“And so the Apples they grow and into barrels will roll –
Soon to become liquid gold,
& the Calvados will flow.”
“The apples grow and packed in barrels
Eventually, Calvados becomes gold and flows out.”
The Liberteens frontman Peter Doherty has released a new song, “Calvados” from his upcoming solo album, “Felt Better Alive.” It is an hymn to the finest apples produced in the Normandy region of Peter, and an hymn to its craftsmanship and perseverance, and has created a song worthy of being recognized as a member of the classic British songwriter. did.
The music video released at the same time was a song that Peter asked fans to show off their creativity and create an official video for the song. The contest received a surprising amount of responses from around the world, from filmed with lo-fi mobile phones to films with crafted concepts. The selected animated videos were produced by Natalie Sidorenko/SadLip. “The idea came to mind immediately was to integrate the loving relationship between the farmer and his wife with the two of them with the common skills of Calvados brewing.” Just like Peter sings. “The past, now, and ever…”.
“Calvados”
Peter talks about Calvados:
“In my town, there’s a man who runs a specialist Calvados and Cider. Apple juice turns into cider and Calvados. He puts me in a van and walks me around Calvados’ old breweries. He gave me a stay at the house. That’s what I was talking about. “Slow and steady is the way! / The way it was, the way it is…” (Slow and steady! / The way it was the old and still is the same now. …) is exactly what you’re right. These farms have been going on for generations. Don’t panic. Wait for apples to grow, wait for the seasons to change. It’s not a laboratory. And finally, you can get this incredible panacea, Hishu!
The title track was also released at the same time, along with “Calvados” from Peter’s incredible new album Felt Better Alive. The song, carrying brilliant soul, is thrilling for its new album, which will be released by Strap Originals on Friday, May 16th.
