Words: Ellie Ward
Kicking off his debut UK headline tour tomorrow (April 13), Archie Faulks has releases his brand new single ‘Wonderful’, a beautifully melancholic love song, displaying Archie’s alluring vocals and guitar alongside a stunning string section.
“‘Wonderful’ is a song inspired by the melancholy associated with the inevitable passing of time and the effect of it on the relationship of two people," he says. "A once glorious thing that, due to different paths chosen in life, could never come to fruition but is maintained through the thought of what could have been.
“It stemmed from the realisation that although there was still something strong there between us, it would never grow into anything more than it had been in the fleeting months at the start of the relationship. When lonely or in pain we can seek refuge in the glory days of our pasts and perhaps dream of a time when we can recapture these moments; however in reality we know that things, no matter how hard we want them, will never be what they once were. Before you realise what you have it is gone only remaining in the memory of feelings, places and song.”
‘Wonderful’ is the latest in a string of singles released since Archie emerged last year, following ‘Hung Up’, ‘Blackout’ and ‘It Rains’.
