Dublin's Odd Morris hot-footed it over the border to Derry last week where they performed a live version of 'Lilac Leaves' for The Stephen McCauley Show on BBC Radio Foyle.
“I wrote the lyrics to "Lilac Leaves' while I was sitting at my window-sill in my bedroom at home, looking out into the garden,” says frontman Daragh Griffin of the post-punk slow-burner track.
“A friend of mine had said over a pint that his relationship with a family member was the greatest lesson in empathy he ever had, which really struck a chord with me. Writing 'Lilac Leaves' was my way of acknowledging forgiveness within a turbulent relationship before I moved out of the house I grew up in.”
