Toronto-based multi-platinum artist and producer elijah woods has just revealed his latest single, “losing a friend.” Emotionally raw and profoundly introspective, “losing a friend” delves deep into the complexities of human relationships and the tumultuous journey of self-discovery.
With haunting lyrics that resonate with honesty and vulnerability, the song captures the essence of grappling with imperfections and the weight of unspoken truths. From the poignant confession, ‘I’m not perfect, I think you thought I was,‘ to the haunting question, ‘Is this the end? Is it over?’ every word is a soul-baring exploration of love, loss, and the relentless search for closure. Through a captivating blend of heartfelt melodies and raw emotional conviction, “losing a friend” is a reminder that sometimes, the hardest battles are the ones fought within ourselves.
“’losing a friend’ was written about a very personal experience,” elijah says. “The progression from a small, intimate piano ballad to a full-out rock-inspired soaring outro encapsulates the love, confusion, disappointment and grief. The song speaks to the end of a friendship and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it.”
