While you took your time,
You wasted mine
I said “I wanted you”
You said you felt too blue
And while you were making up your mind
I lost mine
We don’t like the same things
I want to dance and you just want to drink
I want to talk and you just want to sit alone and think
About how you hate it here
How you wish you could disappear
How you’re jealous of everyone ‘cause they have fun
The song describes the divide in a relationship. It tells the story of being with someone who wants more, but you can’t give it to them. It is the feeling of dragging someone back because you feel too blue. The song was written and recorded over quarantine from the bedrooms of NewDad.
アイルランド西海岸ゴウルウエイ発のドリーミィーなオルタナティブポップバンド NewDad はドリーミーよりも「woozy」がお似合いでぼんやりふらふらくらくらめまいがして吐き気がします。彼らの「Blue」は90年代の雰囲気を少し感じさせながらも瞑想的でメランコリックな風合いとエモ生々しく情熱的な感じの情熱とグルーヴィーさをたっぷりともりつけています。アイルランドで人気上昇中の要注目バンドで今年のサウスバイサウスウエストに登場予定。
NewDad (Galway, Ireland) From the West Coast of Ireland, this alternative indie rock band brings sombre themes to life with their easy-going sound, raw vocals and thrumming backing.
Growing up in Galway, Ireland the four members of NewDad formed while still at school and thank a random band name generator for their unusual moniker. Dark and stormy with undeniably beautiful moments amid the mammoth guitars, their debut ‘Waves’ EP acted as a perfect introduction to the world NewDad have created for themselves. There’s a heaviness to the music, which the band pin to a love of The Cure, Pixies, and Slowdive among others. But it’s not just in the feedback that NewDad find their truth, Julie’s songwriting brings a subtlety to their sound, weaving personal relationships and influences from the worlds of literature and cinema to add depth. Banshee is the band’s second EP releasing on 9th February 2022. Featuring previous single ‘Ladybird’, it’s fully-realised, richer record and marks a new high for this emerging band. The EP was recorded and co-produced in Belfast with frequent collaborator Chris W Ryan and mixed by John Congleton (Lana Del Rey + more). NewDad have confirmed more live dates for next year following the incredible success of their first sold out UK tour. Upcoming dates include SXSW, All Points East, a UK + IRE Tour, plus their first US shows (LA + NY).
