Releasing October 3rd, Davey Lane‘s debut record Atonally Young has all of us at the AU a little bit excited. Now today we’re excited to bring you an exclusive taste of the release with the single “In The Light of the Sun”. Before we get to the track – and the announcement of his October and November tour dates – we asked Davey to tell us a little bit about the song:
“I thought of my gran when I wrote it. I sat in a hospital room for a week seeing her decline more and more every day, waiting for the inevitable to happen. It was the most conflicted I’ve ever felt. I didn’t want to let go but every night I went home I secretly hoped that she’d pass peacefully in the night, as much as I hated myself for it.”
“I felt bad for the nurses there who had to tell us about which organs had started shutting down that day and then probably walk across the hall to tell another family exactly the same thing. BUT, it’s something that everyone in the world has to deal with at some point innit? It was fucked and its something I’m physically incapable of talking about (lucky I’m writing this), so when regressives like myself get these kinda feelings and you have the ability to write a song, you write them into a song don’t ya?”
