A final end of the year gift from the ever creative Bill Callahan is today’s song ‘Lonely City’ which is the second single from his upcoming new album “My Days of 58” which is out on February 27th.
It’s a song long in the making – decades it appears, as Bill Callahan explains: “‘Lonely City’ is a song I’ve been meaning to write for decades. It has been inside me that long. I tend to focus my writing on humans and the spirit within. So writing about concrete and steel felt like a no go. Like I’m going to write a song about a car next? But of course cities are made by humans so they are human, too. You have a relationship with them, like friends. You get mad at them when you get a parking ticket, you love them when they offer you a nice meal. It’s a song acknowledging all this.”
The visualizer created for this song is by Daniel Arnold. Daniel pulled from over 15 years of his photos to bring the visual world of Bill’s song into stunning focus; it is also the first time his photography has been used in a music video
