Really Good Time have returned with their brilliantly titled single 'Bob Dylan Was On Pawn Stars in 2010'
Catch the band live this spring.
Frontman Wastefellow explains the inspiration behind the song: "The seed for Bob Dylan Was on Pawn Stars in 2010 was planted on a bus home, after seeing 'A Complete Unknown' at the beginning of last year. While draining the internet for pointless information about and around the film, I discovered Bob Dylan had appeared on Pawn Stars in 2010. I found this shocking, like an affront to a truth that, while difficult to pin down, I had up until this point felt that I understood about the world. For a moment I was fifteen years old and Bob Dylan was supposed to be mine, and I was never going to live in that world again."
He continues, "It may surprise some, given my lyrics, my generally poor table manners, the name of my band etc. but I am in fact not fifteen, and it is, in fact, ridiculous to see all of the world's ills contained within one droplet of reality television from 2010 (when I was 15). Yet ridiculous as it was, in that moment I really felt it. So naturally we had to write a song about it, to try and lay that feeling out and own all its teenage hysteria."
"Ultimately, it's a very serious, stupid, earnest song about getting out of your own head and letting the world around you in. Most of the lyrics were written as myself and Jacque were trying to run up a hill in Cork, and I hope the spirit of finally getting up over that last rise can be heard in the track."
The release is accompanied by a video directed by Sophie O’Donovan.
