“There Is Always a Dawn” by Judas Goat and the Bellwether is an evocative musical masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of traditional folk-rock, offering a poignant exploration of environmental consciousness and societal awakening. This single, born out of the creative crucible of The Climates Songwriting Competition, stands as a testament to the power of music as a vehicle for social change.
At its heart, the song is a haunting lament for the environmental devastation wrought by industrialization and fossil fuel dependency. Inspired by William Blake’s evocative imagery of “dark satanic mills,” the lyrics paint a vivid portrait of a world consumed by greed and indifference, where rivers run black and skies turn to gray under the suffocating grip of corporate exploitation. Sara Vian’s ethereal vocals soar above Pete Vincent’s masterful instrumentation, weaving a spellbinding tapestry of sound that captures the listener’s imagination and stirs the soul. From the mournful strains of the guitar to the haunting melody of the vocals, each note and lyric is imbued with a sense of urgency and longing, urging us to confront the darkness of environmental degradation and reclaim our collective humanity.

Through their poignant storytelling and soul-stirring melodies, Judas Goat and the Bellwether have crafted an anthem for our times—one that inspires hope, ignites passion, and compels us to imagine a brighter, more sustainable future for all.
