Viennese dream-pop quartet GARDENS returns with new single ‘Good This Way’.
With dreamy distortion, ‘Good This Way’ navigates first heartbreak and the shattered view of romance. Lead vocalist/songwriter Luca Celina Müller shares the following about ‘Good This Way’:
“Being fed romantic movies with happy endings throughout adolescence has led me to a distorted, romanticized view on love which got shattered as soon as the first heartbreak hit. The opening lines describe a real situation in which I felt confronted with someone else’s heartbreak that I had originally caused, thereby shattering his belief in our everlasting love. While reflecting on the bursting of that bubble this song is also a way of coming to terms with the fact that love comes and goes, and that it is “good this way” after all.
We wanted the audio production to reflect the storyline. The song takes you through highs and lows, through dreamy parts that mimic the thought of never ending love in younger days, up to the finale with fuzzy guitars, raging synth arpeggios and more distorted, more emotional vocals.”
