Leeds indie/post punk band English Teacher have released the video for their brand new single “Song About Love“.
The song, produced by Dan Carey, is out now through cult indie label Speedy Wunderground. Buy it here.
Bandleader Lily Fontaine explains: “It’s a pop song about doing chores instead of doing someone else, and how even songs with social or political themes that analyse contemporary discourse, rather than lyricism about tired themes like romantic love, still come from a place of love, or lack thereof. The final record is one of the first takes we did in the studio, thanks to the atmosphere Dan and Speedy create to work in. It was a relief to finally get into the room and discuss our music and music in general; what came out the other end certainly couldn’t have happened in another space, with another producer or on another day”.

English Teacher “Song About Love” Lyrics:
Every song is about love
Having too much
Or not having enough
Every song is about us
Say I’m all kitchen sink
Instead of you, I do the washing up
Every song is about love
Having too much
Or not having enough
Every song is about us
Call me independent
Not picking up, I hoover the rug
Every song is about love
Having too much
Or not having enough
Every song is about us
You could have left the country
Instead of you, I unblock the plug.
Plug plug plug plug plug plug plug plug
Love love love love love love love love love…
