Exploring Birdsong release new music video for ‘Romanticise’

EXPLORING BIRDSONG have released a brand new single!

The track, titled Romanticise, is the brand new single from the Liverpool-based alt-pop/prog rock band and follows on from their previous single, All I Lack, which was released in December last year.

Speaking about the song, the band says, Romanticise is centred around a relationship plagued by toxicity. Written from the perspective of the perpetrator, lyrically it depicts the needless and unnecessary frustration & anger shown towards their partner. The chorus had to be catchy. This was written first, and as the writing process developed and lyrical content was formed, we wanted the breakdown section to match the chaotic and aggressive nature of the lyrics.

The opening line to the chorus is a sarcastic jab at the protagonist’s partner; ‘You could romanticise a car wreck at eighty’ – it illustrates their frustration at a tenaciously positive outlook, and is followed by ‘would you anatomise the way I’m behaving?’, shifting the blame from themselves as if their behaviour is being overly scrutinised when questioned. The song is written – unfortunately – from personal experience.”
