SINGLE PREMIERE: Oh My My - 'Woe, My Heart'

After an impressive debut earlier in the year, Oh My My is back today with new single Woe, My Heart, premiering exclusively on theMusic.com.au. Yep, we're entering heartbreak territory folks. 

The hypnotic track made for letting go of demons on the dance floor, is grounded in pacey percussion mimicking an ever-quickening and anxious heartbeat.

The man behind the music, Sam Thomlinson, explains that the song "was written for a good friend who was going through a pretty tough off and on relationship/break up".

"It’s mostly about heartbreak, but also how someone can knowingly continue to hurt someone they claim to care about, just to appease their own loneliness," he said.

"Musically this song is all about the piano and vocal. I tried not to sully those parts with too much embellishment.

"There are moments where I’m really trying to show the heartbreak in the lyrics with disjointed chord changes; other times I’ve tried to use ambient whispering and talking to reflect the feeling of being locked in your own thoughts."

Check out the track above and get ready for your heart to be chewed up and spat back out.
