Porridge Radio have shared ‘Sick of the Blues’ ahead of the release of their fourth album ‘Clouds in the Sky They Will Always Be There For Me’ on 18 October via Secretly Canadian.
Described by Dana Margolin as a song ‘about being heartbroken and taking back some joy, remembering that you’re the source of your own happiness’, the song opens with her lamenting the fact that her relationship has ended and repeating the title of the song over and over again. As Dana agonisingly pleads ‘I’ll try to find you but I don’t know what I’m looking for’, the guitars get turned up and veer into a scuzzy art pop direction.
Dana then defiantly declares ‘I’m in love with my life again’ as she decides to look forward before the song finishes with an unexpected – and most welcome – brass interlude.
