Bristol duo Meadowlark unveil a brand new single ‘Quicksand’ is our Song Of The Week!
Kate McGill on the vocals and keys and Dan Broadley playing the guitars after they were deeply moved by a story on Humans of New York (HONY) about a family working in a brick kiln in Pakistan. The pair weren’t the only ones moved by the words and photos of the HONY post, within mere days the story went on to fundraise over $2 million for the charity working with families trapped in this situation.
McGill explains,“We were so heartbroken reading these stories. We get so swept up in our lives and forget how lucky we are on a daily basis. We wanted to acknowledge these incredibly brave people and all those who devote their lives to helping them.’”
McGill’s crystalline soft vocals close in the mix, combine for a captivating and emotional listen.
