modernlove. Drops New Music Video for “Don't Feel Myself”
Irish pop-rock band modernlove., consisting of Barry Lally (vocals/guitar), Cian McCluskey (drums), Daniel Rooney (bass) and Graham Fagan (guitar), dropped a new music video for “Don't Feel Myself” directed by Louis Bryant on April 5, 2024.
The song was released on March 27th, following the released of “unfamiliar ceilings” last December.
The track was written by Barry Lally, Cian McCluskey, Daniel Rooney, and Graham Fagan. Produced by modernlove. and Tom Leach.
The band said of the song, ”Don’t Feel Myself is about going through bouts of disassociation, existential crisis and having a crisis of identity compounded with unhealthy lifestyle choices and coping mechanisms.It explores these themes through an analogous story of a ‘mad night out’ in which we drunkenly stumble through a number of different shady settings and wrestle with all kinds of troubles/situations from panic attacks and derealisation to bursts of mania that inevitably end up in us being consumed with existential dread the morning after.”- They continued, “Maybe it’s not so “analogous” if we’re being honest. The song recognises that these things we do to cope only give us fleeting moments of relief from what afflict us and end up feeding them in the end in a vicious cycle. They’re a temporary bandage on a much more permanent wound. Sonically, the song reflects this dynamic between the chaos and mania of a night out with heavy and rhythmic drum and bass, accompanied by dizzying guitar hooks that dance in circles in the chorus and the the verses which sober up and are much colder, more pensive and laden with a slow, sinking feeling.”
