‘A song about ‘the demons’, and the frustration and pain of watching someone close to you seemingly choose them. I wrote this a few years ago, working with Simon Johnson in the UK on all the guitar work. I often have to sing and describe what I’m aiming for, ie. ‘bendy notes’: always a joyous experience! I’ve been building up the track for a while now, eventually adding more synths: the haunting strings, ethereal swirls, trying to get a more manic sound into the song. And, as the song reaches a crescendo – where angels meet madness – adding layer upon layer of backing vocals, here in my Co. Wicklow Studio.’
Written by Far Away Blonde, AKA Julie Horton, Goddam Mud is the fourth release (Feb 28) from the upcoming debut, and self-titled album, ‘Far Away Blonde’.
