Our Song of the Day is a poetic tale of a profound love and the title track from the forthcoming album House of Jacks, the second album by the award-winning British singer, songwriter and guitarist Blair Dunlop. Listen to it below:
“It’s a personal song showing how one’s perception of love is altered when someone, to whom your feelings are stronger than previously experienced, enters your life. The house of jacks being the world you build before realising that there are greater (the royals) experiences and relationships to be had. The chorus draws the similarities of this to Plato’s allegory of the cave.”
We’ll have more on the album very soon as Blair is our Artist of the Month for June so keep you eyes on our website. In the meantime don’t miss Blair’s tour dates which are listed below.
