On Only Lovers Left Alive, Sarah von Reis delivers a hauntingly beautiful track that explores the dark and moody themes of anti-love and frustration. This brooding anthem builds slowly, with hazy vocals and a bell-like tone that create a sense of melancholy and isolation. The beat eventually kicks in, and the melodic chorus sweeps in with its tender repetition of the lyrics, “only lovers left alive”.

The elegant production and evocative rhythm create an immersive listening experience that is both powerful and emotional. Drawing inspiration from the vampire film of the same name, Sarah’s lyrics explores the complexities of love, jealousy, and cynicism. She explores the pain of standing outside society’s duality and looking in, while being frustrated by how love can blind us and make us behave irrationally.

Only Lovers Left Alive is an anti-love song that channels the darkness of jealousy into a brooding and evocative musical experience.
