Emerging alt folk-rock artist and producer Liv Bloore returns with her second single, ‘Sing For Me’.
Written after leaving university, ‘Sing For Me’ navigates long-distance love, friendships, and the question of what ‘home’ really means. Liv shares the following:
“My understanding of what ‘home’ was to me became really distorted. The opening lyric ‘wait for me, I’ll be on the last train home’ was written when I was homesick listening to lots of sad folk music on my long train journeys to see my partner.”
The lyrics draw on the Greek myth of Icarus as a metaphor for love that becomes controlling, and a childhood memory of Liv’s mother keeping bees, clipping a queen’s wings to keep her from flying away.
“I had this feeling that if I left the situation I was in, my whole life would unravel and I would lose everything. It is that feeling of knowing a love is doomed, and you’d rather take both of you down to the ‘bottom of it all’ than let anyone fly away.”
