A Silent Film, 'Danny, Dakota and the Wishing Well' -- Song Premiere

Like the bluesmen of England in the 1960s who were inspired by American songwriters Robert Johnson, Howlin' Wolf and many others, A Silent Film have taken British sentiments toward American folk music and turned it into something special.

The Oxford rock band's latest album, Sand and Snow, pays homage to folk songs through their storybook lyrics and memorable choruses. The quartet's new tune, "Danny, Dakota and the Wishing Well," follows two lovers as they progress further apart during their lives.

"Danny, Dakota and the Wishing Well is a love song to a bygone era of Americana that inspired us in books and films when we were growing up in England," singer Rob Stevenson tells Spinner.

"The lyric is a story through and through with a respectful nod to Bruce Springsteen's The River; except we made up our characters when I like to believe he lived his heartbreak for real. We can't wait for people to hear these new songs."
