Tom Speight Releases New Single ‘If This Is How The Story Ends’
London-based singer and songwriter Tom Speight has just shared his brand new single If This Is How the Story Ends, the second instalment of Tom’s third studio album, scheduled for the summer/autumn of 2023.
Out now via Nettwerk Records, If This Is How the Story Ends embodies a desperate yearning for the light at the end of the tunnel, though it may seem impossible to reach. Tom Speight's delicate, expressive vocal delivery beautifully captures the raw emotions of trying to cling to the fading embers being suffocated by turmoil and uncertainty. The acoustic backdrop with its intricate guitar riffs, steady beat and lush harmonies, helps to personify the melancholic yet wistful feelings of Tom's vocals and storytelling. This is a relatable story of heartache and defeat with just the right amount of melancholia perfect for a reflective day home alone. Check it out below!
Diving deep into his personal experiences, Tom states that,
‘If This Is How The Story Ends’ tackles my parent’s divorce & realisation that some things aren’t always meant to be but having the hope/love that you can keep things together. It was inspired by acts like Sufjan Stevens & Jose Gonzalez with its intimate acoustic nature.
