The kick is first introduced in the song in the chorus, the kick feels like it was put in the mix to give it more character. Throughout the whole song, the chords pretty much remain the same. The guitar is used throughout the entirety of the song and helps carry the light and loving meaning of the song. The start of the song starts with a four-bar guitar introduction, and the instrument sounds very silky and laid-back.Īs for the piano, it has a really nice warm tone and the right amount of sustain on it. Other than the vocals, the second most important element of this song is the acoustic guitar. This makes the track sound more beautiful and helps with conveying the smooth and sweet meaning of the track. There are also some light harmonies that are added in the second chorus, the main vocals are on top of these harmonies. In some sections of the song, the backing vocals and main vocals sound like they have close to an equal balance. The backing vocals are higher than the main vocals, creating that heavenly and beautifully immersive feeling in his vocals. Due to this, I believe that they may have used two auxiliary sends, one with a reverb input and the other with delay, and then panned is hard to both sides. The main vocals are quite centered whereas the reverb and delay sound more behind the mix. The Main vocal sounds like there are some slight reverb and a slight delay. This song is based on both personal and non-personal experiences of the artist, it seems that the aim of this song was to write something that anyone at any age would understand. As well as being a couple you have to retain your sense of being an individual and be able to have time on your own.” (GENIUS, 2016) I think a relationship has to have patience, compromise, respect as well as love and intimacy.
The following quote is what James Arthur wrote himself about these lyrics on GENIUS:
This could mean that their partner came to them when they were at their lowest moment, her being the light in a dark tunnel kind of metaphor, “You made me feel as though I was enough”. On the other, the speaker met their partner when they were in a “dark place”. On one hand, the couple first met in a dim, dark place but the individual’s personality was shinning compared to everyone else. Interestingly, this song opens with a double meaning.
