Beddy Rays have shared their new single Stay The Same accompanied by an official video. The new track follows on from recent single Hold On and centres around frontman Jacko’s journey through tragedy, serving as a reminder to hold love ones close.
Speaking about the track, Jacko said, “I wrote this song soon after my sister Brin passed away. It’s really just me working through the plethora of emotions that I’ve experienced – the heartache, the longing, the helplessness, the self doubt, the denial – they’re all there. Wanting to be there for my family and friends, and just having to feel it all while also pushing through the normal day-to-day. The lyric “stay the same” refers to the idea of keeping Brin’s spirit alive and remembering her for how she was, forever 28.”
The band shot the video alongside long-term collaborator and video director Luke Dunning. “We wanted to film this video somewhere that we spent time at during our childhood, and eventually decided on the waterfront of our hometown Redland Bay. We grew up riding our push bikes along that beautiful stretch, so we pulled our mates in to play various characters, which was really special” he explains.
Beddy Rays are set to return to the UK in May 2025 with tour dates due to be announced shortly.
