Trigger warning: This is an absolutely heartbreaking story concerning suicide.
Kneecap have shared a new song about their mothers that written before Móglaí Bap’s mother died of suicide.
In an Instagram post, the band say:
For our latest project with DYRT we wanted to create one song that’s a bit different from the usual.

So we decided to do a tune about somethin real, our Mothers.
I was really looking forward to lettin Mam hear the tune but i told her she’d have to wait til it’s done, I wanted it to be perfect for her.
Unfortunately, i lost my mother recently to suicide and it broke my heart that she never got to hear it.
Keep and eye out for each other especially over crimbo 💚
We’re going to have the single on sale next week to raise money for Samaritans charity
