about

Driven Snow release “In Moonlight” (FIFA Records / Driven Snow Music) on 9 June 2023. The fourth song to date, “In Moonlight” adds a new texture and dimension to the duo’s emerging catalogue. The jaunty, upbeat instrumentation, rhythms and vocals clash seamlessly with a sorry but familiar tale of a land where housing crisis threatens the life and spirit of its cities.

"It is about the difficulty of being a musician in the city,” Kieran and Emily explain. “The feeling that you have to sacrifice, beyond what’s reasonable, just to survive.”

The fledgling song grew out of a challenge, set by producer Tommy McLaughlin, to write something faster and louder than the rest of their tunes. And somehow it manages to be both melancholy and optimistic, searching and resolute, thoughtful and upbeat. Played live it gets a lasting reaction and is a perfect example of Driven Snow developing their sound while keeping to their strengths: making music that means something."

lyrics

Moonlight
take me home
tell my old friends we had to go
give the landlord what we owe them
delete my number

we live in a city that doesn’t want us there, tries to shake us off like spiders in its hair

Moonlight
take me West, find me somewhere we can rest
Somewhere simple we can write and sing out from our chests

If no-one’s left to write or paint or make us sing and dance again
You’ll leave this city bare.

Moonlight
light my way, do I head out or do I stay?
Why does being someone who creates have to be a luxury anyway?

Take my hand, we’re going nowhere in particular,
Brave new world, we’re doing nothing of significance.
In Moonlight, let’s go out hunting those responsible.
