Having just finished touring the UK with Grandaddy, Amber Arcades have recently unveiled new single, ‘Can’t Say That We Tried’, taken from the upcoming ‘Cannonball EP’.
Songwriter Annelotte De Graaf says of the song, “I feel like a lot of times when I am attracted to a certain person or situation, it is not so much the person or situation itself but more my idea of what they represent, and this idea does not necessarily represent reality in any way. Getting to know people is scary because it necessarily requires you to bury your idealised version of a person and thereby bury a little piece of yourself or your childlike dreams maybe. But then again if you run away the moment someone doesn’t seem to nicely conform to your idealised vision, you can’t really say you’ve tried or given anything a fair shot.” Take a listen.
