Dreamer Boy is back with a new single titled “Suckerpunch,” and it really packs a punch!
Serving as a follow up to his previous single “Heartbreaker,” Dreamer Boy describes the feeling of being a true fool for love.
“‘Suckerpunch’ is about repeatedly getting stomped on by yearning for love – that repeated action of reaching out and putting your heart on the line and then it getting stomped on – how that cycle wears down the psyche,” says Dreamer Boy. “Looking the other way for someone means ‘Hey, I know you’ve hurt me time and time again, but I’ll just look the other way one more time.’ Just the insanity of going back through that willingly. To follow up ‘Heartbreaker,’ I wanted to get deeper into the heartbreak emotion, and the pattern of that.”
Dreamer Boy also spills, “This song is the first time I reference the Rodeo Clown directly. As I was writing the second verse, it felt like it would be good to just include exactly why I am the Rodeo Clown. This song perfectly sums up where this character comes from – that beaten down, stomped on feeling. The song has a chanty, energetic feeling to it – it’s almost a little manic and chaotic.”
The production on “Suckerpunch” glows like a sea of stars one might see while driving through the countryside. It’s also the first song Dreamer Boy wrote with his band The Lone Stars, that truly encapsulates their goals for creating a song. The track turned out to be everything they could have wanted and more!
Dreamer Boy says, “It unlocked our production philosophy and began this process of trust with my new collaborators. It started out with all of us stomping around in the room. That was an important moment for the whole process – it brought everything back to just trying to capture performances and moments that felt very candid and natural and expressive.”
