Widows Gold has recently returned with their new single “Another You”, a track written about the personal struggles of the band’s real life couple Madeline Star and Ben Sauer.
It’s a heartbreaking and emotional blend of power indie folk, with elements of Big Thief in its DNA, capturing a melancholic nature and atmospheric touch. Speaking about the personal song, they add:
‘Another You’ was written after attempting to have a second child over the course of two years only to result in multiple miscarriages. Shortly after, we were unable to get pregnant all together. It is a journey of initial heartache turned into the reminder of unconditional love and thankfulness for the child we do have. The perspective changes from speaking about our unborn child in the first verse to our daughter by verse two. However, the song transcends pregnancy and infant loss into addressing grief as a whole. Whether your story involved a spouse, friend, your hometown, a job… it carries a weight that is relatable lyrically and sonically. This is our first time releasing a song recorded entirely from our living room. It’s raw. It’s vulnerable. It’s honest. It’s us.
