Track of the Day: Somebody’s Child, ‘Time Of My Life’

Dublin-based Indie rockers Somebody’s Child return with stunning new single ‘Time Of My Life’, ahead of the release of their upcoming album, When Youth Fades Away, which is dropping next year.

The exciting news comes following the success of their self-titled first album, a headline performance at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre, and a show at Electric Picnic’s Main Stage.

Their new single, ‘Time Of My Life’ is a reflective, introspective track, which sets the tone for a new era for the group, blending their signature indie rock sound with a more contemplative and autobiographical approach.

Written in the closing stages of the album’s recording process, the tune is a two-chord anthem that captures the bittersweet nostalgia of life’s fleeting moments.

Songwriter and singer, Cian Godfrey, describes the song: ““It’s about the flashing of life before your eyes, ending in a feeling of resolve, leaving legacy through songs and accepting fate. It was one of the most cathartic songs we’ve ever written.”

"We’ve always wanted to write a 2 chord song, and this finally came out without force. Another one that was written with an idea; ‘let’s close out the album’. We were about to give up on writing that day, and we gave it one last go. Less than an hour later, we had a full song with more lyrics than we’ve ever had. I remember the feeling so well. I thought we’d been at it for 6 hours. Pure elation."
