Having cut his teeth on electronic music,\u00a0Crywolf<\/strong> is breaking new ground for himself with a show stopping new acoustic track\u00a0titled “Weight”.\u00a0So organic and so piercingly emotional, it’s the ideal song to turn a lonely Valentine’s Day into a devastatingly lonely Valentine’s Day. But hey, everybody needs a good cry.<\/p>\n

I’m scared you’ll leave me in the ground<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Weight”\u00a0is the antithesis to\u00a0the overly stark acoustic ballad – striking a tremendous balance between cold emptiness and vast lushness. For every chilly, lonesome verse vocal, there’s a parallel moment of goose bump inducing choral harmony, all tied together by the woozy howl of a lap steel guitar. Lyrically,\u00a0Crywolf<\/strong> pours his heart out here, with a seemingly universal account of unrequited love that lies somewhere between bittersweet and devastating.<\/p>\n

“When I truly fall for someone, I can’t get them out of my heart for a decade”, he writes in the song’s YouTube description, “Sometimes I can almost physically feel the weight of every love I’ve known, pressing down on my shoulders”.<\/p>\n

We may only be in February, but “Weight” has every opportunity to end up gracing 2017’s top tracks lists. If\u00a0Crywolf<\/strong> manages to reach these kinds of explorative heights across the entirety of his upcoming “Skeletons” EP; well, tissues may be in order.<\/p>\n

Feel something. Press play.<\/p>\n
