As the opening chords of gentle acoustic guitar and a soft piano begin to play on Like Children Do, you feel pure, unadulterated love. Jim and Sam sing in unison with evocative vocals, effortlessly conveying the warmth and tenderness of a love story that has stood the test of time.
The delicate instrumentals create a warm and inviting atmosphere with a touch of nostalgia that will resonate with listeners. The lyrics are heartfelt and honest, painting a vivid picture of a love that has weathered the storms of life and come out stronger on the other side. The objective theme of hopefulness is a recurring theme on the track. However, it is not a song about falling in love but about staying in love.
Jim and Sam remind us that even in the darkest times, there is always a glimmer of hope if we look for it. Their lyrics remind us to cherish simple things in life, never take our loved ones for granted, and hold onto the magic of love. The perplexity of the lyrics adds depth and nuance to the song, making it feel like a conversation between two old friends. The verses flow seamlessly into the chorus, each line building on the last to create a rich tapestry of emotion.
Like Children Do is a preview of Jim and Sam’s upcoming album, Good On The Other Side, set for release on May 5, 2023.
