Album: FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE (2022)

‘There Were Bells’ was written by Brian Eno for a performance by him and his brother Roger at UNESCO World Heritage site, the Acropolis in August 2021. It was 45 degrees in Athens on the day of the concert with wildfires raging just outside the city, prompting his introductory comment “I thought, here we are at the birthplace of Western civilization, probably witnessing the end of it.” There Were Bells is taken from Eno’s new album FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE and provides a poignant reminder of the current climate emergency, a theme that is explored throughout the record.

Scritta nel 2021 per una performance all’Acropoli: il giorno del concerto, ricorda, la temperatura ad Atene era di oltre 43 gradi e gli incendi divampavano intorno alla città: “eccoci nel luogo dov’è nata la civiltà occidentale, e probabilmente ne stiamo testimoniando la fine”.
