Posted earlier today (by Robert) on BRMC’s social media channels:

I will be live on Reddit ‘AMA’ Tomorrow. Tuesday @ 4pm UK time / 9am Pacific Time. 
There’s been a lot that’s been going on. So literally anything from the 20th anniversary of B.R.M.C.’s first album, to this crazy ass film score (…and everything in between). I’ll do my best to remember the last 2 decades and what the hell just happened. 
I also personally really just like hearing stories from you guys since there’s so much shared history, and memories can get lost when locked inside the head all alone. 
PS hopefully Pete&Leah will get inspired to do an AMA next… But for now i’m first up to the plate-

Link to the Reddit AMA:

I am Robert Levon Been, one of founding members of the band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. I spent the last year during lockdown composing the score for Paul Schrader’s film ‘The Card Counter’ – out now, and a BRMC 20th Anniversary thing that’s coming, so before I completely pass out, Ask me anything…

Posted today on BRMC and Robert Levon Been’s YouTube pages, another new track from The Card Counter soundtrack!

when your silent eyes won’t speak
but you can’t feel the quiet
and your strumming all the strings
but there’s nothing but darkness
with your crying eyes
it’s only your prayers that your fighting
and the way is shown
but you can’t see the world without starlight

so you hollow yourself in the mercy of man
you just need something to find your way home
and a spire of dreams are the finest of things
you just need someone to carry you home

when your quiet eyes won’t speak
but you can’t feel the silence
and your forced to scrape and steal
till your nothin but diamond

and royal kings or a choir of thieves
you just need someone to find your way home
a spire of dreams are the finest of things
you just need someone to carry you home
