Indie music aficionados, here’s something that will tug at your heartstrings and resonate with the depth of real-life experiences. Soft Play has emerged from a hibernation of artistry with a soul-stirring single titled ‘Everything And Nothing’. Wrapped in the resonance of indie rock, this track is not just a set of melodies but a narrative drenched in the poignancy of existence. Let’s dive into the beauty and the pain that birthed this masterpiece:
- The new single is a profound exploration of love, loss, and resurgence.
- It marks Soft Play’s powerful return after a six-year album hiatus, signaling a new era of their musical journey with ‘HEAVY JELLY’.
- Frontman Isaac Holman bares his soul about loss, grief, and a haunting sense of nostalgia.
- Laurie Vincent’s input adds a layer of raw emotionality, declaring the song as a mirror to life’s cyclical nature.
Here’s what the artists had to say:
“I started writing the words in lockdown in the depths of a mental health breakdown. My good mate Bailey had just passed away, Laurie had not long lost his partner, Emma to cancer. During that stint, I kept seeing people that looked like Bailey, which unlocked the next line of the tune and allowed the rest to come out.” – Isaac Holman
“The song and video encapsulate the journeys we’ve all been on: loss, love, rebirth, it’s the cycle of life. Raw pain and bitter beauty.” – Laurie Vincent
