Track Of The Day :: Somebody's Child - Jungle
Words: Sam Geary
Dublin singer-songwriter Somebody's Child, aka Cian Goddo, follows his earlier summer single 'Distance' with new number, 'Jungle'.
Digitally released last week, the near-five minute 'Jungle' is an emotion-wrapped ball of nervous energy with an indelible guitar riff running throughout under a heart-rending vocal.
“'Jungle' to me provokes different feelings than my previous releases, such as loneliness, anguish, hurt and isolation," he says. "Its message is clear. It is a reflection of the times we are living in. We have political and economic facades thrown in our face every day. My generation feels disillusioned in its relationship with authority due to the circus going on right from the top figures down to the media broadcast in our homes. No-one seems to have any direction and this feeling is filtering into our minds. Our heads continue to focus on power, money and legacy while our planet is weak at the knees."
