Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Melissa Lamm Releases New Song “Balcony”
Toronto-based singer-songwriter Melissa Lamm has delivered a new song “Balcony” along with a music video.
The song follows up the live EP “All the Words I Thought I'd Say: Live from the Loft”, which was released on June 4, 2021.
She wrote the song during lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
“I spent last summer's lockdown on my balcony in Toronto, and wrote a song about it,” Melissa Lamm explained of the song. “I had just gotten married before the pandemic, and was dreaming of a honeymoon abroad. When lockdown hit, my husband and I abandoned our plans of a far away vacation, and made our own little paradise in the concrete jungle.”
She continued, “'Balcony' tells a humble story about making the most of wherever you are. You may not be able to spend your summer on a tropical beach or sightseeing abroad, but sitting on a modest little balcony with someone you love can be a perfect time – even if you aren't doing anything at all.”- She added, “I love full pop sounds but chose to take a more chill and stripped down approach to this recording, which is about enjoying the simple moments in life. Sometimes I look back at last summer and feel nostalgic about my time spent on my balcony, and this year I'm honestly looking forward to another summer spent doing absolutely nothing staring down at Toronto sidewalks with the person I love.”
