Leah Haworth - “To The Moon and Back”
With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, you may be running low on gift ideas. However, igniting the fires of burning desire is only one song away, now that Lancashire-based Leah Haworth has released her intimately performed “To The Moon and Back.”
Legend has it that half of this track was recorded in Haworth’s shed, authentically crafted through the utilization of an acoustic guitar and her wonderful voice. By pressing the play button, Haworth is inviting you into her lo-fi world of longing and the inner workings of the entire universe. If your current lover does not appreciate the sheer vulnerability in this honest and heartfelt performance, we encourage you to leave them for another.
The other half of “To The Moon and Back” was given life via the studio of London-based Peter Lyons. And as the song proceeds, the arrangement expands to include some delicate synth and a sweetly layered vocal harmony. Bass is added in order to bring a sophisticated sense of depth to the production, and it is not long before we find ourselves wondering where this song has been our entire lives.
Midpoint provides a lo-fi beat, ensuring that the listener remains engaged and instilling a reliable momentum to the back half. The culmination of these elements provides “To The Moon and Back” with a wondrous and natural crescendo, begging you to play it again and again. Even if you find yourself cold and alone this time of year, we attest that this enchanting tune might be all the company that you need.
