JOE’s Song Of The Day #662: BODIES ‘Limbs’

Eric Lalor

BODIES

BODIES are back.

Formerly a solo project by David Anthony McGeown, BODIES have expanded and have become a four-piece with the addition of Nathan Maher (guitar), Danilo Ward (bass) and Scott Johnson (drums).

The band have been gigging all summer and have earned a reputation as a high-energy, raucous live band, a contrast to their more sedated studio sound.

Their debut album, Drench, will be released on 2 November and features collaborations with members of some of Ireland’s most prominent bands, including Squarehead, Kid Karate, Blooms, Kodaline and Overhead the Albatross.

Speaking about the track, David Anthony McGeown said: “The lyrics of this song are very personal to me. I wrote it during a difficult time in my life when I was finding it hard to feel anything for anyone, or enjoy anything.

“It’s about going through the motions of life and hoping that things will change. Fortunately for me, writing music and lyrics has always helped me arrange my thoughts and feelings. Spending time trying to define a feeling as poignantly as possible in a few lines has been really cathartic for me. 

“With ‘Limbs’, going through the writing process helped me remember that nothing stays the same; everything has an end. The song ends on a ‘maybe’ and it’s there to remind me to always have hope.”
