After yesterday’s narrated number about the passing of time from Francis Lung, a wistful yet optimistic, melancholy but upbeat, talking-singing catchy synth-pop single by the charismatic Bristol artist with a nostalgic celebration of life in the absence of conventional success.
Emily describes the song as “a reflection on a gloriously misspent youth and a celebration of the magic, misery, miracles and monotony that are sewn into the fabric of everyday existence where you are the hero of your own mythic quest. It’s a quest that involves biblical first loves and tragic one night stands, epic all nighters and the quiet desperation that follows as your dreams disperse like the fronds of a dandelion clock in the cold morning air. You blink, two decades have passed and you become the thing you always despised, a three-dimensional, functional adult with reasonable expectations.”
Out on Sugar Shack Records. To explore more of Emily’s music, see also the other links below as well as her Bandcamp page.
