After the success of their last single ‘Sorry’, Rofi James return with their latest song ‘Berlin Wall’. The song was written during Ireland’s initial lockdown during the pandemic. Berlin Wall “is a song about the desire to escape the monotonous routine and daily troubles of life during a pandemic.
The song was written by Ronan Flaherty, Jamie Murray and Joseph Flaherty, and mixed and produced by Dave Skelton. It was then mastered by Fergal Davis (Muse, Republic of Loose, The Divine Comedy). In the band’s own words, “Berlin Wall is about getting away from it all, longing for a break from the daily routine that one experiences when one is locked up, the familiar surroundings and the daily routine of living in a pandemic to escape in the hope of catching another glimpse of normalcy.
