Adam Holmes has shared a new video for his highly personal new single ‘If You Ever Needed Me’ which is out on 26th July.
Taken from his new album Dreamweaver, Adam describes If You Ever Needed Me as “a collection of images”, he continues “it was one of the first songs that appeared for the record and was written in the midst of domestic parental duties. It’s about the feeling of being a father in the early days – the sense of observing from the side-lines and trying to be useful. The sleepy and magical haze is of obligation and the tearing of our souls from our old child-free lives. It’s a song about the beauty and the pain of sacrifice”.
Like the song, the accompanying video is equally touching, featuring some beautifully intimate captured moments. This is Adam Holmes at his most enchanting. It’s also our Song of the Day:
Dreamweaver is co-written with Ivor Novello nominated songwriter Boo Hewerdine (Chris Difford, Eddie Reader, K.D. Lang, Kris Drever); Adam says, “he’s the only songwriter I’ve ever really wanted to write with…I was surprised about how natural it was. We have a really good relationship socially, so it felt like an extension of that.”
