Setting the tone with exquisite and immersive guitar, rising artist Emma Elizabeth gives us a taste of what is to come with her transcendental new single, A World Away.
The Live Acoustic version of the song is what has had us hooked and on repeat, opening with the lyrics, “I can feel the light, shining through my window, as I close my eyes, I watch it disappear…”
The song takes us on an intimate journey, documenting the connection between two people with descriptive and emotional moments like, “you’re a world away, but I feel you in my sleep” and the introspective “just like that everything changes, and just like that everything’s gone”.
The hook is heartfelt and Emma delivers an emotive performance of the words, “don’t don’t don’t run away… all you wanna do is stay”.
Speaking on the purpose of the track, Emma says, “I have released this song as part of my crowd funding campaign. I am trying to raise €5000 to help me complete my album. A fully produced studio version of this song will be available on the album.”
The crowd funding page can be found here, and we have been watching the beautiful and cinematic video of the live session on loop!
Speaking on the creation of the track, Emma says, “I wrote this song three years ago when I was living in Thailand. Initially I thought I had written it about a situation that a friend was going through.”
“The song is about those moments when you are too scared to express what you really need from someone. Letting the fear of being vulnerable get in the way of letting someone know how you really feel about them.”
We cannot wait for Emma’s album and have been streaming her existing discography including Higher and Not Like in the Movies. A World Away has also been featured on our New Music Spotlight playlist!
