THE PARROTS YOU WORK ALL DAY AND THEN YOU DIE

Arriving via the lovely folks at Heavenly Recordings (on the 29th of October), exuberant Spanish outfit The Parrots have announced their appropriately-titled sophomore album Dos. Signalling the campaign, new single 'You Work All Day And Then You Die' is a contrasting composition of uplifting instrumentation and light-heartedly pessimistic lyricism. Giving some valuable insight into the track's fruition the band shared the following: “We wanted to write this song for a long time. The sounds, the epic in it were something that we had wanted to express for a long time and couldn’t have done it without the help of our amazing producer, Tom Furse. On the lyrical side, we've been feeling that people are settling and giving up their dreams for the ones people post on social media, we wanted to express that lack of individuality, how it's easier to copy other models of success rather than follow your own. With this song we wanted to punch that trend (or feeling) in the face and remind people and ourselves that success has more to do with personal feelings and self care than social acceptance."
