Track Of The Week: Jon Samuel – Dead Melodies


Jon Samuel




Our Track Of The Week is Dead Melodies from Wintersleep keyboardist Jon Samuel.

Its the title-track of his new solo album which was confirmed earlier this week for release on February 1st 2019. “When I wrote the song, it was a couple of years after I had finished making a record that nobody listened to,” Samuel remembers.

“I just wanted to write a song about how art and music are undervalued—it’s literally worth nothing in a lot of cases. You make a record, spend a lot of time and money on it, and then it’s basically just free.”

“And disposable, too, because there’s just so much of it. So that was the basic idea of ‘Dead Melodies’ — I’m going to put this out there, and maybe nobody hears it, and it might be worth nothing!”
