blame your mom, your dad, the childhood you never had
your friends, your education.
You blame your job, your home, your kids, your wife,
the law, the church, your god, your life,
the way you feel today, the love that let you slip away,
your fears. Your validation:
It's all the heart break to blame.
Everyone but you. It's never you.
