To celebrate the release of St. Leonards, Melbourne’s Slowly Slowly have unveiled their next single“Ten Leaf Clover”.
This song is Slowly Slowly narrating the search for happiness, where seeking something wholesome in the most unwholesome place. And staying optimistic is a hard task to bear.
“This song is about searching for true connection in an age where it seems so hard to find. It’s a modern-day love story — Romeo & Juliet, but with the internet,” explains frontman Ben Stewart.
“It was initially inspired by my friend Anna Jay’s voice. I heard her sing and could hear this little duet brewing in my head. I threw a bunch of experiences of my own. And of my closest friends into a mixing pot to try and detail the difficulties of remaining honest and hopeful in what can be a pretty demoralising quest.I came up with the video concept while running and listening to the song, I had my arms out wide kind of moving them like I was a kid pretending to be a plane and I was like, ‘rollerskates. Yes. Rollerskates.’. We reached out to Nicole Slovak to be in the clip after seeing some of her amazing performances - she had this sense of grace and sadness, a considered confidence that was really captivating. It all came together way too easily.”
