Sam Way\u2019s last release, \u2018You and All Your Things\u2019 was about that point in a relationship when you are trying to work out if you are going to make it, it was about teetering on the brink of destruction and not knowing whether you will make it out of the other side of the tunnel in one piece.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We pick up the story again with \u2018Hard Feelings\u2019, and it documents the moment that the relationship falls apart and ultimately fails. \u2018Make up your mind and let me know \/\/ cause it\u2019s clear that this isn\u2019t working\u2019, he sings in the chorus, along with guest vocalist Fleur.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The track, with its unassuming strings introduction, is soon taken up a notch with the inclusion of Sam Way\u2019s sultry vocals. The intensity is then taken a notch with entry of Fleur\u2019s elegant and beautiful harmonies. The song is delicate and yet there is an underlying power, perhaps a metaphor for the ability to carry on in the midst of despair.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018Hard Feelings\u2019 was released on the 17<sup>th<\/sup> of July, and with new music already being created things don\u2019t seem to be slowing down for this artful singer songwriter.
