about

Barrelling through the saloon doors with wobble-pop indie anthem ‘Daddy’s Gone For Cigarettes’ and a point to prove, Trunky Juno continues his exploration of lo-fi bedroom pop, injected with a healthy dose of Americana. Driven by a gigantic hook capable of uniting hipsters and truckers alike, the track deals with running away from problems and expectations for a little while – or maybe even forever. As Trunky explains:

“Sometimes we all feel like going out to buy cigarettes and never coming home. Escaping reality by shaving your head and moving to a farm in the Outer Hebrides. Or maybe just turning your phone off for a few days. I loved the phrase “Daddy’s gone for cigarettes” so much and decided to write a track around it. It took a really long time to get it right, but I hope the message is one the average anxious millennial cowboy/cowgirl out there can enjoy.”

lyrics

Daddy kissed your head,
Gone for Cigarettes.
Took the dog instead,
Never Coming back.

Your Mama she loves you so,
Your Papa don’t have to know.
I’m a star who’s shining brightly on his own,
I think i’ve gotta go.

I just need some help,
To get out of bed.
Dreams are for weekends,
Is what my teachers said.

I feel older now,
Than I’ve ever felt before.
Never gonna feel,
Any other way.

Your Mama she loves you so,
Your Papa don’t have to know.
I’m a star who’s shining brightly on his own,
I think i’ve gotta go.

But you,
Don’t have to change a thing,
About yourself for me.
Tell the kids I’ve gone for some cigarettes while they play.
But I’ll be back again
I don’t know the how, the if, or the when.
But all i know is that something is ending.

Your Mama she loves you so,
Your Papa don’t have to know.
I’m a star who’s shining brightly on his own,
I think i’ve gotta go.

Your Mama she loves you so,
Your Papa don’t have to know.
I’m a star who’s shining brightly on his own,
I think i’ve gotta go.
