Clancy Pye—

Sometimes the best thing about the journey isn’t where you’re going, but who’s sitting beside you. For Orange based country singer-songwriter Clancy Pye, that sentiment is at the heart of her new single, Sunday Drive.

A tender tribute to love and the beauty of life’s little differences, Sunday Drive finds Clancy pairing contemporary country songwriting with a delightfully traditional sound. Rolling banjo, glassy pedal steel and twangy electric guitars provide a fitting backdrop for her honeyed vocal, with an earworm chorus that feels as effortless as a lazy afternoon behind the wheel.

At its heart, Sunday Drive is a song about two people who don’t necessarily see the world the same way but wouldn’t want to navigate it with anybody else. One is a Friday night, the other is a Sunday afternoon. One is the neon sign, the other is the front porch light. Different in all the right ways, and better together because of it.

“Lyrically, I wanted to explore that idea of ‘yin and yang’ in a relationship, how two people can be completely different yet complement each other in all the right ways as they navigate life’s twists, turns and uncertainties. They say the best part of life’s journey is who you get to share it with, and it was fun to weave that theme throughout the song,” says Clancy.

Written by Clancy, Sunday Drive was the final song recorded for her forthcoming debut album, Feels Like Home, and quickly became a favourite among the musicians who brought it to life, including Pete Drummond, Michele Rose, Sean Rudd and Clancy’s brother Mickey Pye.
