Son of Dave is back with his brand new single Hot Summer Nights. Three minutes of electrifying and idiosyncratic disco blues featuring Martina Topley-Bird on vocals, Joey Waronker on drums and Son of Dave playing everything else. Released on the 23rd of September, the new single precedes his upcoming LP Blues At The Grand.  

Intending to make a “bigger party” with this, his fifth record, he enlisted the help of super producer Jimmy Hogarth – a rhythm and blues fan with writing and production credits on countless monster-smashes by the likes of Amy Winehouse, James Morrison and Corrine Bailey Rae.  

Son of Dave – Benjamin Darvill made his name as a one-man band with a harmonica, a shaker, his voice, a stomping foot and a looping pedal. Beats de la bouche and a trunk-load of funk. Taking this show on the road, Son of Dave plays Bestival and Festival Number 6, appearing on the BBC 6Music stage. Son of Dave hits the road in November for a full UK tour.

“Easy (Death Is Nothing At All)” is a rare #bowsutra song inspired by a quote about death, from Henry ScottHolland (27 January 1847 - 17 March 1918), a Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Oxford:

"Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened.
Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am cut of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well."

 ❣  ❣  ❣ 
@bananasutra lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Never think I’m gone mon chéri,
Hear me sing, feel the sweet sweet swoon,
Everything’s just as it always be,
I’ll be back with you real soon.

[Chorus]
Breathe easy, baby, easy,
Life means all it ever meant.
Breathe slowly, deep, easy peasy,
No need for grief, it’s love misspent.

[Verse 2]
Hear me whisper your name, darling
Sing it just the way we would.
Death don’t need no solemn crying,
Let it breathe just like it should.

[Chorus]
Breathe easy, baby, easy,
Life means all it ever meant.
Breathe slowly, deep, easy peasy,
No need for grief, it’s love misspent.

[Bridge]
Please laugh like nobody is watching 
Smile when you think of me.
Nothing can ever kill our loving, 
We’re as near as near can be.

[Verse 3]
I am right here, feel me singing,
Forever flying in time,
Life’s a wild trip, never-ending,
Dancing with the rhythm and rhyme.

[Chorus]
I’m easy, oh, I’m easy,
There’s no shadow, there’s no gloom.
Breathe with me, let me make it easy,
I’m right here with you, watch us bloom

[Outro]
Oh, it’s easy… easy peasy…
All is well, my dear, mon chéri…
