revealing<\/a>\u00a0that the new song is specifically about his wife and their long relationship.\u00a0\u201cIt’s\u00a0a love\u00a0song,\u00a0it’s\u00a0really about my wife. We’ve been together for quite some time, and I think when you really get to know someone, at\u00a0first\u00a0you really don’t see everything about them, but when you really get to know someone, it’s \u2018oh, I see you now, that’s\u00a0it.”\u00a0<\/p>\nThe song opens with the reflective line,\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019ve been together, for some time now, through all kinds of weather, but we\u2019re still\u00a0dreamin\u2019.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The New Music Video Keeps Things Simple\u00a0<\/p>\n
The accompanying video takes a striking minimalist approach.\u00a0Filmed in black and white, the visual was created by Sarina Taylor and Simon Lupton, with one memorable splash of color coming from Taylor\u2019s\u00a0ruby-red sneakers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The understated presentation fits the song\u2019s reflective mood, keeping the focus firmly on Taylor and the sentiment behind the track.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An Album About a Complicated World\u00a0<\/p>\n
Taylor has described an overarching theme centered on the contrast between the beauty of the world and\u00a0the violence.\u00a0\u201cIt’s\u00a0in the title really. What a beautiful world we live in,\u00a0don’t\u00a0f*** it up.\u00a0There seems to be all this insanity at the moment,\u201d he explains.\u00a0\u201cThe violence in the world seems to be as bad as it ever was, at any point, and certainly in my lifetime.\u00a0It’s\u00a0just horrific,\u00a0a lot\u00a0of insane violence. And we do seem to be f****** up the world, plastics in the sea, and all these awful wars everywhere, and hatred born of different religions.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cIt’s\u00a0a beautiful world, you know. And kindness is\u00a0very important, I think, it\u00a0seems to be\u00a0forgotten quite a lot.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
