Covid Creations: Bevsy

Bevsy – Distance (feat. Igloo)

I started the song as I was inspired by another song of my favourite artist. This was the song ‘Some Minds’ by Flume. If you listen to the songs back to back, you can really hear the similarities.

After creating the instrumental, I asked Freddie Gillmore, best known for his work as the front man of the band ‘Igloo’, to create some lyrics based on love and the positivity of moving on from it, even if it is hard. It was started roughly around January, so we were still able to get together at Shabby Road Studios at school and record the vocals. Then, after a long period of making finishing touches and processing the vocals, the project was done. I needed some artwork for the front cover since, I didn’t want it to just be a stock photo with my name photoshopped on top of it, like my previous tunes. I decided to ask Alicia Corradini, since I had seen some of her work within the art department and was impressed by what I saw. I sent her the lyrics to base the cover on, and within a few days she came back with the final design.

Through teamwork, I feel we really made something special that everyone can enjoy.

The lyrics:

Distanced from the love, that was part of us. I still hold it here, though not too close. Cus I, I wasn't ready And I, I wasn't ready

Shadow of another is hidden below Still live in the echo but no one would know Each day is a battle of my mind and soul The harder it is the more that I grow

The first verse talks about being disconnected from previous love, yet still appreciating it for what it was, even if it hurts to think about it now. The second verse is about how long after love you still think about that person, and the thought of them constantly echoes in your head, but how as time goes on you learn from the experience and grow from it, even if it is hard.

You can check out the single on Apple Music and Spotify under the artist name ‘Bevsy’, as well as some of Igloo’s work on their Spotify page. Watch out for more releases as I have more of this less bass-heavy style to come very soon.
