Indie alternative artist Elephant, the moniker of Dundalk songwriter Shane Clarke, is back with a new single "Young" set to release on March 3rd. The song is an ode to embracing and loving oneself for the unique qualities that make each person who they are. In Elephant's own words, "Young is all about loving the unique things that make you you. Do you like to dance around the house in your pajamas? Dine out in restaurants alone? Put the TV on just for the company? Are you afraid of the dark, heights, or just being alone? Are you single and nearing 40? Do you want me to stop asking questions?! Love yourself, you're too young to be worrying about all that."
