September Girls fire off new video for "Veneer"
September Girls have unleashed their sparkly new video for their upcoming EP's title track, "Veneer".
Each of the EP's four songs was written and sung by a different band member, and they each have a few words to explain their input:
"Veneer - Veneer was written to stand up to the force that stifles creativity and expression. Like a critical voice in your head that tells you you're not good enough, it leaves you feeling empty and useless. "Seductive veneer" refers to the easy option, which is quitting. I think the message of the song is to ignore that voice and do it anyway - Caoimhe
Black Oil - Sarah and I started jamming out the music one day in the studio. The imagery in the lyrics came from a couple of places, the first being a dream I had, the second being some crazy stuff I had written down on Christmas night last after a few drinks. The meaning of the lyrics "if I could swim, I'd be dead by now" is about acceptance of ones own limitations and the realisation that perhaps sometimes your perceived shortcomings can be the thing that saves you - Paula
Melatonin - There are many things that can keep you up at night; Melatonin is a lullaby to oneself to try to keep sane when plagued with insomnia - Jessie
Butterflies - About navigating life after heartbreak, negotiating the balance between heart and head, abandon and protection - Lauren"
