“Fade” by Lewis Capaldi – A Song Review

     Bluesy brooding is deservedly gaining increasing attention in the Indie universe. Into this brightening spotlight steps Lewis Capaldi, a Scottish singer/ songwriter who is set to release his debut EP. “Fade” is one of four songs on the EP, entitled “Bloom.”

     At the start of “Fade,” a piano ushers in the resonance of Capaldi’s voice. As the track progresses, the passion within the vocals varies and Capaldi shows the ability to comfortably jump octaves, but the piano remains unshaken. So, while “Fade” is an emotional single, the piano provides emotional stability.

     Capaldi is from Bathgate, which is outside Glasgow, Scotland. He is currently on tour in Europe, but will support Milky Chance during a U.S. tour in 2018. The tour dates are included at the bottom of this post.

Lyrics of “Fade” by Lewis Capaldi
It ain't no wonder why we lose control
When we're always heart attack away from falling in love
Well, I know that we've been hardly holding on
To tell the truth, I can't believe we got this far
Running near on empty
I wish somebody would've told me

That I'd end up so caught up in need of your demons
That I'd be lost without you leading me astray
Guess that I'm a fool for the way that you caught me
Girl, you make my heart break more every day
But don't fade away

And when I'm just about to pass the point of it all
You come ripping all the air from out of my lungs
And now it's so hard to believe
I wish somebody would've told me

That I'd end up so caught up in need of your demons
That I'd be lost without you leading me astray
Guess that I'm a fool for the way that you caught me
Girl, you make my heart break more every day

Well, I know that we've been hardly holding on
To tell the truth, I can't believe we got this far
Oh, well, I know that we've been hardly holding on
To tell the truth, I can't believe we got this far
Somebody would've told me
Somebody would've told me

That I'd end up so caught up in need of your demons
That I'd be lost without you leading me astray
Guess I'm such a fucking fool for the way that you caught me
Girl, you make my heart break more every day

But don't fade away
(Well, I know that we've been hardly holding on)
To tell the truth, I can't believe we got this far
Don't fade away
(Well, I know that we've been hardly holding on)
To tell the truth, I can't believe we got this far
Don't fade away
