The Colliflowers have delivered their new single, Let Me Go. In celebration, the band have shared with MILKY their top five tops for finding excitement in everyday life.
“Let Me Go is a feel-good, sunny side up, take on the modern dilemma of feeling stuck in an unhealthy relationship with the daily grind. Although the inspiration for the track can be a bit of a bummer, the song is anything but that. From the opening bar you’re welcomed with a driving drum beat followed by the type of guitar riffs that will have you wishing you were driving along the coast in your dad’s old panel van. Coupled with optimistic, anthemic vocals and a bass line that pulls no punches, we’ve hopefully created a summer anthem that everyone can get behind and enjoy." the band say of the track.
“Let Me Go is a tune that’s been in our rehearsal room for a while, just kind of floating around without that element that could really turn it from a jam to a song. This all changed when we decided to take it down a slightly heavier route with a classic 80’s drum intro and luscious guitar melody for the intro. Once we pieced all of that together all of the other guitar riffs and the driving bass line followed. The new instrumentation really fit the sentiment of the song so the lyrics and message remained unchanged.”
CATCHING A FISH ON A BRAND NEW LURE
Fishing is the ultimate test of patience, to catch a fish you must not only outsmart the fish, but completely enter the mind of a fish. It is all too common in today’s world that you feel disconnected to your primal hunting instincts, it is only right to pit yourself against a fish every now and again to break up the monotony of daily life.
GET OUT AND EXPLORE ANOTHER COUNTRY WITH YOUR MATES
Not only is going overseas some of the most fun you can ever have, it also provides you with an invaluable perspective of your own life. Take that risk, buy that ticket and get out there to see what the world has to offer. You might find something new that you just can’t live without, or perhaps you’ll gain a new appreciation for what’s waiting for you back home.
DOING SOMETHING CHALLENGING EVERYDAY
We’ve all seen those ‘alpha grindset’ influencers that pop up every now and again on your feed and at the risk of sounding like one, you need to challenge yourself. Whether it’s a workout, cold shower, or even switching up what coffee shop you got to, if you’re looking to break free from the grind the comfort zone isn’t where you’ll find it.
ENJOYING THE BEAUTY OF THE NORTHERN RIVERS
Australia’s a great part of the world and although our opinion may be biased, the Northern Rivers is as good as it gets. Sometimes we’ve got our head buried so deep in work, or whatever else is occupying our minds to take a look around. There’s no better reset for our minds and bodies than jumping in the ocean or taking a walk in, quite literally, our own backyards.
FINISHING UP THE WORKING WEEK WITH LIVE SHOWS
It’s an incredible privilege for us to be able to get out most weekends and play music, better yet, playing music to such amazing crowds. Oftentimes we find ourselves coasting through Monday to Friday in anticipation for when we’ll hit the stage on the weekend. We hope that letting loose on stage and meeting all of you incredible people will be the highlight of our week for many more years to come.
