Ahead of her first new solo LP in over 15 years, I Went to Find You (out May 30 on Last Gang), Amy Millan of Stars and Broken Social Scene fame has released a brand new single, "The overpass".
Watch the Sara Melvin-directed video below:
Millan, who considers the song a very personal one, had this to say:
"When I was 22, my first boyfriend’s mom died. It was a shock, it happened fast. The night of her funeral, a group of us went over the Bloor viaduct in Toronto and a couple of us got on the ledge and walked across what could have been a deathly end. There was no protection from falling off and below is a hundred feet directly onto the highway. It was famous for suicides in Toronto until they finally put up protective wiring a few years ago ... That night still haunts me with the thought of what an idiot I was. As weird as aging is, being in my 20s was a stupid time. Kissing all my friends to figure out which one was the one. It was all very unruly and I felt mostly lost. Turning 30 was the best thing that ever happened to me. I never believe people when they say 'oh the good old days' so my sardonic sarcastic feeling on that notion finally made it into a lyric."
