Vancouver Sleep Clinic land on our pages with a new song called Summer ’09. Accompanied by its official music video, the new tack is available for download and streaming.
Speaking on the song, Bettison said: “At the end of 2017, I got the call that one of my closest friends had died completely out of the blue. We had grown up inseparable; always playing sport and music together all the way to playing on stage together with me for the first Vancouver Sleep Clinic shows. My world was flipped upside down and it took days to think properly and months before I could even stomach the idea of writing again.”
He adds: “It wasn’t until a year later, when I was in Bali with my friends and it was raining outside. My friend Luke started playing these chords on his guitar, and everything that had been bottled up inside of me since my friend passed suddenly flooded onto the page … Although it is difficult for me to let go of it, it gives me peace to know that something that was a source of healing [and] refuge for me for so long can now be yours, too.”
Why don’t I see
Why don’t I believe
Finally, you’re free
Save a place for me
I couldn’t sleep
Lost in the dreams
We never could complete
