"'A New Kind of Lonely' was written after the house fire, during interludes of putting a (figurative) revolver against my temple, eventually reminding me that I hadn't lost everything at all. In fact, the only lasting thing I had truly lost was my idea of what the future would look like. Everything else was eventually going to go away on its own someday."
"It brought a new sense of gratitude and clarity to everything. My ego, feeling like I had failed myself and everyone else, hid all the tools the world had given me, making it feel impossible to navigate unfamiliar roads without the creature comforts and 'stuff' I was used to being surrounded by - stuff that felt like my legacy. 'A New Kind of Lonely' is the sudden and rewarding realization that it's okay to move forward without the plans and collections I treated only as my future, without ever enjoying them in the moments on the way there."
Amigo the Devil (Danny Kiranos) lost nearly everything in a June house fire, including original artwork, handwritten lyric books, decades of demos, a vast collection of curiosities, family keepsakes, and his girlfriend Abbey's dog, Kobe. He released the acoustic single "A New Kind of Lonely" as an intensely personal reflection on the fire, confronting suicidal thoughts and grief while arriving at gratitude and clarity. The song frames the only lasting loss as his imagined future and celebrates moving forward without possessions or deferred plans. A GoFundMe remains active to help recoup losses.
