The new single is mastered by the American producer Daniel James Goodwin.
The fifth release from the Bren Berry solo project following the delicious David Kitt remix of 'Beautiful Losers' is here.
'Come Alive' has been pipped as a big glowing pop song, a satellite of love bursting with grinning Teenage Fanclub riffs, glorious hooks and harmonies, that celebrates the important things in life.
Berry wrote this single in the summer of 2022, on the weekend of his daughter Eve’s 21st birthday.
“It’s about that feeling of a perfect day with friends and family - the sun’s shining, everyone’s in a great mood and loving being together, celebrating and listening to music,” they musician recalls.
“It was the first summer after covid so there was a heightened sense of joy in the air. The song is a big widescreen, cinematic love song about family, friends, home and the power of music. I love that feeling of coming home and feeling alive as you fly back into Dublin and you see the Poolbeg Towers and the city lights.”
The song was produced by Berry & Gavin Glass in Orphan Studios and mixed and mastered by Daniel James Goodwin (Bonny Light Horsemen) in The Isokon, New York.
