In their latest release, Dawes delves deep into the complexities of relationships with their intimate new song and accompanying video, “Still Strangers Sometimes.” The track captures the bittersweet reality that even the closest of bonds can occasionally feel distant, reflecting the band’s signature blend of raw emotion and lyrical depth.

The video further enhances this narrative, offering a visual journey that complements the song’s themes of connection, estrangement and the enduring effort to bridge the gaps that can form over time. As it begins, there are band-members and other people following along to the lyrics of the song as it transitions to different day periods, following a joyous atmosphere that showcases the joy of one another.

Dawes masterfully captures the nuances of human connection, reminding us that relationships, no matter how deep, require constant nurturing and understanding. The song and video leave a lasting impression, resonating with anyone who has ever felt the ebb and flow of closeness and distance in their own relationships. The song is now available for pre-order and the Oh Brother Tour begins on November 7 in Knoxville, Tennessee.
