The new single “29”
While in his previous songs, “On Fire” and “Million Eyes“, the young artist was speaking about a constant battle to fit in and establish his self confidence, Loïc in his new song “29” changes topic referring to a heartbreak and the desire for a lost love. Music and Lyrics together convey the feelings of loneliness and hopelessness and an ongoing battle inside for the lost love.
This new song allows the Belgian star to showcase his vocal skills as he maintains low notes in the major part of song escalating progressively and reaching some high notes in the last chorus, proving his vocal range.
Check out all the above in the official music video of “29” below:
Loïc himself reaching his fans through his official Instagram account mentioned that this is is most personal project he has lately worked on. His debut album entitled Selfocracy was deeply insightful and revealing.
As the story of the lost love unfolds in his new song the act closes the song singing “last kiss on the 29… October night”, giving a meaning to the context and outlining this way the importance of the number “29” for him.
Here are the lyrics of the Loïc’s new single:
“29” — Loïc Nottet
She said I never want to hurt you again
I said I never want this to come to an end
She said look at me baby, these tears we run out
I said I took you for granted but I can’t be without you
Please can we just say
Pretty lies, pretty lies
Lie to each other again
One last time
Slowly let me down
Every word pulls me apart
Gently tell me how
To forgive me now
‘Cause all I need is on your lips
Tell my enemy they’re my remedy
So slowly let me down
Give me a kiss just one last time
Give me a kiss just one last time
As we both sat in your car
Talking about the past
As we were facing each other
We were falling apart, yeah
Please can we just say
Pretty lies, pretty lies
Lie to each other again
One last time
Slowly let me down
Every word pulls me apart
Gently tell me how
To forgive me now
‘Cause all I need is on your lips
Tell my enemy they’re my remedy
So slowly let me down
Give me a kiss just one last time
Nights so long, days longer
It seems no end in sight
I lost it all, the 29
That October night
Slowly let me down
Gently tell me how
Slowly let me down
Every word pulls me apart
Gently tell me how
To forgive me now
‘Cause all I need is on your lips
Tell my enemy they’re my remedy
So slowly let me down
Give me a kiss just one last time
Give me a kiss just one last time
Last kiss on the 29
October night
