Incredibly poignant and cinematic, ‘Friends’ is the kind of record that grows on the listener gradually, slowly capturing fragments of soul in any keen human out there. Penned by British troubadour TAM, the single is a stunning slice of dream pop and indietronica, sharing an immense evocative charge while laying out liminal atmospheres and ethereal textures.
TAM’s vocals are buoyant and gentle, yet also relatable and introspective, delivering a tale of nostalgic and timeless friendship. As the young creative calls for keeping your friend close, the song analyzes the undeniable passage of time in the face of constant change, with people and situations constantly evolving and moving on.
As he eloquently explains: “The song is about years rolling by and everything and everyone changing so you need to hold friends close because none of it is forever.” ‘Friends’ is taken from TAM’s latest EP ‘It’s Different out There’ – out now.
