Premiere: Laura Hickli - Love, Outlive Me
Calgary’s Laura Hickli is a baroque-pop artist who crafts dreamy soundscapes that have an uncanny ability to suck listeners into the world she creates. Her music is a truly immersive experience best heard with headphones. Today we are very excited to be able to premiere her latest single, “Love, Outlive Me”.
Regarding the song, Hickli explains:
“I wrote ‘Love, Outlive Me’ in a deep trance, imagining how my inevitable death will feel like now that I have renounced my childhood religion and no longer believe in an after-life. Love, Outlive Me explores my feelings as I imagine closing the book of life after chapters of loving, hurting and enjoying existence in this body and this world. I finally found some peace in the knowledge that even though I can’t take any of this with me and this is the end, the love I feel and share with my friends and family is eternal and will live on beyond me.”
The track arrives today in the form of a video directed by award-winning filmmaker Calvin A. Jay. The video follows Hickli on a raw, emotional journey through her past as she comes to terms with accepting death without after-life.
