Undulating and revitalising, the brand new single Wash Off The World (out now) from Tasmanian singer-songwriter Bully Hay drives home a message of empowerment and inspiration, topped off with the addition of The Tea Party’s Jeff Martin on production, recording and mixing duties. Also armed with an accompanying music video, Wash Off The World marks Bully Hay’s first single off his forthcoming debut album, Black Dogs and Songbirds set for release in October.
Dark and contemplative, the second single Black Dogs and Songbirds (out now) from Tasmanian singer-songwriter Bully Hay is a pensive journal entry, penned among the cold waves of winter, topped off with the addition of The Tea Party’s Jeff Martin on production, recording and mixing duties. With an accompanying music video under the arm, Black Dogs and Songbirds marks Bully Hay’s second single off his debut album of the same name, due out later this year on October 30.
“The name Black Dogs and Songbirds is a metaphor for the waves I experience in life. Crushing lows and lofty high’s. Nothing ever seems to run in a straight line”, Bully says.
“When the Black Dogs are in control, bad thoughts, ideas and bad habits seep in. When the Songbirds are about, beautiful and fulfilling things happen.”
“The song itself is loosely based on myself in a Black Dog moment. It’s about isolating oneself, obsessing on all of the faults that become exhausting and trying to manage various addictions. It’s wishing someone would take it away, chase away the Black Dogs and bring you back to reality or at least a safe non-destructive place.”
