Aoife Underwater – On the Cusp of Nothing
She Says: I was feeling sad when I wrote it and that's what I wanted to come across - but in an upbeat way! One of my main influences when I write my music is AIR. I kind of use them as a musical gauge and always listen to them when I need some inspiration. I recorded the demo myself using just piano and drum sounds with vocals. I had the verse and chorus worked out and when I brought it to Fergal it became something different, bigger, while still maintaining the basic demo melody. I think it's important that a song stays loyal to its demo because that's how you keep the soul in a song.
We Say: One of those tracks the entire team wanted on air as soon as possible - knowing as we all did just how great it would sound on the radio. A relatively poppy sound and a huge chorus, but brilliantly quirky with it. Surely this lot are Icelandic or Swedish or something like that? Apparently not....
