Dawes take on mental health and survival in their new song “Didn’t Fix Me”. Their new album ‘Good Luck with Whatever’ drops Friday Oct 2 2020 on Rounder Records.
“I'm sure we all know plenty of miserable people who seem to have it all and plenty of blissful people that seem to have close to nothing.
