White Lies have shared a new song.
Following I Don't Want To Go To Mars, Am I Really Going To Die marks the latest single from the band's upcoming sixth album, 'As I Try Not To Fall Apart', due out on February 18. Bassist Charles Cave said:
"Am I Really Going to Die is a song with familiar subject matter for White Lies but a new chapter musically. It's the first part of a two-song narrative about a self-important hot-shot given a terminal diagnosis, and the various stages of his coming to terms with it. AIRGTD is loosely inspired by the great Danny Huston's character in 'Ivans XTC', and musically by Station to Station era Bowie."
Incorporating a piano melody over a danceable beat and rising synths, it arrives with a video directed by Balan Evans, who added: "This song has so much story in it, it was quite easy to come up with this idea. It sort of spilled out of the lyrics. I was talking to a friend who was recounting being hit by a car and waking up on the ground with people hanging over him and it felt like a unique perspective. This point of view felt rich with storytelling potential, something I wanted to explore and experiment with and most importantly it matched so well with the themes of the song."
White Lies will embark on a UK and European tour in March. Tickets are on sale now.
