Beauty new track from the Ajax punks, and a rather neat video about a kid who finds solace in skateboarding. Singer Deryck Whibley says in a press release that song source was his own relationship with his absent father.
“I never wanted to write this song, it just kind of poured out of me. I tried to fight it at first but there was no stopping it. I could tell I was writing about my dad, who I've never met and throughout my life it has always been a subject that I don't really think about or care about. It has never really bothered me and when I started thinking about why it never bothered me, I realized it was because my mum was so great and I have such a loving relationship with her. She was so strong as a single mother for my whole life that I never needed to think about my dad.”
The song will appear on the new album, ‘Order in Decline’ due July 19 on Hopeless Records.
