Dom Malin Shares New Single ‘Porcelain Boat’
British singer and songwriter Dom Malin shares his brand new single Porcelain Boat, a captivating indie/pop-rock song about vulnerability and scars from the past.
What I like the most about this song is its warmth and emotive vocals which set the tone for a warm and memorable listening experience. Porcelain Boat finds the talented artist singing about finding peace after being hurt, using porcelain as a way to symbolise one's vulnerability. It shares with listeners that we can always rise again after being hurt even though it might seem impossible during our lowest moments. A song with a hopeful touch that is flawlessly conveyed through his smooth, evocative vocals which are accompanied by intricate guitar riffs nicely intertwined with steady drum patterns that come together to create an overall warm, intimate atmosphere perfect for an introspective day home alone.
Speaking about this song, Dom Malin said,
This song is about finding peace and renewal after enduring deep emotional or physical pain. As I wrote it, I was reflecting on the bruises that cover not just my body but my spirit, bruises that seem invisible to the world, even though the storm inside me rages on. I’ve lost and found myself in these moments, feeling isolated even though there are no clouds in sight—just relentless rain. The idea of a fragile handmade porcelain boat is symbolic of my vulnerability. I'm entrusting myself to the currents, hoping they’ll take me somewhere safe, knowing that the sun will rise again even if I can’t see it right now.
As I drift, I’m greeted by the arms of nature—a force that both cradles me and gives me the fresh start I desperately need. Familiar faces appear in the darkness, comforting me, reminding me of those I’ve loved, fought with, and played alongside. These memories bring a sense of warmth even in my isolation. Fear holds me back at times, especially when I want to let hope in. There are days I just can’t face, days where the weight of everything feels too much. Yet, I find a sense of calm in the quiet that follows the storm. That silence has a charm, a reminder that I am being reborn through these trials, even when I feel weakest.
By the end, I’m reminded of my own strength. Over and over again, I tell myself that I must be strong, because the path forward—no matter how difficult—offers a chance for healing. It's a journey of surrendering to both nature and the inner battles, knowing that something new and pure awaits me, but only if I can gather the strength to keep going.
