  • Somebody's Child Announces New Album “When Youth Fades Away”, Shares New Song “Time Of My Life”

  • Irish indie-rock band Somebody's Child has announced their sophomore album “When Youth Fades Away” will be released on March 28, 2025 via Frenchkiss Records.


    The album comprises 11 songs, which the band recorded with producer Peter Katis in the US.
    The band frontman Cian Godfrey said of the album, “If our first album was about running away, this one is about staying put and reflecting. It’s about letting people in and letting ourselves out.”
    From the album, the band released the first single called “Time Of My Life” on November 7, 2024.
    The track was written by Cian Godfrey and Shea Tohill. Produced by Peter Katis.

    Cian Godfrey said of the song, “It’s about the flashing of life before your eyes, ending in a feeling of resolve, leaving a legacy through songs and accepting fate. It was one of the most cathartic songs we’ve ever written. We’ve always wanted to write a 2-chord song, and this finally came out without force. Another one that was written with an idea; ‘let’s close out the album’. We were about to give up on writing that day, and we gave it one last go. Less than an hour later, we had a full song with more lyrics than we’ve ever had. I remember the feeling so well. I thought we’d been at it for 6 hours. Pure elation.”
  • The accompanying music video was directed by Adrian Lee and Cian Godfrey, starring Dublin actress Caroline Menton.
    Cian Godfrey said of the video, “The inspiration behind the music video was a crossover between trainspotting and Skins. I’ve always been a massive fan of film, perhaps more so than music in the literal meaning of the word [fan], and it’s been something I’ve wanted to do for a while now. I think having been inside this world for so long allowed me to visualise the reality of the music.”

    He continued, “My aspiration was to try and bring the audience closer to this world. Something that helped with this visualising during the process was reading Murakami in French. Not being able to fully understand the words allowed my mind to fill in the gaps. His writing and storytelling were a big inspiration throughout. A massive thanks to Apollo Films for helping me with that.”


  • Cian Godfrey added the album's theme, “It’s like going back to your parents’ house and noticing something you haven’t seen in years, and having a completely different perspective on it now that you’re older. Perhaps you’ve reached the age they were upon purchasing it. Whatever it is, it formed a part of your parents life and had significance in their past. You may not have been there for its use, but like the yellowing of a book, it becomes highlighted by time. By recognising this, we are giving value to it.”
