After a summer filled with outdoor shows and festivals in both Ireland & UK, Dylan Flynn & The Dead Poets now turn to the release of their new highly anticipated EP, ‘I’ve Been Living Life The Wrong Way’.

Before the release of the EP though, the band has one final single, ‘Turn The Page’, out on the 15th of October. This track sees the band lean fully into the Americana sound that has been creeping in over recent releases. This heart-wrenching ballad details the story of a son watching his father grow older and struggling with the inability to halt the process.

The track is sprinkled with pedal steel guitar, which intertwines with saxophone lines to create a new, yet familiar texture for the band – followed by crooning vocals and grooving drums, that bring the song to a soaring emotional climax.

“What if I find myself coming home one day and you have disappeared.”

The band has one final single, ‘Turn The Page’, ahead of their upcoming EP release

Dylan Flynn said, “This song was a tough one for me to write. The writing itself happened pretty quickly, but the reality I was faced with when I was done really took a toll on me. No one ever wants to think about their parents’ passing, but it’s an inevitability.

“Even though this song is deeply sad and tough for me to sing, it’s one I’m really proud of, and hope it can connect with others and the same level it does for me.”

The track was recorded and self-produced in the band’s small home studio in Limerick City, with long-term collaborator Mike Gavin (Windings). Mike co-produced and mixed the track, while the track was mastered by Richard Dowling (Foo Fighters, Brian Eno, Villagers).
