Check out the Dublin band’s poignant new track below.
Somebody’s Child, the project led by Dubliner Cian Godfrey, today premiere the music video for their riveting new single ‘Porcelain (Losing All My Patience)’.
The tune comes ahead of their forthcoming album When Youth Fades Away, due out on March 28 and described as “a bold new chapter in their musical journey.”
Blending propulsive electronic elements with their raw, emotive rock foundations, the song’s contrast between hypnotic, monotonal verses and a soaring falsetto-driven chorus highlights the depth of their songwriting, reflecting on how time inevitably shapes and strains relationships.
Speaking on the single vocalist and bandleader Cian Godfrey said: "'Porcelain' was the breakthrough track for us determining the shape of the record." He continued, "When it was written, everything else seemed to fall into place around it. It embodies the danceability we were going for throughout, and to me it evokes a necessity to get up and move. I remember somebody once calling it 'rave-rock', which I liked"

The track was recorded with Grammy Award-winning producer Peter Katis – best known for his work with the likes of The National, Frightened Rabbit, and Death Cab for Cutie — while the music video was directed in collaboration between vocalist Cian Godfrey and Adrian Lee.
It depicts Godfrey dancing through Waterloo train station to the beat of his iPod, further cementing the song's infectious danceability. The reference point for the music video's concept was the well-known Friedrich Nietzsche, “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”
