TAKING HOLD
On their introspective single Taking Hold, Common Culture hit the ground running in an infectious indie-rock-folk frenzy. The song’s theme grapples with anxiety and thoughts of self doubt; stopping at nothing to break free from destructive cycles.
“‘Taking Hold’ is a raw and honest look at the fear that can hold us back,” says Dan Watson (vocals and guitar). “It’s about the struggle to confront your demons and take control of your life, even when it feels like it’s too late.”
Ultimately, Taking Hold is an uplifting anthem of empowerment and motivation, which will resonate with people facing their own challenges and seeking a sense of self-belief to get them through.

what the world could be
What The World Could Be serves as a poignant lament for the Earth’s dwindling natural beauty and a stirring call to action in the face of greed and injustice destroying the planet.
What The World Could Be shows another side to Common Culture’s upbeat folk sound. This time, the band takes a different approach, weaving a huge fiddle hook with pounding drum loops and evocative lyrics that paint a vivid picture of a planet under siege.
Singer and Guitarist Dan Watson said “I wrote this song while thinking about the kind of world we’re going to leave behind us. I imagine a weary traveller who has somehow been transported into a future desolate planet, destroyed by greed. It’s a cynical look at big corporations who will no doubt apologise, when it’s too late and they’re very rich.”
