Hawk Björn Returns with Heart-Warming Single ‘We Are A Little Crazy’

Writing about Hawk Björn’s newest offering feels like meeting an old friend after a few months apart. Indeed, we wrote about the Canadian troubadour back in October, celebrating his album ‘Alchemy’ as “the product of generational wisdom, a collection of experiences (painful and positive) accumulated by Björn in his lifetime”. If those sound like pompous words, it’s probably because Hawk’s work should be treated with elegance and timeless gusto.

Now, the Vancouver-based songwriter and musician has returned with another cathartic, heartwarming single, ‘We Are A Little Crazy’. Still riddled with power-pop influences, the record also reveals a more contemporary flair. If we had to describe it, it would be a blend of The Beatles and gentle AOR from the 80s and 90s. The chorus is wonderful, with Björn delivering evocative, luscious melodies in an atmospheric, nuanced arrangement. Notably, the tonal change in the outro adds a touch of euphoria and playfulness. 

From a lyrical standpoint, the song reflects its aural livery, seeking to embrace a carefree, fierce outlook on life and the world. In fact, Hawk has been travelling the globe himself. He explains: “So I’m travelling the world for a few years. Writing, reflecting, recording. Life is short and so much kindness is needed.”
