Dundee’s rising stars, Copper Lungs, have done it again with their latest single, ‘Life Your Way’. This is a vibrant, emotionally charged track that epitomises the essence of living with purpose and embracing the beauty in every moment. Drawing inspiration from bands like Nothing But Thieves, Biffy Clyro and The 1975, Copper Lungs fuse their signature pop-rock sound with deeper, more reflective themes, creating a song that’s thought-provoking yet catchy.
Originally, ‘Life Your Way’ began as a light-hearted suggestion, but soon transformed
into a poignant celebration of life. Copper Lungs have matured, both in sound and
songwriting, embracing themes of loss, resilience, and the importance of living authentically. The soaring guitars, melodic harmonies, and ambient synths all come together to create a soundscape that is both uplifting and profound. As the vocals enter, there’s a Scottish authenticity in the delivery that stands out. Darren Lindsay’s ‘copper lungs’ carry a raw, emotional quality that perfectly complements the song’s lyrics. The chorus is a standout moment – a powerful, sing-along segment that feels destined for live performances, retaining a sense of genuine passion that’s often missing in mainstream rock. Lyrically, ‘Life Your Way’ explores individuality and self-determination, the message is clear: live life on your own terms.
As they gear up for their hometown headline show in Dundee, Copper Lungs are clearly on a trajectory toward greater things. Having already made waves with singles like ‘Younger Heart’ and ‘Falling’ and earning accolades from BBC Radio 1 Introducing, Copper Lungs continue to solidify their place as a rising force in the music scene. With ‘Life Your Way’, they offer a powerful soundtrack for those who choose to live boldly and with purpose – a track that’s as inspiring as it is unforgettable.
