Meryl Streek has shared vital single ‘Counting Sheep’, taken from forthcoming album ‘Songs For The Deceased’. Set for release on October 25 via Venn Records, the latest full-length from the fast rising punk artist was produced by Dan Doherty ( Fontaines D.C.
). Following the release of emotional single ‘Paddy’ last month, ‘Counting Sheep’ gives us another taste of what to expect. Have a listen via the video below.
Speaking on ‘Counting Sheep’, Meryl Streek has said: “This song was written about the daily grind of working full time your whole life 40 hours a week for a fraction of what you’re making for somebody else, all while you still struggle to pay the bills and maintain a side hobby. “ I am not calling the average worker a sheep as I’d be calling myself one too but what I’m trying to say with this track is art is important and when we don’t have a government supporting what we are all truly good at you’ll end up signing your life away to these big corporate companies and you’ll never do what you’re meant to do in life. You’ll blink and it’ll be over.
Its also highlighting the fact every single politician in this country is a landlord and these are the people voting to abolish the eviction ban, which since being lifted has caused thousands of families to be kicked onto the already busy streets. It’s another reminder that these crooks in charge are getting away with what they want while we are being distracted to fight against ea.
