Ellen Louise - 'Sandcastles'
Soulful pop-folk artist Ellen Louise remembers her grandfather on emotional new single ‘Sandcastles’.
‘Sandcastles’ makes your heart sing and your soul weep a little. Beautifully emotive piano lines wrap around Ellen’s soaring vocals as she sings an ode to a man who shaped her future in a million different ways but left without remembering any of it. “I wrote this song last year when my Grandad passed away,” she reveals. “He had been suffering with Alzheimers for a while. The song is about the impact this had on those around him and how sad it was to watch him fade away.”
Raw and honest, ‘Sandcastles’ resonates with everyone who has lived through a similar experience and offers comfort by remembering the love, the light, the happy days. A picture-perfect track that captures Ellen’s impressive skill to weave pure emotion into gorgeous melodies. Definitely a voice to look out for.
