Dirty Dreamer – Piano 39
A song in the key of life.
Formed out of the ashes of Come On Live Long, Dirty Dreamer (top) fly the flag for ambient electro-folk on their new single. Their album The Everyday In Bloom is out on April 8.
The trio are Louise Gaffney, Daithi O’Connor and Ken McCabe.
Louise writes:
“Piano 39 was one of those tracks that almost wrote itself. Daithí started quietly humming a gorgeous melody while jamming a middle section. In between chords I managed to hit the mic so it swung around on the stand and just caught it as he was coming up with it. That little passing moment became the hook.
“The final verse is trying to describe one of those shiny moments of clarity you can have at random when you notice an everyday moment of beauty and you are completely pulled out of yourself.”
Nick says: Don’t shoot the keyboard player.
So good he played it twice, on a wet & windy Wednesday afternoon while listening to General Joe Duffy on national radio urging his newly formed Irish-Brigade to storm the Pentagon walls….sorry, the Kremlin’s walls…Now about to play it for the 3rd time, thanks again Dirty Dreamers ….
Really like that.
