Dawes shared the video for new single, “Didn’t Fix Me.” The song will appear on the band’s upcoming album, Good Luck With Whatever, out on October 2 via Rounder Records.
“Didn’t Fix Me” follows previous Good Luck With Whatever single, “Still Feel Like A Kid.” The new song and Cubism-inspried animated video highlight mental health.
Dawes frontman Taylor Goldsmith detailed “Didn’t Fix Me” in a statement. Read Taylor’s words below:
It feels very natural to outsource our problems. Telling ourselves ‘once I have this job, this partner, this amount of money, etc, I will be happy’ is really effective and convenient. Unfortunately no one’s life actually works that way. I’m sure we all know plenty of miserable people who seem to have it all and plenty of blissful people that seem to have close to nothing. This song is about the efforts one makes to find some easy fix, unable to recognize that it will never work that way, that we are in the end our own responsibility.
Watch the video, premiered by Consequence Of Sound, for “Didn’t Fix Me” below:
