alt. is finally back with their first new offering of 2024, “Conversations That Hurt” via Resist Records and SharpTone Records. Preceded by 2023’s heavy-hitting, alt-rock debut LP ABEYANCE, the Australian act shows off their vulnerable, softer side on their latest release.
“‘Conversations That Hurt’ is about the freshness of a breakup. It’s hard to move on and all you can think about is wanting them back when you know it’s not meant to be,” says vocalist Daniel Cullen-Richards.
Uniquely, this track also showcases a few Aussie music legends. The track was co-written with Dream On, Dreamer’s Callan Orr and Trophy Eyes‘ John Floreani. Check out the raw track and accompanying music video below.
“Conversations That Hurt” Lyrics:
I can’t replace, the steps retraced
And I am feeling nothing
Such small space, for you remains
And I know you’re trying
I want you to show me something
Just give me a reason to let you in
Again
Take this chance, to wash your hands
Cause you don’t owe me nothing
The distance between is all you are to me
Cause I know you’re trying
And I know you’re trying
And I know you’re trying
I want you to show me something
Just give me a reason to let you in
Showed up with your heart in hands just for one more chance like I’m someone you regret
To give me a reason to let you in again
Showed up with your heart in hands just for one more chance like I’m someone you regret
Showed up with your heart in hands just for one more chance like I’m someone you regret
I want you to show me something to believe in
Just give me a reason to let you in
I want you to show me something
Just give me a reason to let you in
Showed up with your heart in hands just for one more chance like I’m someone you regret
To give me a reason to let you in
Again
Again
Showed up with my heart in hands just for one more chance like you’re someone I regret to give you a reason to let me in
