Leeds-based Mancunian singer-songwriter Sam Wilde returns today with his menacing new single ‘If You Stay’.
Recorded at Greenmount Studios in Leeds (The Cribs, Submotion Orchestra) and mastered by John Davis (Noel Gallagher, The Killers, Gorillaz) the latest offering from Wilde boasts a sinister yet captivating arrangement.
Speaking on the themes of the track, Sam says:
“I wrote this song at a time where I felt dissatisfied about a situation I was in. It came to an end and I had this lingering thought that maybe if I had tried a bit harder things would have turned out differently. This situation taught me to be content with things that may seem to feel too ordinary, but the value of this simplicity and the contentment it brings was something that I shouldn’t have underestimated. It’s about taking someone and your relationship with that someone for granted, and then only realising how much you truly care for that person once they have gone”.
