Dublinās Somebodyās 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, āTime Of My Lifeā, written in the final stages of recording their sophomore album, āWhen Youth Fades Awayā (set for release on 28 Mar), is a two-chord anthem that encapsulates the bittersweet nostalgia of lifeās fleeting moments. As Godfrey reflects, āItās 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 weāve ever writtenā.
The track came together in a moment of unexpected inspiration. Godfrey recalls, āWeāve always wanted to write a two chord song and this finally came out without force. Another one that was written with an idea; āletās 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 weāve ever had. I remember the feeling so well. I thought weād been at it for six hours. Pure elationā.
Recorded in the US with Grammy Award-winning producer Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Frightened Rabbit), āTime Of My Lifeā is just a taste of whatās to come on their highly anticipated sophomore album.
