Favourite (song)
"Favourite" is a song by the Irish rock band Fontaines D.C. It was released on 18 June 2024 as the second single from the band's fourth studio album ''Romance''. Background The closing song on ''Romance'', frontman Grian Chatten described the song as having "this never-ending sound to it, a continuous cycle from euphoria to sadness, two worlds spinning forever." Chatten said the song was inspired by " There She Goes" by The La's and " Another Girl, Another Planet" by The Only Ones. It was placed at the end of the album because it served a "cyclical" nature of both ending the album and beginning it anew, with Chatten comparing it to how James Joyce's ''Finnegans Wake'' both begins and ends with the same sentence. "Favourite" was debuted live on 8 May 2024 at a surprise show in New York City's Warsaw club, marking the first show of the ''Romance'' era in a sold-out crowd of 1,000 people that included Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys. The band also performed the song during thei ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
