Scottish songwriter Neev shares her new single “Seawall”. It’s a beautiful ode to fatigue and feeling burnt out. With effortless lyricism that draws you in immediately, the single is a beautifully self-produced single crafted with calming guitar strings and soothing vocals. A must-listen if you need to escape reality for a moment.
“I wrote Seawall a few years back, as lockdown hit. I’d watched the play Seawall during lockdown which written for and performed by Andrew Scott, I’d seen it in the theatre too, and it’s a play that shares a monologue where the central character offhandedly refers to a hole in the middle of their stomach,” explains Neev. “This kind of fed into my song writing, focusing on the themes surrounding fatigue and stretching yourself too thin which became represented by a hole in the stomach. Hence the lyrics: ‘I know that there’s a hole, take no notice’. And: ‘What a way to exist, you’ve been polite ignoring this hole’.”
