‘By You’ is the new single from London-based singer songwriter James Crowley and it’s a beautifully crafted sweet pop song “exploring optimism that comes in a relationship before excavating the depths of a person and finding out who they really are.” The song has a bittersweet flavour and is driven by a subtle and minimalistic soundscape, mesmerisingly sharp vocals and shimmering guitar tones.
The song talks about the difficulty of being at ease with happiness, “I tend to catastrophise when everything seems like it’s going well, waiting for the ‘gotcha’ moment where it all unravels. This song helped me resolve some of that tension and see the beauty in not knowing.” His sweet way of storytelling and sounding like he knows exactly how we feels, make ‘By You’ such a beautiful chapter in the musical career of James Crowley!
