Deaf Havana release new single, Hurts To Be Lonely

Deaf Havana have just unveiled a brand-new single, Hurts To Be Lonely.

The track is taken from the duo’s forthcoming seventh album We’re Never Getting Out – although it was seemingly written long before the rest of the record, as James Veck-Gilodi reveals it’s “one of the only songs that actually made it over from the original album that we scrapped”.

“This song had single handily driven us more insane than any other song, once Matty [guitarist and James’ brother] and I just left the studio because we couldn’t actually hack it anymore,” the frontman continues. “However, it is a song that means a lot to me, it covers the feelings of being completely alone or making your partner feel completely alone in a relationship. I barely remember writing this song but it was one of those ones that just kind of falls out of you.

“A lot of the lyrical content is about lying about being sober but secretly drinking and taking drugs and ending up completely isolating yourself from everyone else around you.”
