about

debut single.

“As debut releases go ‘I Was An Astronaut’ is an impressive start: Indie-Pop guitars, big verses and an even bigger chorus. To think that it’s not just the band’s first non-demo release, but the very first song they ever created together, leaves us very excited for the future of this Castlerock band indeed." ~ BBC, Across The Line

"Despite the relative youth of the band, this track is tinted with a sharp edge of nostalgic yearning. We might still be trapped in the cold, early months of 2016, but Brand New Friend have released a song that encapsulates that blissful, carefree headspace of festival season."
~ DublinConcerts.ie

lyrics

i'm not interested in your games, they never meant that much to me
if i could, i would tell you why the hell you've came to mean this much to me

i don't think i've seen you sober, or your friends but that is just the way we are
do you still dream in static? you'll move away, but you'll never be that far

you're just like me
you're hanging on and hung over

i was an astronaut, in your smile and in your eyes
but i've not seen that coming into my life
not in a while
