Listen to Death Pill’s “real sad love story”, Phone Call

Death Pill have just unveiled their most infectious single to date, Phone Call.

Taken from June’s forthcoming second album Sologamy, they describe the track as a “real sad love story when no-one calls you back”. “When you are waiting for a call from someone you care about, time starts to drag,” the band explain. “Every minute feels like an hour, every moment feels like an eternity, and every sound of the phone makes your heart freeze. You check it several times, even though you know the phone is on silent mode. Thoughts fill your mind, ‘What if he forgot?’, ‘What if he doesn't want to talk?’, ‘What if he has someone else?’

“These doubts and fears turn into a real game of mind, where you become your own harshest critic. The agony of waiting can be overwhelming. You begin to notice how it affects your daily life: you can’t concentrate at work, you get distracted when talking to your friends, and even simple pleasures seem less significant. Thoughts about the call become annoying, like a fly that won’t leave you alone.

“Every time the phone vibrates or the screen lights up, you hope to see his name, but disappointment comes again and again. Waiting for a phone call is a fragile emotional state that touches the deepest corners of the soul. It requires patience and humility, but it can also teach us to appreciate the moments when the connection does happen. When the long-awaited call finally rings, all the suffering seems worth it – if only for a moment. That moment can be so sweet that all previous agony is forgotten. Waiting for a call is not just an emotional roller coaster; it is a reflection of our vulnerability and desire to be understood. The desire to be needed by someone.

“We are opening our hearts, hoping that someone else is also willing to share the journey with us.”
