The emotional ballad serves as the
first offering off their three-part release
Ben&Ben expresses the loneliness that comes in waves after being apart from
your loved one for so long.
On their new
single, “Autumn,” out
today via Sony Music Entertainment, the nine-piece collective copes with
the emotional complications that hit home, resulting in a song about “the
distance that people often unintentionally create with their other half,
because of the changes that life throws at us.”
According to the
Paninidigan Kita hitmakers, the introspective track was written in
Canada last year, right smack in the middle of their North American tour. The
band’s lead vocalist and guitarist, Paolo Benjamin, felt an aching yearning to
be with his significant other, as the long distance proved to be very
challenging for both of them.
“A few months
later, in early 2023, brother Miguel Benjamin completed the lyrics, also adding
a bridge about being in different seasons, which really completed the message
of the song,” the folk-pop collective adds. “It speaks about themes of
loneliness, yearning, and ultimately, hoping against hope that a new season will
come.”
Marking a new chapter
for the band, “Autumn” embraces a new direction that reveals subtle details
with each listen. Blending rich, acoustic arrangements with lush textures and
otherworldly touches, the emotional ballad is meticulously crafted to capture
the yearning that comes with being in a long-distance relationship with your
other half.
The
award-winning band explains in a collective statement, “Autumn is a song
where we showcase how we’ve evolved and matured as a band. Writing-wise, we felt
that the perspective was a more realistic and mature take on the subject.
Arrangement and production-wise, we discovered a lot of new ways to express
sounds that achieve the emotion we were going for.”
The song is
included in a three-part release that Ben&Ben hopes to share in the coming
weeks. Aside from “Autumn,” the acclaimed Filipino act will also be dropping
the full-band version of their new track “Courage” in the following week, as
well as a special collaboration with another artist, due December 8, 2023.
Ben&Ben’s
“Autumn” is out
now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
