Scottish singer and composer Emeli Sande has returned to the music scene with a new single that is released as the first preview of her next album.
The artist has returned with the new song ‘Sparrow‘, a ballad co-written by the singer and Laidi Saliasi and also produced by Emeli with Troy Miller.
“Sparrows are always in flocks and do almost everything together. They’re a symbol of strength and protection in numbers. A reminder that we’re not alone and united we are powerful! Seek strength in each other”, said Sande.
The official video for ‘Sparrow’ was filmed in New York with Sarah McColgan production. About this video, Sande explained: “Each woman in this video has their own unique strength and there was a real sense of sisterhood felt throughout the shoot.”
‘SPARROW’ (Lyrics)
I got wind beneath my wings
I think this time I’m gonna make it ’til morning
I got strength within my heart
I’m gonna sing for all the heroes who’ve fallen
Yeah, I’m gonna take the long, the long way home
Yes, I’m gonna take the world, the world by storm
We got magic in our bones
Just like the stars, we’re gonna shine, bright and golden, ooh
We go bang down all the doors
Make sure we take back all the things that were stolen
Yeah, we’re gonna take the long, the long way home, yeah
Oh, we’re gonna take the world, the world by storm
See, with the heart of a sparrow
Oh, tell me what arrow could ever bring you down, mmm, yeah
Oh, the escape, it was narrow
But what a gift, the, the courage you found, mmm
See, with the heart of a sparrow
Oh, tell me what arrow could ever bring you down
Oh, the escape, it was narrow
But, but what gift, the courage you found, yeah
I got stars within my soul
I think the dust the end is gonna finally settle, but hurry
Pure as rivers, strong as mountains
We spread love like the flowers give petals
Oh, we’re gonna take the long, the long way home
Oh, we’re gonna take the world, the world by storm, yeah
We’re gonna take, take the long way home, that’s right
Then we’re gonna take the world, the world by storm
Yes, we’re gonna take the whole wide world by storm
