Samen met Sara Watkins van Nickel Creek brengt SYML een ode aan mensen die dichtbij je staan, in aanloop naar zijn album ‘The Day My Father Died’. De release volgt op de recent uitgebrachte single ‘Howling’, featuring Lucius. “When I talk about someone being the ‘Better Part of Me,’ it’s certainly a familiar trope. There is a sweetness that is appropriate and not saccharine when we think about our ‘other,’” aldus SYML. “Love is certainly a journey full of conflict and challenge, and the best way to become better together is through being honest with ourselves and one another. And to have Sara Watkins join me on this song is something of a dream. Nickel Creek’s first album was a blueprint for me as I started singing and writing songs. I love her voice, and the tenderness and simplicity she brings to this song fits perfectly.”
