Tune in here:‘Sometimes, I Swear’ follows on from The Vaccines’ previous single ‘Heartbreak Kid’.Speaking about the forthcoming ‘Pick-Up Full Of Pink Carnations’ in a recent interview with NME, Young explained: “The whole record is very personal and real, and experienced and lived, but there are some songs on the record that are very literal and there are some that are stories.”Loss in many different forms fuels the album – a theme that Young said has been a part of The Vaccines’ DNA for a long time.
