Last year, we had the honour of featuring Chris Caulfield for his super multi-dimensional and emotive masterpiece, Feelings, and the high octane StoneBridge remix of the song, so when we heard that the star had just released the Radio Edit of Porchlight, we couldn’t wait to experience it!
Establishing the mood with astral vocal textures, strummed guitar and dimensional frequencies, Chris Caulfield opens Porchlight with emotive and atmospheric vocals, as he shares his soul.
The opus evolves with drama and risers to deliver a luscious pop soundscape, with introspective and passionate prose, full of poetic prowess and authenticity. We love the situational themes which are relatable as Chris evokes a relatable energy with the song.
Speaking on the release, Chris confesses, “Porchlight is about finding your way back to someone, the concept of knowing you belong together, even if you drift apart for a time, even a long time, or face tough times.”
He adds with depth, “The concept of leaving on the porchlight, common when expecting someone to come home after dark – symbolic here of like the door being open and wanting your partner to come back.”
Tying it all back to his reality, we learn more from the visionary artist as he says, “In real life, my wife and I who have been together for more than 12 years, and before that had dated as teenagers, we faced our hardest time together in 2021, and we did ultimately push through together and are still together, this song is written as an alternate ending, if we did drift apart, knowing we’re meant for each other, and knowing that she knows that too – or as a prequel before getting back together years ago.”
We are in awe of what Chris Caulfield creates and his alternate universe certainly has us in our feels! We have added the emotive new single, Porchlight, to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Chris Caulfield‘s wider discography including AWOL, Slide and of course, Feelings!
