Capturing the feeling of a life on hold and the anticipation of a future just out of reach, ‘Waiting Around to Live’ is the utterly beautiful new single courtesy of Colorado-based folk artist Brian Mathew.
Full of heart and emotion, the laidback tune unfolds with gentle grace – expertly layered and pieced together. Mixed and produced like a retro track, ‘Waiting Around to Live’ features some charming little piano pieces as well as a memorable trumpet melody. Brian’s warm and inviting vocal performance just seals the deal, bringing the whole song together and creating a timeless folk gem.
“I wrote ‘Waiting Around to Live’ when I felt like everything in my life was on hold and no one was around,” says Brian. “Anything promising was ‘coming soon’ – things I could only anticipate and dream about”.
A seasoned indie-folk musician who’s been on the scene since 2020, Brian Mathew is gearing up for the release of his sophomore album ‘LDL’. Representing the culmination of his artistic journey, it’s a record that will explore the profound themes of love, death, and life. We can’t wait to hear it!
