Video Premiere: The Sound of Arrows - Beautiful Life

Brand new The Sound of Arrows! The Swedish duo return with the gorgeous and moving Beautiful Life, their first outing in five years. Stefan Storm and Oskar Gullstrand released their debut album Voyage in 2011 and have created stunning remixes along the way for artists such as Lady GaGa. This new single had us at the intro alone and truly up their game in a sharp and gleaming way. The first 37 seconds is like a bright summer morning just waiting for the day to take off, which it does when the strings start shimmering around the 38 second mark. Stefan's vocals are so beautiful and evoke such tender feelings. And they're so understated and effortless which pairs so well with the gleaming and dramatic strings. A symphony of emotions if you will. The lyrical motif sets the scene of a brooding night of longing and hoping and the visuals are equally as striking. Gorgeous scenery and locations plus awesome cinematography all make for one beautiful video. The lone figure in sportswear in the middle of it all makes it a bit raw and like an everyday situation, despite all the phenomenal things around him. Much like life itself, no? It all happens when we least expect it and we just have to embrace it. Top marks!
