Acclaimed singer-songwriter Amigo the Devil (aka Danny Kiranos) has today released a brand new single entitled The Mechanic. It is the second song to be lifted from his third studio album, Yours Until The War Is Over, which is set for release on February 23, 2024 and contains ATD’s most disarming and inspired collection of songs to date.
The Mechanic sees hauntingly soft strings and Spanish-style acoustic guitar complement lyrics that reflect on a broken relationship, searching for a happiness lost to the painful reality of time spent together. Bonded through both love and trauma, the lyrics are profound in their depth yet simplicity:
Like a house that’s on fire but you love how it feels,
So you throw in the memories to feed it.
The more you let go, the harder it is to leave.
“The song is in line with realising your own flaws, but coming from the opposite side to my previous single ‘Cannibal Within’, where you are the one causing a lot of the imbalance,” explains Kiranos.
