about

Closing track on our debut album, Deadman

lyrics

Yeah I wish I had a memory like you
Yeah I wish I had a memory like you do
Nice and selective
Cos I would take whole days of my life
And I would take whole weeks of my life
And I would burn them
Yeah I would burn them
And I’d leave them on your doorstep
For you to add to your mantelpiece
Yeah I’d leave them on your doorstep
For you to add to your mantelpiece

With all the letters I’ve written and never sent
And all the thoughts I wished I’d said
I could feed a fire that would never end

It’d never end

But with your silent incantation
I could free myself from the reins of the indestructible

And when the whisky runs dry
I’ll be calling you
For a bit of advice

about

deadman Madrid, Spain

Deadman is an indie-rock power trio based in Madrid, Spain.

Our influences are many and diverse - ranging from the darkness of Bauhaus to the elegance of Radiohead via the ingenuity of Ash and the dirty punk of the Pixies.

The band has a contagious rhythm section, hypnotic guitar solos and deeply personal lyrics.

Deadman is a journey to unknown shores - that at the same time seem very familiar. ... more
