Riley Pearce, von dem bereits Anfang des Jahres auf ANEWFRIEND die Schreibe war, hat einen neuen Song draußen. In „Elephants“, welches laut Aussage des australischen Singer/Songwriter-Newcomers von der Beziehung zu seinem Bruder handelt, zeichnet Pearce melancholische Bilder vom Alltagstrott und den kleinen Fluchtmöglichkeiten daraus… Schön.

 

268x0w„Elephants was written about my brother and I’s relationship.

He lives on the other side of the world and we always have been close so extra effort is needed now with the time difference to keep in touch. He used to collect elephants when he was a kid (little toy ones).

It got me thinking that if someone was to actually collect elephants how hard it would be but if it meant a lot to them, much like with relationships, you do what you can to make it work.“

 

Hier gibt’s das Musikvideo…

 

…und den Song in der „7 Layers“-Live-Session:

 

„I live in an old house
Down by the seaside
Work in an office
But I hate what that feels like
I collect elephants
I got nowhere to put them
But they’re important to me

And I hope you call me
When you feel alone
When you’re missing home
Send a siren out to sea
If not for you, then do it for me

Sometime I choke up on nothing but fish
Open the fridge and I know there’s nothing in there
I collect elephants
And they shit everywhere
But they’re important to me

And I hope you call me
When you feel alone
When you’re missing home
Send a siren out to sea
If not for you, then do it for me

And I hope you call me
When you feel alone
When you’re missing home
Send a siren out to sea
If not for you, then do it for me

I hope you call me
When you feel alone
When you’re missing home
Send a siren out to sea
If not for you, then do it for me“

 

Rock and Roll.
