Louis Philippe & The Night Mail - Fall In A Daydream

Track is taken from the upcoming album 'Thunderclouds' (out 11 December). Preorder via orcd.co/louis-philippe "When Louis Philippe first played this to me I was deceived by the catchy sweetness of the tune. It was only in the studio, when he did the vocals, that the dark implications of the song's lyrics started to dawn on me. Let's not beat around the bush, the 2017 Grenfell Tower disaster, in which at least 70 Londoners died, is testament to the murderous inequality within this still beautiful, amazing city. It felt almost unbearable travelling through West London around that time, the charred remains of the tower shockingly visible from the raised section of the Underground line, while jaded fellow passengers never even paused in their conversation. With hindsight, this song is my soundtrack to that experience. I just love how Philippe's view focuses not on the calamity itself, but on those who casually looked away."
