13th Floor New Song Of The Day: Mark Lanegan – Playing Nero

It’s always good to hear from Mark Lanegan, and this new song is no exception.

The song is Playing Nero and it precedes Lanegan’s upcoming album, Somebody’s Knocking, which is due to be released on October 18th.

Here’s what Mark Lanegan had to say about the song:

Sietse van Gorkom, who has been an important part of my creative circle since 2013, writing charts and playing strings as well as touring and writing with me on occasion, sent me the music for this tune. I wrote the words in twenty minutes, having just received some unhappy news that informed the lyrics and began a healing process.”
