Ger Eaton shares new single 'Season Changes' with video

Irish composer and multi-instrumentalist Ger Eaton has released a new song 'Season Changes' via Dimple Discs.

Eaton is perhaps most well-known as keyboardist and guitarist for Dublin alt-rock outfit The Pale. Indeed, Eaton has been a mainstay of the Irish music scene for many years as a member of Premonition (EMI), Las Vegas Basement (Columbia), Les Marionettes, Pugwash, The Carnival Brothers and many solo and collaborative recordings. Throughout his time he also recorded and toured extensively with, among others, Mundy, Duke Special, Jack L and Fionn Regan, gracing stages from Glastonbury Festival to Later... With Jools Holland. 

The inspiration for 'Season Changes' came from a newly strung guitar and a late-night rewatching of The Wicker Man. 

"The song itself deals with the often inevitable decay of a relationship, from the glowing bloom of its Spring, gradually ebbing away to its wintry conclusion," says Eaton. "I once more enlisted the help of my friend and drummer, Graham Hopkins, and new to the team this time, his childhood friend Josh Fogarty (Making Shapes)."

A dark, gothic video accompaniment was released alongside the single. "The video was shot in the historic 'Tea Lane Cemetery' in Celbridge, Co Kildare, where I've spent most of the last 20 years," the singer remarks. "I approached its custodian with my idea for the video, and they very kindly granted me access, with my very own key, to its wonderfully creaky gates!"
