24 Hours 7 Days

about

Euan Blackman crafts introspective and evergreen songs for rainy road trips with wistful gazes. There is something of the past in his music, not retrospect, but memories we all share, tales of the human condition in soft focus.

His debut single ‘24 Hours 7 Days’ comes out on Friday 30th July. It is the first single from his EP ‘Grateful For The Moments Spent Alone’.

Self-written and produced in his bedroom studio over lockdown, the track details the pain of long-distance relationships. With soft double tracked vocals akin to Elliott Smith, along with a lush ‘The 1975’-esque arrangement, ‘24 Hours 7 Days’ is the kind of warm comforting sound we need after the tumultuous year.

Despite being unreleased, ‘24 Hours 7 Days’ has been spun by Dave Monks on BBC Radio Merseyside and has gathered notable praise from serious artists and radio DJ’s including Jack Saunders (BBC Radio 1), Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park), Benjamin Francis Leftwich (Dirty Hit), Beaux (Dirty Hit), Ewan J Phillips and many more.

Euan Blackman’s music may just be starting out, but it feels like you’ve known him for some time.

‘I really love this’ - Jack Saunders (BBC Radio 1)

‘I like your songs, keep writing and growing’ - Benjamin Francis Leftwich (Dirty Hit)

‘I’m impressed, the song-writing is great, period’ - Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park)

lyrics

24 Hours 7 Days

Some days I wake up and I just don’t wanna move
My head feels cold and heavy like a statue in the Louvre
Summers gone, we’re moving on, it’s time to be alone
I guess this rented house will never feel like home

And when she’s away
I just don’t know what to say
On the phone
Except I’m feeling low

For 24 hours
7 days a week
I’m gonna miss you
Gonna miss you
Like a single white flower
Dying in the heat
I’m gonna miss you
Gonna miss you

I know I like to argue and I know I always lose
But back in school I’d only speak when I was spoken to
Summers gone, we’re moving on, it’s time to get it right
But the spark inside my eyes is like a dying fairy light

And when I’m alone
I do better i suppose
But sometimes
I need you by my side

For 24 hours
7 days a week
I’m gonna miss you
Gonna miss you
For 24 hours
You know I'll feel so weak
Just waiting for you
Cos I miss you

I don't need a scientist
To figure it out
Cos I know I can’t resist
Lying and hiding in doubt
I just wanna show
I’ll love you through the cold and snow
Til' summer
Til' summer

For 24 hours
7 days a week
I’m gonna miss you
Gonna miss you
Like a cold little flower
That needs a bit of heat
I’m gonna miss you
Gonna miss you
