This is absolutely stunning and beautiful. What a beautiful tribute to Simone :wub:

The ending of that video is actually heart wrenching. It's no easy task to create a sincere tribute immediately after an event like that but it's both tasteful and touching.

They have really made everything right with this release, haven't they? :wub:

 

The artwork isn't too dark/sad, but at the same it's not too fun or bright like they usually are with them.

The song doesn't sound like a 100% direct go at Simone, so it doesn't feel like they are using her death to cash in, but then the lyrics can easily be associated with the recent events.

And the video is incredibly heart wrenching, but in a very good way, and it feels like such a pretty and respectful tribute to Simone and who she was.

 

She LOOKED so happy. Seriously, I would have never figured it out. Depression is such a scary disease and it's way too overlooked.

 

Emmalyn's voice is giving me life. Her pre-chorus makes me wanna burst out singing. :cheer:

This is so beautiful. I have had this on repeat now for about 3 hours with probably a 20 minute break :wub:

I really hope this goes up for pre-order soon :wub:

This is exactly why it works for me, it's a really personal song but it's also one that most people could still relate to easily :wub:

 

And yes indeed :( It shocks and scares so much more than depression already does when someone who looks and seems as happy as Simone can be in such a state of despair, but that's the nature of it sadly :(

I'm just so happy for Frankie's sake that she was able to seek help before anything got worse. Simone was incredible. :(

Would be nice for the girls to get a top 10 hit with this that they never truly got with UH thanks to streaming.

Such a beautiful tribute to Simone. Just the description hit me: "In Memory Of Simone Battle".

 

Really hope it can actually smash worldwide.

Not sure I can add anything that hasn't already been said! Everything about this is a triumph - the song, message, video, tribute, the whole 'feel' of it. They got it all completely spot on and it's the perfect nod to Simone while allowing them move on as a four-piece. The song itself is a stunner and I'd love to see it do really well for them.

Underwhelming start worldwide tbh.

Perfect is all I can say. This song is going to carry me through the next couple of months. I've watched the video twice and it brought me to tears at the end.

this song is so incredibly special. i don't think i have ever been so moved by a song and video as with this and for anyone that suffers with depression and has been in a dark place it resonates even more.

 

so pure of spirit, so beautiful.

Incredible, beautiful and such a nice tribute, I wish this song global success!

Glad the full song ended up being as good as the snippet made it seem. I downloaded it from US iTunes first thing this morning. Definitely a hit in the making!

I really think this could be the best pop song of the last few years.

 

Everything about it is so perfect. So full of emotion and sincerity whilst being so melodic and just being so anthemic. As for that video, just incredible.

This is a certain #1 I'd say, and fully deserved it would/will be too.

 

Been listening to it on repeat today.

I'm surprised at how badly this is doing on US iTunes. :(

 

I do think it's pretty much certain to go top 10 here, though.

They're not exactly big in the US though are they? In fact I'd say they're barely known.

 

I expect it'll be a BIG smash in the UK, but probably take time to build up in the US (if it does).

They're not, but they were on pretty much every news site when Simone died so I thought more people would know about them now and know about the song considering it's a memory to her.

It's doing well in Australia so far which is great, I think it will do well here too. I hope the US wakes up to them, they're brilliant.
