Clap Your Hands Say Yeah Shares Home-Bound Single “CYHSY, 2005”

For many musicians, being able to travel and tour is a bittersweet component to the job and lifestyle. Seeing the world from a performer’s point of view is an earned privilege, but at times, the lack of stability and a place of grounding can feel like an enigma. For Clay Your Hands Say Yeah frontman Alec Ounsworth (and many others), the limitations of 2020 ushered in a new perspective on the meaning of “home” and “stability”.

On their new single “CYHSY, 2005”, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah explore the duality of those words. “Part of being away so often is leaving people behind, and never feeling you’re able to establish conventionally meaningful relationships,” says Ounsworth of the song’s inspiration. “You can be searching for stability – being in one place – and discover that that’s an illusion.”

With swelling strings, steady folk guitars, and Ounsworth’s melancholic voice, “CYHSY, 2005” runs through the different tour dates as he longs for a place to call home and crawl into bed every night on the introvert’s anthem.

As change continues to place a crucial part in the music industry, their new album New Fragility explores different avenues of change, from the end of relationships to paradigm shifts, including the nostalgic tune “CYHSY, 2005”. The album will be out February 12th and can be pre-ordered here.
