Eli Paperboy Reed has to be one of the most consistent artists that we’ve ever come across. This much-loved soul artist has maintained a high standard of work for quite some time, and new single ‘Getting There is no exception.
Lifted from a forthcoming LP of the same name (out on the 11th September), the track serves as a heartfelt ode to the ever-changing stages of a person’s life.
The lyrics remind listeners that a fulfilled life is one that appreciates the journey and not the end goal. The song represents one of the core ideas of the new album – that of enduring love.
“There’s plenty of music out there about falling in love. I wanted to write about staying in love. I wanted to get to the heart of what it takes to go the distance, of what it means for two people to walk side by side, through good times and bad, and still choose each other every single day.”
