The Twilight Sad have teamed up with The Cure’s Robert Smith for a new single called ‘Waiting for the Phone Call’. Smith plays guitar on the searing track, which is billed as an “autobiographical epic detailing a phone call you never want to arrive.” Check it out below, along with the band’s upcoming tour dates.
“’Waiting For The Phone Call’ is about grief, love, and mental illness,” singer and lyricist James Graham explained in a statement. “These things took over my life and I became ill. I lost the person most important to me in one of the cruellest ways. I’ve always used writing as a method of processing and coping with my emotions. My emotions became a problem and I couldn’t control them, writing music with Andy… especially the past seven years had been both the escape and the opportunity to process and try and make sense of life. We’ve all been waiting on a phone call that can change our lives at some point. This unfortunately focuses on a phone call that you never want to have.”
