We did this cover of ‘Killer Queen’ by Queen before we wrote this song. We'd sing a harmony all together and do it eight times, then the next harmony all together in the booth eight times, building these huge gang vocals like they would. I think that opened our eyes to what we could do vocally as a group. We wanted to show that we all sing, but we can do it in a way that's different from when we were younger—more of an Eagles, Crosby Stills Nash way, those big rock harmonies.

"Red Desert" is a song by 5 Seconds of Summer and appears as the first track on their fourth studio album, CALM.

Lyrics[]

All:
Red, red desert, heal our blues
I'd dive deeper for you
What a blessing to feel your love
Twilight moments with you

Luke:
I’ve been asleep so long, I'm so far away
Visions I see are strong, I hear what they say
Won't you leave all your fears at the edge of the world?
I’ll tell you again like I told you before
I've been asleep so long, wasting away

Tell me, would you pack up all your bags, stay true to North?
You're the only one I'd do this for

All:
Red, red desert, heal our blues
I'd dive deeper for you
What a blessing to feel your love
Twilight moments with you

Luke:
It doesn't take too long (Ah) to heal and replace (Ah)
The demons we're running from (Ah), they're begging to stay

Tell me, would you pack up all your bags, stay true to North?
You’re the only one I’d do this for

All:
Red, red desert, heal our blues
I'd dive deeper for you
What a blessing to feel your love
Twilight moments with you

Red
Red
Red, red
Red, red

All:
Red, red desert, heal our blues
I’d dive deeper for you
(Dive in deeper for you, dive in deeper for you)
What a blessing to feel your love
Twilight moments with you
(All these moments with you, all these moments with you)

Pack up all your bags, stay true to North
You're the only one I'd do this for
Red, red desert, heal our blues
I'd dive deeper for you
