Dwelling on the faux-spiritualistic tendencies of modern consumerism the song questions the meaning of life and when he finds the answer he lands where most good pop songs do; Love.
Caoilian released his debut solo album ‘Teenage Jesus’ in May of this year and has been touring Ireland throughout the summer.
Track of the Day: Caoilian Sherlock’s newest single, ‘Don’t Let Me Forget About Her’ is a mixture of existential ballad and psychedelic pop song.
During live performances he is backed with an electric guitar, a sense of entitlement, a degree of casual sombreness, mixed with a joyous approach to playing music alongside his dynamic backing band, The Big Children.
Recorded with Brendan Fennessy (formerly of O Emperor) and mixed by Daniel Fox (Gilla Band), ‘Don’t Let Me Forget About Her’ is a slow but groovy piano tune that incorporates Sherlock’s deft lyricism, tongue in cheek delivery and a romantic frame of reference.
Caoilian says: “ Don’t Let Me Forget About You’ was a quick song to write because I’m constantly anxious and worried about death or a lack of meaning to life, who isn’t, but I’m also very positive about the power of love – so this is a song that acknowledges the finality of life but the longevity of love. The band was cooking when we recorded it.
