Cows Are Dead

Cows Are Dead is a song by American experimental band, Powell Adobe, released on December 21, 2018 on their debut album, The Legend of Ye. The song is a hypothetical story about all cows dying, and the problems the world is facing because of their extinction. The song was made to raise awareness of climate change, and how it can affect the wild life on Earth. Cows Are Dead is one of the 3 singles from The Legend of Ye, and the last single from the album.

Ca$ho said “We were thinking what is something bad that could happen, that isn't the world ending. So we thought of what would happen if all the cows died. The song is kind of about climate change, it shows the horrific reality of what would happen if the world, died from climate change, we would have no more milk and no pizza”

andrewnow has said “It’s just some goofy song we made for fun”

Reception

andrewnow said: "It's one of my favorite songs from the album, and one of the funnest to record, because we were able to get very creative with this song".
