LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Don’t Waste Your Heart On Me’ - Worry Dolls

Taken from their wonderful latest album ‘Go Get Gone’ our featured track today is the beautiful and reflective ‘Don’t Waste Your Heart On Me’ by the lovely London based duo the Worry Dolls. The song is written by Zoe, Rosie and Doak Turner and produced by Neilson Hubbard in Nashville .

With new music promised in the new year the future is looking very bright for these two very talented ladies. They are currently on a UK tour catch them if you can.

“Don’t Waste Your Heart On Me was one of the few songs we wrote to the banjo instead of guitar, giving it a different feel to the others on the record. It’s got a darkness to it because it’s about leaving someone you love, knowing you can’t ever be what they need. Knowing that continuing any longer would only result in more pain down the line.

“We got to perform the song at the U.K. Americana Awards back in February at Hackney Empire with Ethan Johns and his incredible band. Ethan specifically chose this song as his favourite on our record, and it gave it a new lease of life for us.

“The video purely focuses on the reaction of the partner in this song. We wanted long shots that didn’t cut, to really connect with the emotions he’s going through. It stars Sid Phoenix, who’s an award winning actor from the USA. We fell in love with a video he sent us which was a performance of Julia Stiles’ emotional monologue from 10 Things I Hate About You. Not only was he capable of making us feel raw, authentic emotion but we loved that it was a gender flipped performance. That echoed what we wanted to achieve with this video. You rarely see men cry on screen and we really wanted to make space for that. We want guys to watch this and know that it’s ok to cry, it isn’t a sign of weakness. Sometimes life is too much. Sometimes you get dumped.”
