Single Focus: Broadstone

Answered by: Chris Beltrame

Single title? Let Me

What's the song about? The struggles of a bloke who needs a little company, only to find out that it comes at a cost.

How long did it take to write/record? This track took about six months start to finish. The music came first, and the lyrics quickly after that. I sat on it for a while to practice it live, then tracked it solo.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? It's from my first EP Genesis, set to drop early April.

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? The writing was inspired by a friend of mine, the recording was more about the drive to create something I'm proud of... I didn't get there; I don't think I ever will despite what happens. 

We'll like this song if we like... San Cisco, John Butler, Neil Young, Joe Cocker, Jeff Buckley, Leon Russell.

Do you play it differently live? Most of my songs are played differently every time I give them a strum. It just so happens that I was into really grainy tones when I tracked it. 

When and where is your launch/next gig? 2 Apr, Wesley Anne. Then a south coast EP tour shortly after.
