I Draw Slow – Bring Out Your Dead
For alt.folk’s sake.
Dublin roots quintet I Draw Slow (top) return after four years with a new single and a fifth album in the pipeline.
Led by songwriting siblings Dave and Louise Holden, the group explain the theme of Bring Out Your Dead.
“It’s about about the challenge of meaningful communication and how we all look for ways to be heard. The defining symbol of this song is the house. Samuel Beckett used a building to personify the body in his play Endgame. If the house is a body, a person can wander from room to room and become trapped, revisiting old hurts, old pathways back to pain. Getting in from the outside takes a lot of persistence and a lot of love. Coaching someone out is even harder.”
Nick says: Slowly does it.
