šŸŽ§ Approved: Somebody's Child

Dublinā€™s Somebodyā€™s Child, led by Cian Godfrey, possess that Sam Fender-esque ability to blend power and resonance with vulnerability, merging the yearning spirit of post-punk revivalists with a cinematic indie-rock edge.

Their new single, ā€˜Time Of My Lifeā€™, written in the final stages of recording their sophomore album, ā€˜When Youth Fades Awayā€™ (set for release on 28 Mar), is a two-chord anthem that encapsulates the bittersweet nostalgia of lifeā€™s fleeting moments. As Godfrey reflects, ā€œItā€™s about the flashing of life before your eyes, ending in a feeling of resolve, leaving legacy through songs and accepting fate. It was one of the most cathartic songs weā€™ve ever writtenā€.

The track came together in a moment of unexpected inspiration. Godfrey recalls, ā€œWeā€™ve always wanted to write a two chord song and this finally came out without force. Another one that was written with an idea; ā€˜letā€™s close out the albumā€™. We were about to give up on writing that day and we gave it one last go. Less than an hour later, we had a full song with more lyrics than weā€™ve ever had. I remember the feeling so well. I thought weā€™d been at it for six hours. Pure elationā€.

Recorded in the US with Grammy Award-winning producer Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Frightened Rabbit), ā€˜Time Of My Lifeā€™ is just a taste of whatā€™s to come on their highly anticipated sophomore album.
