Big Warm Bed - “Stuck In The Middle”
Leeds-based songwriter Jacob Andrews, aka Big Warm Bed, has just released the reflective musings of “Stuck In The Middle.”
Andrews has a knack for crafting introspective slices of dreamy pop-rock and listeners shall be immediately enthralled by the cathartic nature of “Stuck In The Middle.” Above a layer of reverb-soaked, shimmering electric guitar, his vocal performance enters the ears like a lo-fi dreamscape, bearing some warm resemblance to such acts as Sam Evian, Kevin Morby, and Far Caspian.
The rhythm that eventually arrives is a sun-kissed delight that pairs well with those endless summer drives along a midnight coastline, even if you can only make that journey in your mind. This steady, hypnotic beat drops in and out of the arrangement, offering music lovers a glorious dose of ebb and flow, which– let’s be honest– mirrors the emotional ups and downs of our earthly existence.
About the track, Andrews offers: “‘Stuck In The Middle‘ is about putting on face just to get you through the day. It’s a song about grief and yearning for the love of a lost one. It’s about relating on a personal level to what someone else may be going through. It’s a song about being stuck in cyclical habits and never really learning from your mistakes.”
It’s not too often that we veer from our dark and gritty preferences with the genre of indie rock, but the soothingly soul-searching essence of “Stuck In The Middle” is something that cannot be ignored. The track is now available everywhere, thanks to Dance To The Radio, a label that always seems to deliver the right music at the perfect time. “Stuck In The Middle” comes from Big Warm Bed’s new EP, Watering The Valley.
