SOAK – Purgatory
There’s a ghost in my house.
Derry’s indie star Bridie Monds-Watson (top) aka SOAK has collaborated once again with video director Ellius Grace for the latest single from new album If I Never Know You Like This Again, out on Rough Trade on May 20.
SOAK writes:
“‘Purgatory’ is about the weight of time and the perpetual fear of reaching the end of your life, unsatisfied with how you’d spent it. The song came out of a slump phase, I wasn’t really a fan of myself and honestly just felt rather lost.
“In ways that felt like its own purgatory. I was trying to figure out how to make myself feel better, become a ‘better version’ of myself. So I guess whilst this song is about panic, it’s equally about the pursuit of change.”
Nick says: Heaven can wait.
Wonderful, thanks.
