about

Your the first to know! This song is not available anywhere else until official release on the 4th May! You got first dibs! YAY!

What’s the song about?

The buildings, the people and the sunsets of South Beach, Miami. That holiday feeling that makes you forget all your troubles, that sense of longing. The song compares the city to the love affair, a fleeting holiday romance that leaves you pining for more.

What’s the song sound like?

With lyrics leading the way the song bursts into life with Field’s distinctive voice like a warm coastal breeze. The production is a fresh, unassuming wash of warm sound, like muscles relaxing in a hot tub. By the time we hit the chorus it’s a deep dive into the ocean with Field’s soulful vocals, full of resonance. By the second chorus, we’re just about ready to sing along as the song gains momentum, Field hones in on simplicity in her writing style. The keys and synth bring a light bounce to the track like champagne bubbles making beelines for the surface, then we plunge a little deeper into a darker sense of longing for the bridge. The song plays out with the clean tones of an understated guitar solo that dances above the rhythm to fade. At just over 3 minutes, this is where you want to hit repeat.

SONG LYRICS

I fell into a pastel paint-by-numbers in the sunshine
A big old turquoise ocean was a backdrop to geometric lines
Humidity was high under the palm trees
And everyone’s smiling at the same time

Miami, Miami designs
Miami, how I miss Miami light
And her mother of pearl sky

Neon beach lit up by the moon and stars
Old man on a park bench with a Cuban cigar
Sweet summer breeze at midnight with nowhere to go
How could this feel so right
When I’m so far from home?

Miami, Miami designs
Miami, how I miss Miami light
And her mother of pearl sky

She’ll make you fall in love
You’ll forget your friends
Blinded by her light
You’ll never want it to end
And if you somehow leave
No matter where you are
You’ll always remember how time stopped
When you were in her arms
