Richard Dawson Gets Existential on New Song “Dead Dog in an Alleyway”

English folk artist Richard Dawson just released the visuals to his eerie “Dead Dog in an Alleyway,” off of his newest album, 2020. The song is a reflection of Dawson’s world view, as the dead dog represents the ugliness and dreariness in the world that Dawson, as well as all of us, come into contact with in his and our daily lives.

Dawson’s 2020 was huge critical success, as many critics reveled in Dawson’s ability to portray the world as he sees it through his music. “Two Halves,” also off of 2020, was given the honor of one of our favorite songs of 2019. See what other songs made the cut for the best songs 0f 2019 here.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
