about

‘By Your Side’ is Melbourne indie duo The Indigos’ debut independent release. This enchantingly personal bedroom recording is steeped in rich guitar tones and entrancing vocals.

‘By Your Side’ is The Indigos’ cathartic rumination on the themes of longing, belonging and loneliness that have been central to 2020. Set to release on the 1st of December 2020 it is their self-produced debut single, meticulously produced over months of bedroom recording sessions throughout Melbourne’s lockdowns, where the duo were unable to play music together but found solace in creating ‘By Your Side’.

The lavish, plush melodies that reverberate through ‘By Your Side’ are delivered with a bold sense of fragility straight from the heart of frontman Kieran Rule. A listen to this introspective single takes exactly as long as it takes to sit back with a cup of tea and think about all the reasons you love the ones you’re missing the most.

lyrics

Stop.
Take a breath.
I close my eyes,
as they lay me to rest.
It wasn’t easy, like they promised it’d be,
but it’s the right thing.

I can’t wait to be there by your side x4
One more time.

I never wanted to leave them here,
but I know I leave them well.
The speaker once just a boy,
Never again to be held.
I think of the faces,
That’ll miss me the most.

And all I ever wanted was,
To know that you’d be safe tonight.

I can’t wait to be there by your side x4
One more time.
