If you were one of the lucky people to have seen Perfume Genius on his U.K. tour, you will have heard the beautiful song ‘Rusty Chains’ form part of the show. For you and for those that couldn’t attend, the song is now available as a free download from the Matador Records website.
Mike Hadreas explains that the song is:
“…for a man whose lover has died. He remembers a time, before his partner took sick, where everything felt safe and endless. He asks to be taken next, so they can be together again.”
The song was previously available as an ‘iTunes-only’ special, with the download of the singer’s second album Put Your Back N 2 It.
