'We've gotten to this point, where if I wrote another four-minute tune, it wouldn’t make it into the setlist,' says the frontman for Dawes, who release a live rendering of their latest LP 'Misadventures of Doomscroller.'
There’s a code within the symptom, a morbid sort of sign/The ominous reminder of the body’s slow decline/As constant as a heartbeat, but stronger over time/While the rest of us decays/Listening to a sound that no one made“That song is about entropy, about how we all shouldn’t be pointing fingers — this is something we all contributed to,” Goldsmith says. “This isn’t just Covid, the internet, or Donald Trump — it’s where humans are at [right now].
Lyrically, Goldsmith doesn’t aim to be controversial or pandering. Where other peers in the industry may become culturally polarizing or political lightning rods, the 37-year-old wants to find common ground with the listener, to sit and immerse oneself in an ongoing societal conversation — where we’ve been, where we are, where we’re headed.
“Within a song, when it’s done right, you can give people something that everyone can relate to, no matter how they’re feeling about it,” Goldsmith says. “I think the most beautiful thing is when you can get to that place, because there’s a difference between saying your piece and actually having someone hear it.”is Goldsmith, or at least it represents those in his age bracket — millennials.
“A lot of the songs that I would want to write, or have been writing since this record, are about age and aging,” says Goldsmith, who has two sons with actress-singer Mandy Moore. “There’s a lot of cliches about how [time] gets taken for granted while you have your youth. I think we’re getting to that place of like, ‘We’re not old, but we’re not in our twenties.’ That’s a whole different mindset, a whole different experience.
