I was a big fan of SoSo’s debut single “Henry Lawson Jive,” so I’m thrilled to see the lads back with “(Shit) Love Story.” There’s no second single syndrome here. Just like their first effort, this track with brimming with energy. It’s got an epic sound, full of angst and big guitars.
“About 6-7 years ago I was in a relationship with someone that I saw myself being with for a lifetime. When she ended it out of nowhere, it did some serious damage emotionally, some of which I’m still dealing with,” lead vocalist and songwriter Rhys de Burgh explained of the song’s inspiration. It’s about me coming to terms with what happened and trying to figure out why the hell I’m still so caught up on something from so long ago (hence the ‘sorry, just a shit love story’ lyric). The end of the track is a bit of a resolve – me beginning to understand that she’s a different person now. I’ve grown over the years whereas, she’s stayed the same and whatever we were originally never would or could be again.”
Until they can get back on stage and launch these singles properly, SoSo has been livestreaming some shows via Facebook. Give the SoSo Facebook page a follow to see the next one!
