Sprout Bookings & What We Did On The Weekend Present:
AGNES MANNERS - ONE AS BEAUTIFUL AS YOU
One as Beautiful as You is dedicated to the memory of our late friend Sean Kennedy. Matt started writing ‘Quiet Ire’ a month before Sean's passing, at a time when many of his closest friends were concerned about his wellbeing. The song was and is a paean to his fortitude and a token of Matthew's sympathy.
It had seemed to Matthew that he was well on his path to stability when he started writing ‘Free (SKF)’ - the world was well and Matt was falling for someone at the speed of light; he was enraptured in that burgeoning love when he got the call informing him that Sean was gone.
Agnes Manners had studio time coming up and Matt couldn’t write about anything else but didn’t know how to articulate what he was feeling and how sharply the week had pivoted. Plummeting from the vertiginous height of new affection to the fathomless gorge of bereavement.
Deciding to continue on chronologically and keep writing ‘Free’ from where he'd left off, Matt picked up 'Free' from verse 2.
Many of the band's close friends were quite literally worried sick about SK for the better part of last year and the start of this song was written as his ballad, in the form of Quiet Ire, with the belief that he’d get better. He didn’t and he died and Matt knew he wouldn’t have wanted another ballad. SK is free of the trauma that followed him since he was a boy and he is free of the depression and anxiety that hunted him as a man. 'Free' is melodically and lyrically reflective of that, his second song.
Agnes Manners has come into their own as an artist quickly. Off the back of a national tour with Hands Like Houses, Agnes Manners have grown from a band of lifelong friends and musicians into an efficient and aw capturing live act. Known for their emotive lyricism, captivating melodies and genre bending, Agnes Manners bring forward their most emotional release to date, "One as Beautiful as You".
To celebrate the release of ‘One as Beautiful as You’, Agnes Manners will be performing two very intimate concerts in Melbourne and Adelaide
