Garvie’s self-produced single ‘Life’s Good’ is a feel-good anthem for pessimists.
The lyric deals with Garvie’s inability to be present and enjoy any moment. In a nursery-rhyme chorus, Garvie exclaims: “When life’s good, it feels like a trap… I never relax when I should” . It’s a consistent problem - Garvie said of the song: “I’m terrible at having a good time, even when nothing is wrong. I don’t have many problems in life but that’s never stopped me from creating new ones in my head”. Boo-hoo.
Garvie smashes his tongue-in-cheek lyrics and vocal hooks together in a hyperactive, OTT production where we hear influences from Still Woozy, Glass Animals and Garvie’s battered and bruised Gameboy. We start at full throttle, and the song barely relents in it’s compact 2 minutes 19 seconds - along the way we meet a cast of 8-bit gameboy synths, psychedelically groovy acoustic guitars and saccharine chipmunk vocals.
It all screams FUN. Ironic given the subject matter…
In his first four singles, Garvie has received airplay from BBC Radio 6 (who called his first single an ‘irresistible earworm’) and consistent support on all of his releases from both BBC Introducing and Amazing Radio UK/US. ‘Life’s Good’ is his debut release with LA-based label Beformer.
Bio - Garvie

Garvie is a songwriter who spent too much time playing video games… now he’s trapped in one.

That’s OK though – life in the real world wasn’t for Garvie. He spent years writing for other artists and cutting his teeth on the London live scene, but the lightbulb moment came when the gigs stopped, the Gameboy turned on and he learned to produce during 2020.

Garvie was forced to immerse himself in creating a sound of his own for once. What emerged was a sound-world that mixes the signature guitar grooves and bigger choruses of his past writing projects with the synths and cheeky 8-bit throwbacks of his new videogame existence. This sound is complemented by his animated DIY videos which use retro gaming graphics and Instagram filters to tell his story.

Lyrically Garvie is straight-talking with a touch of the dramatic and an unshakeable dry sense of humour. These are complemented by a voice which Frank Turner once commended for its authenticity.

With his first four singles Garvie has received airplay from BBC Radio 6 (Tom Robinson called his first single ‘Bad Person’ an ‘irresistible earworm’), consistent airplay on all releases from BBC Introducing and also regular airplay from Amazing Radio in the UK and US. Garvie is currently working with LA-based label Beformer on his upcoming releases.

Lyrics

Life's good
It feels like a trap,
I'm walking a plank
I never relax when I should
When life's

Got a head full
Head full of screams
Drowning
In dopamine
This is why I cannot have nice things
So careful
Always looking for the downside
Comedown sooner than I get high
Always tomorrow in mind
Here I go
What goes up gonna gonna come down
And I don't feel what I wanna

Life's good
It feels like a trap,
I'm walking a plank
I never relax when I should
When life's
Life's good
It feels like a trap,
I'm walking a plank
I never relax when I should
When life's

Taking on the world one-handed
Waiting on a broken clock
Call me when the flight has landed
Serotonin's worn off
I wanna be safe in the cocoon
So I don't leave my bedroom

'Til life's good
It feels like a trap,
I'm walking a plank
I never relax when I should
When life's
Life's good
It feels like a trap,
I'm walking a plank
I never relax when I should
When life's

Steady Eddy, easy now
Cause from here the only way is down

Life's good
It feels like a trap,
I'm walking a plank
I never relax when I should
When life's
Life's good
It feels like a trap,
I'm walking a plank
I never relax when I should
When life's
