Exploring Birdsong are headlining London’s St Pancras Old Church tonight, November 5, and tomorrow, November 6. After the first date sold out in two minutes, the band added a second. This also sold out in minutes, underlining the breathless excitement building around the group.
“‘Romanticise’ is centered around a relationship plagued by toxicity,” the band shares. “Written from the perspective of the perpetrator, lyrically it depicts the needless and unnecessary frustration and anger shown towards their partner. The chorus had to be catchy. This was written first, and as the writing process developed and lyrical content was formed, we wanted the breakdown section to match the chaotic and aggressive nature of the lyrics.”
The band continues. “The opening line to the chorus is a sarcastic jab at the protagonist’s partner — ‘You could romanticise a car wreck at eighty’ — it illustrates their frustration at a tenaciously positive outlook, and is followed by ‘Would you anatomise the way I’m behaving?,’ shifting the blame from themselves as if their behavior is being overly scrutinized when questioned. The song is written, unfortunately, from personal experience.”
