Floyd Returns With New Song “Shadow Self (The Best That I Can)”
San Francisco-based singer-songwriter Floyd has returned with a new song “Shadow Self (The Best That I Can)” along with a music video.
The song is her first single since “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)”, which was released last November.
It was written by Floyd, and produced by Ed Clare and Georgann Ireland.
The song will appear on her upcoming EP.
“'Shadow Self (The Best That I Can),' came to me in pieces,” Floyd said of the song. “I wrote the musical hook first, that haunting guitar line and chord progression that runs throughout the track. It's all I had for months and every time I played it, I just had this longing, this melancholy and sadness. I wrote several different versions of the song and even recorded it once a couple of years ago. But it wasn't right and I knew it. I didn't have the story right, the lyrics and melody didn't have the same power that I felt when I played the music.”
She continued, “It wasn't until I was getting ready to go back into the studio this year that I really challenged myself to finish it. I had to be brave and focus on what it was that was in my heart that was trying to come out…the memories, the regret, the things I didn't want to think about.”- Photo by Renee Jahnke
