‘Follow the sound of my voice’ is de nieuwe singel van X Ambassadors, bestaande uit Sam Nelson Harris, Casey Harris en Adam Levin. Het nummer werd door Sam geschreven voor zijn broer en bandlid Casey. De song is de voorbode van hun nieuwe album ‘Townie’, dat op 5 april wordt uitgebracht. Eerder dropte X Ambassadors al de songs “Your Town,” “No Strings” and “Half-Life.”
Over ‘Follow The Sound of My Voice’ zegt Sam: “I was terrified to write this song. When I first started thinking about Townie, I had an idea to write a song about every member of the band. Then I realized that I would have to write a song about my brother, Casey. My stomach instantly went into knots. It scared me so much — not only because distilling our entire relationship into a single song seemed so daunting, but also because I knew that I’d have to talk very candidly about a pretty big elephant in the room.
Casey is blind. He was born blind due to a genetic disorder called Senior-Løken syndrome. I’ve helped my brother navigate through the world my whole life. He uses a cane, but I’m often also guiding him by the shoulder. And when he doesn’t have his cane and my hands are full, he has to rely solely on the sound of my voice. Just a voice in the dark, reaching out.”
