The Maine have released a new track, “Black Butterflies & Déjà Vu,” which premiered exclusively today on NYLON. The single, off the band’s forthcoming album Lovely, Little, Lonely (due out April 7), is a song for when words alone don’t suffice.
Of the song, frontman John O’Callaghan explains:
“This song is for the moments, places, or persons that somehow turn your tongue to stone. Those times when words truly do not possess the power to adequately paint the subject. For me, this was written for an instance when the world was made clear to me for only an instant. When trouble faded into wonder, and I had absolutely no use for the 26 letters I know.”
