We’re so excited to give you a first listen to our brand new track “We Miss You”
This song is deeply personal — written in loving memory of Alan Allcock, the father of guitarist Nigel. Losing a parent and best friend is never easy, and this track is our way of honouring his memory and the huge impact he had on all of us.
“We Miss You” marks a beautiful new chapter for 8 Lives Down.
We’ve stepped into fresh musical territory with the addition of strings, piano, and richer arrangements that take the song to a whole new emotional level. This is just the beginning — expect even more musical evolution and development from us in the months ahead.
We poured our hearts into this one, and we can’t wait for you to hear it.
Drop a ❤️ if you’ve ever lost someone special. Tag someone who needs to hear this.
Full track dropping soon… stay tuned!

Britain nearly lost its entire army. 📰🇬🇧
May 1940. 400,000 men trapped on a beach at Dunkirk. The Navy sent everything it had. It wasn't enough.
Churchill expected 30,000 saved. Out of 400,000.
A phone rang in a fishing village. 📞
And another. And another. Harbours. Marinas. Rivers. Anyone with a vessel.
850 boats crossed the English Channel into a war zone. Fishing boats. Pleasure yachts. Lifeboats. Paddle steamers. One was only fourteen feet long.
Civilians. No training. No weapons. No orders.
The destroyers couldn't reach the beaches. Too shallow. The little boats could. They drove straight onto the sand. Pulled soldiers from the water with their bare hands. Ferried them to the destroyers. Then went back. Again, and again. ⚓
While Britain evacuated, 40,000 French soldiers held the line. They knew they would not be leaving.
Churchill expected 30,000. They saved 338,000. Eleven times that. 🇬🇧
Some of those boats still sail today. Every year, they cross the Channel together. Back to Dunkirk.
Because no one ordered them to go. They chose to.
This is what British people do. When it matters, they show up.
We think our history matters. If you think so too, help us keep it alive → https://t.co/rih7iKwnvf
Be part of us.
Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧
THEY CAN'T BEAT LOVE.
It's gonna be wonderful and I believe it. And of course we all get depressed and down about it. But when I'm down or when John & Yoko's down, Desmond will be up or somebody else will be up there. Always somebody carrying the flag and beating the drum, you know, so...
They - whoever they are... don't stand a chance. Because they can't beat Love. Because all those old bits from religion and that about Love being all powerful is true, you know? And that's the bit they can't do. You know, they can't handle it. #powertothepeople
