The Magic Lantern (moniker of Jamie Doe) releases his new single “Blades of Grass” today. It’s the second single to be taken from his upcoming fourth album ‘A Reckoning Bell’. Talking about the song Jamie says “I think of ‘Blades of Grass’ as a joyful song for a desperate time” which he says “celebrates our unavoidable human fragility and wild need for companionship.”
He adds, “If the past few years have taught me anything it’s the freedom to be found in the emotional honesty of life’s tougher moments – that nothing matters more than love and sometimes all you can do is be there. The song and cover artwork feature my wife Rhia who has taught me so much about the quiet resilience of the human heart.”
The beautiful video by musician Leena Culhane in Santa Monica, California, was another experiment in distance collaboration that he says “centres around our everyday acts of finding joy in desperate times and the memories we carry with us wherever we go.”
