The Subways - Uncertain Joys (video 2023)

Title track and single from our 5th studio album ’Uncertain Joys’, Out now on Alcopop! More info at , Video directed by Joe Gist and Blink Vivid Video The Subways are Billy Lunn, Charlotte Cooper & Camille Philips “Uncertain Joys was written and recorded in only a day, Uncertain Joys is about coming to terms with a break up, and wanting to be a good person in the process. Given the tumult of the lyrical content, we wanted to fuse genres (rock, hip-hop, synth-wave, pop) whilst still managing to get everyone bouncing at live shows“ Billy Lunn, The Subways “I wanted to create a video with an experimental narrative component to it. I felt that focusing on this trio of stories that encapsulate some of the universal struggles of romantic relationships was a great way of experimenting with some interesting visual ideas. Merging these stories with Billy’s vocal performance as he wanders through the city streets was a great skeleton to structure our stories around whilst still having plenty of awesome performance footage from the band’s gig at Gorilla in Manchester.“ Joe Gist, Video Director, Blink Vivid Videos Music by The Subways (Lunn/Morgan/Jenkinson), Words by Lunn, Produced by Billy Lunn and mixed by Adrian Bushby Published by Wipe Out Music Uncertain Joys Lyrics Take time reflecting outside-in; Bold messages, commit no sins. Together in a world apart; Blocked, bracing for a brand-new start. Caught in-between evil and good: Blessed equally, it’s understood. Go with it when the changes come; Still waiting for a heart unstrung. When I see you as I’m looking in the mirror and I feel so senseless; This drug, when I get jealous. Believing in another way to go is how I can fix this. You’re happy, and it’s not my business. Abstracting from material worlds; Loving you is a cocoon unfurled. Once, I could take us both for fools; Grown up, I’m checking out from school. Left lonely to regret the most; Left taunted by your haunting ghost. Indulging on the drug, your voice: Get high on the uncertain joys. When I see you as I’m looking in the mirror and I feel so senseless; This drug, when I get jealous. Believing in another way to go is how I can fix this. You’re happy, and it’s not my business. When I see you as I’m looking in the mirror and I feel so senseless; This drug, when I get jealous. Believing in another way to go is how I can fix this. You’re happy, and it’s not my business. Only days ago I was cut apart, Now I’m blissful for Your pure, distant heart. I don’t need a clue If you’re near or far, Now I’m blissful for Your pure, distant heart. When I see you as I’m looking in the mirror and I feel so senseless; This drug, when I get jealous. Believing in another way to go is how I can fix this. You’re happy, and it’s not my business. When I see you as I’m looking in the mirror and I feel so senseless; This drug, when I get jealous. Believing in another way to go is how I can fix this. You’re happy, and it’s not my business. #uncertainjoys #popmusic #rockmusic
