The Sydney-based three-piece Middle Kids (Hannah Joy, Tim Fitz and Harry Day) have released “Today We’re The Greatest”, the cinematic title track from their hotly anticipated second album, out this Friday March 19th 2021.
“Today We’re The Greatest” features a heartachingly beautiful performance from lead singer Hannah Joy and showcases the juxtaposition of her compelling songwriting. The grandiose and romantic notion of the song’s title is offset by the repeated refrain “life is gory and boring sometimes” which both closes the song and also the album – reveling equally in the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly.
About the song, Hannah explains:
“This is a simple song of people being TINY and our lives being FLEETING but in that we are EPIC and GREAT. It’s finding the beauty and majesty of the every day. Therein lies life and meaning.
LIFE IS GORY AND BORING SOMETIMES: it’s both hectic and mundane and we have to accept both.”
“Today We’re The Greatest” is accompanied by the stunning music video, watch below, directed by W.A.M. Bleakley and filmed on the Kiama costal path in Australia.
