On the new track the band said: "This song holds a special place in our hearts. It marks the opening track of our second album, and it's the very first one we wrote for it. We've been performing it live for quite some time now, and we're genuinely surprised by how deeply our fans have connected with it. We're ecstatic that it's finally out in the world!" "For You" is an anthem dedicated to that one person for whom you'd go to great lengths at the end of the day. From the opening piano intro that sets the emotional tone, to the subtle strings that add heartwarming accents, and the powerful drums that enter with gripping gravitas - this track is designed to stir the listeners’ emotions.
As the lyrics promise, "We make it count together / one day lie down forever. When the sun sets, I'll be waiting at the shore for you." The song conjures nostalgic and warm imagery in the mind of anyone who listens to it.
For the upcoming How Have You Been? album the band released an album trailer on socials and had fans buzzing about the impending album pre-order that went live last week. Watch the album trailer for How Have You Been? HERE.
