🎶 What's on your mind, tell me what's on your mind?

‘Summer’ the new single from Lewis McLaughlin is a testament to the simple joys of being young, having few cares in the world, whatever the weather. It brings musical escapism - asking us to leave our worries in the house and enjoy a moment with others in the sun. It draws influence from traditional forms and filters them with a contemporary lens to blend alt folk and rock into something unique.

A choir of Lewis’ rich musical network gels the track; “the song has always been very strongly focused on inclusion, community and togetherness. I hope that comes across in this version and the music video.” 

It was recorded in Glasgow where he currently lives. He is 20 years old and was inspired by the likes of John Martyn and Villagers to begin writing and recording his own songs.

'Rest Your Head'

I can tell that, you are out of luck,
you’ve lost everything you love that made you whole.
Just a shadow of your former self,
there’s no air for the flame in your soul.

You’ve got to see you can fight this.
Just take a breath and ignite it,
and you’ll feel love, fill your lungs
just gotta believe.

So come and rest your head on me, if you’re feeling low,
cos I can’t bear to find you falling on your own.
I’ll do anything if I see the signs.
You deserve to shine with a blinding light.
So come and rest your head on me if you’re feeling low.

There’s a cloud as black as night in your mind but I’ll,
do everything I can, to help you find gold, linings of gold.

You’ve got to see you can fight this.
Just take a breath and ignite it,
and you’ll feel love, fill your lungs
just gotta believe.

So come and rest your head on me, if you’re feeling low,
cos I can’t bear to find you falling on your own.
I’ll do anything if I see the signs.
You deserve to shine with a blinding light.
So come and rest your head on me if you’re feeling low.

But you’ve got to see you can fight this.
I’m telling you you can fight this.
You’re strong enough to ignite it,
if you can believe.

So come and rest your head on me, if you’re feeling low (feeling low),
cos I can’t bear to find you falling on your own.
I’ll do anything if I see the signs.
You deserve to shine with a blinding light. 
So come and rest your head on me if you’re feeling low (low).
So come and rest your head on me if you’re feeling low.

Rest Your Head (Acoustic)

LYRICS

We're all growing old,
And I'm wearing thin.
Wish that I could find myself,
Some thicker skin.

Am I breaking down again?
Think I'm breaking down again.

I just need a little pick-me-up.
Something to make it through this drive.
So when I'm stuck, I remind myself,
That time forever moves clockwise. 

I wanna' be young and dumb,
Feel invincible.
Chasing any direction,
But it's never that simple.

Am I breaking down again?
Think I'm breaking down again.

I just need a little pick-me-up.
Something to make it through this drive.
So when I'm stuck, I remind myself,
That time forever moves clockwise. 

All these moments pass,
Losing our faith.
We're not getting out of our own way.

All these moments pass,
No one to blame.
We're not getting out of our own way. 

I just need a little pick-me-up.
Something to make it through this drive.
So when I'm stuck, I remind myself,
That time forever moves clockwise.

Clockwise

“See The Light” came together through Matt and Andrew’s personal story of trying to make it in the music industry.  The song is a chronicle of the brothers’ attempt to make it to the top of the music charts.  It’s a tale of their passion, struggles, and resiliency.

The song is an ode to anyone who is pursuing their passion and trying to achieve their dreams. As everyone knows, nothing good ever comes easily.

See The Light

Saintway’s new upbeat folk pop single, “Here Comes the Fire”, reminds you of that fine line where a folk song becomes the highlight of a summer pop festival. With its nanana- and oh-oh-oh melodies in the style of Vance Joy, combined with the pop-influenced vocal harmonies that you could easily integrate to an EDM hit, the song is a perfect soundtrack to a cozy feel-good Saturday hangout.  

The sunshine vibes are contrasted by the slightly gloomy lyrics about the kind of complicated relationships where the end is no longer a choice, but a matter of leaving space for something better in your life. However, the single is sounds way less country-ish or chill-folk than their previous release, which gives a rather lighthearted and hopeful tone to an otherwise harsh goodbye.  

Originally a duo conformed by the brothers Kristiansson in their native Lund in 2014, the band later became a five-piece act when they moved to Stockholm. Their sound has evolved from acoustic, chill indie-folk tunes to a more pop-oriented vibe that would be the delight of any EDM remixer. Their 2016 slow indie folk ballad, “Dark Clouds”, earned them a place on Swedish National Radio Station P3, on their program for upcoming talents. The song was on the top 10 voted by the audience for several weeks.   

After working on establishing themselves in the local Stockholm scene and some summer festivals across Sweden, Saintway is preparing for the release of “Here Comes the Fire”, which will be available as a digital single on September 7th.

Lyrics
I’ve been born and died
Lost and I’ve
Waited for a lifetime just to be denied
Would you pay the cost?
Are you strong enough?
No guarantees, no trading back the years you’ve lost

What are you waiting for, a sign?

Wisdom, boredom
Sideline, stardom

All this back and forth
Such a frantic sort
Reaching out and grasping for somebody’s hand to hold
But you’ve come so far
Seen so much since then
And what was once, will never be enough again

What are you waiting for, a sign?

Wisdom, boredom
Sideline, stardom
