With “If You Could Talk,” Dexter and the Moonrocks flex their storytelling prowess with narrative depth and raw honesty. Alternating between their signature hard-hitting, guitar-driven sound and intimate acoustics, the song poignantly captures the emotional experience of being away from home and apart from the ones you love. Piercingly vulnerable, the song highlights the struggle between relationship and obligation, opening with “Tell me, are you not alright/All you do is cry ever since I left/I’m sorry, I hate it when I work/I swear the Heavens and the Earth stand still for you.” The music video is equally layered with sentiment, cutting between scenes of life back home and life on the road–with an ever-present phone at its symbolic centre.
“The song, If You Could Talk, and what it means to me is about having a family back home that you never get to see,” says lead singer James Tuffs. “It’s about what a conversation would sound like with your son if he knew how to talk, or whoever it may be. Everyone has something they are leaving behind when they hit the road, and this song is about all of those endless struggles that come with that. “
Dexter and The Moonrocks’ hot streak continues into the summer with an abundance of live shows, and they are currently on the road for the second leg of their nearly sold-out headline Welcome To The Donkey Flats tour, followed by select support dates for Shinedown and Turnpike Troubadours. Additionally, they’ll bring their Western Space Grunge to festival stages at Rocklahoma, and Strummingbird Festival. All tour dates can be found HERE.
