about

Mercenary Records are proud to announce the release of Brendan Tallon’s second single ‘American Strings’ taken from his forthcoming debut solo album.

This is the follow-up to his acclaimed first single ‘Old Man Superman’, which is getting lots of love on radio and was inspired by the Skilled Veteran Corps in Japan. It also follows last year’s re-release of Revelino’s remastered debut album which went straight to No 1 in the Irish Indie charts.

This psychedelic folk song is an ode to America and again showcases Brendan Tallon’s eclectic songwriting style. It reflects his life-long love for Spaghetti westerns and is a celebration of American culture and influence.

Brendan is joined on this shimmering, sun-drenched track by multi-instrumentalist Fintan Jones on flutes, Ray Martin on trumpets and Mark Colbert on drums.

Brendan Tallon’s first solo album ‘Love in these times’ will be released later this year.

lyrics

American Strings

Found myself inside a scene
Of a play they were staging
All around me hearts were breaking
To the sound of American Strings

I went out into the street
A parade there for a king
All around me stars exploding
To the sound of American Strings

While I was sitting here I wrote a letter to a queen, as I recall,
She was so beautiful
I put it down in the best words I could write
The morning light was breaking through
I put my name on it and left it with a gift
And followed her to see what she would do

Followed her into the market
Never knew there were so many things
Puppets, banners, whole worlds hanging
A -h on American Strings

All hung on American Strings

Ah ah ah aheeah ah
