After blowing everyone away at 2000trees Festival, Meryl Streek returns with new single ‘Counting Sheep’, the latest single to be taken from forthcoming album ‘Songs for the Deceased’ (released via Venn Records on 25 October.
‘Written about the daily grind of working full time you whole life 40 hours a week for a fraction of what you’re making for somebody else, all while you still struggle to pay the bills and maintain a side hobby’, the song finds Meryl Streek talking some home truths (‘Our politicians are landlords and our landlords are politicians’) as he covers this all-too-relatable foible of modern life – and the hugely negative impact it can have on the arts and your well-being, all delivered against a backdrop of punk riffs and electronica, albeit with a key takeaway: ‘Never give up on the life you deserve’; ‘Having doubt is the only thing that will ever hold your back’.
