Devilskin have just dropped their new music video for ‘Unborn,’ off their latest EP ‘Surfacing’ - check it out now.
Unborn is the EP’s focus track, and is a haunting love ballad written from the perspective of brand new life.
Speaking to antiMusic, Devilskin’s Paul Martin shared that the melody was written by his bandmate Nail for his unborn daughter at the time, who he’d play it for during the pregnancy. Paul then wrote the accompanying lyrics.
Paul said, “The song is written from perspective of a brand new life, still in the womb, but nourished by the words, music and love from the parents. The wonder of what is to come, discovering pure love, the warmth that only a nurturing parent can give. This is the story of all of us.
“‘Father can you hear me? Mother can you hear me?’ My own mother died when I was very young so this is a song I have waited a long time to write.”
The song’s lyrics are reflected in the new music video, which was made by Bahador Borhani.
