Daily electricity to load your batteries
25 July 2023
Artist: FELIX HILL
Who: Young, up-and-coming
singer-songwriter from Bolton, UK
New single: SAFE AND SOUND
Hill: “‘It’s about a specific moment. The one where someone realises they’ve
seen their partner for the last time. It’s not been said out loud, but both of you
know that this goodbye is the one that’s forever.”
TUTV: No, Turn Up The Volume, doesn’t need noise all the time to please his ears.
One voice, one guitar, one musing, one thrill can make you silent and stop doing
what you’re doing. Something that illustrious songsmiths such as Nick Drake and
Elliott Smith did with heart and soul throughout their (too short) careers.
Felix Hill‘s has obviously the talent to make your silent and listen up close also
what he demonstrates here with this stripped to the bone humdinger of a song
about relation breakups. Safe And Sound is a romantic lullaby accompanied by
gentle electric-guitar sparks. Absorbing and moving. Making me think of the
early intimate songs of Jake Bugg.
Lyrics
Keep me company
On these long journeys
Going to and fro
All the way back home
Stay beside me
On those quiet nights
Where only cars are heard
With shining lights
The roads were bare
As I waved you off
Wishing you home
Safe and sound
Safe and sound again
Time and time
Time and time again
Until the last goodbye
Until the last goodbye
The trigger no one can see
That will only ever affect me
The look you give as you leave
Tells me you’ll be back again
Soon enough
Wishing you home
Safe and sound
Safe and sound again
Time and time
Time and time again
Until the last goodbye
Until the last goodbye
Listen/watch.
