Debut single by Irish indie rock band WOOLVS released 2 October 2020

Only Human

April 5, 2021 is the 27th anniversary of the death of Kurt Cobain, who died at the age of 27.

Our song, 27 Forever, is about the infamous ‘27 Club’ which is the name given to the list of musicians and artists who died at the age of 27, often as a result of drug and alcohol abuse, violent means such as homicide or suicide, or in accidents. Members of the 27 club include Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain. 

Blues musician Robert Johnson, who died in 1938, is the earliest popular musician who has been included in the members of the 27 Club. Legend says that Johnson took his guitar to a crossroad where he sold his soul to the devil in exchange for a mastery of the blues. This legend is referenced in the chorus of our song: 
“Take a dance with the devil, sell your soul: 27 forever”. 

Our song explores the themes of fame and the pursuit of immortality, and the final verse of our song is dedicated to Kurt Cobain, who addressed his suicide note to his childhood imaginary friend, Boddah, which we refer to in the lyric:
“And in the end, imagined a friend,
Wrote him a note but he never came.”

The closing lines of the song are the last words ever written by Jimi Hendrix:
“The story of life, quicker than the eye,
The story of love is hello and goodbye.
Until we meet again, goodbye”
