Paris

Paris

This song is about the lingering magic of past romance and the passage of time. The song captures the enduring enchantment of love amidst the everyday realities of life, with a rich, nostalgic sound inspired by Richard Hawley and enhanced by Ainslie Wills’ guest vocals and lush strings. About the track Richard says: "In my twenties I spent a few years in Paris, which is a city I love and often dream about, even now. While I was there I ended up crossing paths with the person I’d end up marrying a few years later, although we were living separate lives at the time. This is a song about love and time travel, how the reality of life 15 years later may not match the heady days of living in the city of light, but when I look at her I still feel that excitement and freedom, even if I’m cleaning up after a 4 year old or she’s packing a lunch box for an 8 year old. There’s still magic in those moments. I wanted this one to sound like Richard Hawley, shamelessly romantic and sentimental, with a beautiful guest vocal by the Australian artist Ainslie Wills, and lots and lots of strings."
