New Song of the Week – BEATING HEARTS CLUB: “Black & White Love”
Beating Hearts Club is an indie folk-rock four-piece originally from the UK, and now based in Sydney, Australia. I learned about them when they reached out to me about their new single “Black & White Love“, and I’m glad they did, because I love their music. Comprising the band are Duncan Welsh (vocals/rhythm guitar), Ciaran Loughran (lead guitar/backing vocals), Peter Holt (drums) and Lukas Thurner (bass). Exactly one year ago, they released their beautiful debut single “Heroin”, an uplifting song about regaining hope through love. “Black & White Love”, which dropped today, April 24th, is the second single from their forthcoming album due out later this year, and I’ve chosen it as my New Song of the Week.
It starts off as a gentle ballad, with delicately strummed chiming guitars and somber but beautiful piano keys. The music gradually expands with the addition of subtle bass and just the right amount of drums, accompanied by some of the most achingly beautiful guitar work I’ve heard in a long while. Welsh’s plaintive vocals are lovely and heartfelt, and as the music builds to an anthemic crescendo in the final chorus, the guys’ soaring vocal harmonies are breathtaking, bringing chills to my body and a lump in my throat.
The moving lyrics continue to explore the theme expressed in “Heroin” – that finding true love in the right person can be a force for healing in our sometimes broken lives.
Bright eyes and pretty face
Will you meet me in the morning?
Since I have found my place
I can’t look back
I’m standing on the rocks where I’d once fallen
I sleep and call your name
Reach out, it’s you I’m holding
Since I have found my place
I’m on my feet I stare into your soul and I am home
Could you be the reason?
You know I need you
Seen my last chance die
But I’m still breathing
Do you feel what I’m feeling?
You know I need you
Shook me upside down
And I saw meaning
Your black & white love
My one adventurer
Well, when temptation comes
It’s clear to see that you’re the only one I’m thinking of
Could you be the reason?
You know I need you
Seen my last chance die
But I’m still breathing
Do you feel what I’m feeling?
You know I need you
Shook me upside down
And I saw meaning
Bright eyes and pretty face
Will you meet me in the morning?
“Black & White Love” is a real stunner of a track, and in my opinion one of the best songs of 2020 so far. It will surely make an appearance on my Weekly Top 30 soon!
