Jacob Fitzgerald Shares Heartbreaking New Single ‘Hurt Me Harder’

Earlier this month, we saw Melbourne based indie rock artist Jacob Fitzgerald hit back with a new track titled ‘Hurt Me Harder’ which is fuelled by ambient guitars and booming drums that  down the foundation of the track as the artists’ sweet vocals sweep through and have you in a trance. When the bridge kicks in and the charming notes from a saxophone swoop in and infect you with a delicious soundscape that just takes the track that little bit further and completes it.

Exploring the notions of heartbreak, Jacob explains the meaning of the track:

"I find that the deepest forms of love can at times drive you a little crazy. For good or ill. These feelings are usually exacerbated in times of heartbreak and loss, also for good or ill. That's the throughline of 'Hurt Me Harder'. It's about neglecting your feelings of pain to the point of insanity. The whole chorus is a message of 'nothing you could do would ever hurt me… I'll always love you' whilst the heartache is dominating your world. It's about putting someone on a pedestal, blaming yourself, bottling the pain, and using love as the excuse."

Following up from the release of his EP ‘Jacob Fitzgerald & The Electric City' late last year, The artist always finds a way to release such ambient, touching, emotional tracks featuring songwriting that hits you strongly in a different way and this is all proven on ‘Hurt Me Harder’. 

Celebrating the release, Jacob Fitzgerald will travel down the East Coast of Aus alongside Cheap Date & False London, playing in Brisbane this Friday before making his way to Sydney on the 23rd June, and finishing up on the 24th in Melbourne.
