The Couple Across The Way (Skinty Fia Sessions)

Rain

July

cigarettes after sex ~ k. live [slowed + reverb]

laying in bed
covered in bruises
tightened up
id show u again
i wear you down
slowly tore apart
i fell down for you
i held on your hand
i promised again
it happens
touch me while im here,
make me wish that there was more
between us
light me up again,
u fill the darkness in my head,
for now
take me with you

take me with you

Sixten and Monet get together to create something special something the lasts forever and can mean so much and so little to all who will inevitably escape this world.

Escape The World (ft sixten)

Fontaines DC - Boys In The Better Land - Studio 8 LIVE

Skinty Fia is an Irish phrase which translates to English as “the damnation of the deer” and the album’s cover art features a deer, plucked from its natural habitat and deposited in the hallway of a home, illuminated by an artificial red glow. The Irish giant deer is an extinct species and the band’s thoughts on Irish identity are central to Skinty Fia. While Dogrel was littered with snapshots of the Dublin characters -  like the cabbie in “Boys In The Better Land” - and A Hero’s Death documented the dislocation and disconnection the band felt as they traveled the globe on tour, on Skinty Fia Fontaines D.C. are addressing their Irishness from afar as they recreate new lives for themselves elsewhere. For a band whose hometown courses through their veins -  “D.C.” stands for “Dublin City” - the album finds them trying to resolve the need to broaden their horizons with the affection they still feel for the land and people they’ve left behind.
