Daffo releases new single ‘Poor Madeline’
Rising indie folk musician Daffo (Gabi Gamberg) has shared their dreamy new single ‘Poor Madeline.’
Rising Philadelphian Daffo has released their latest single, ‘Poor Madeline.’ On it, they craft a magnetic sonic experience, blending elements of folk and indie-rock to create a captivating, somewhat dreamy quality likely to resonate deep within the listener. Ironically, the song’s melancholic themes of solitude and depression envelop it in a comforting embrace.
Here’s Daffo discussing the song:
“‘Poor Madeline’ is about the loss of the feeling of home. I wrote it when I was 17, my parents sold my childhood home and I went off to boarding school. I ended up moving 6 times in the span of 9 months. I had nowhere to keep my things, because I never really had my own room, so I kept giving them away and leaving them at various friends’ and family members’ houses. When I wrote the song I kept thinking about the “Madeline” children books by Ludwig Bemelmans, where Madeline is at boarding school in Paris and gets appendicitis. At the time I was having these very intense stomach problems and panic attacks, and I kept thinking I had appendicitis, so I thought her name would be fitting for the song. Anyway, I was a depressed teenager, still technically am, but now at least I find home within myself wherever I am.”
