Giant Rooks Share Uplifting New Single ‘Somebody Like You’
The new track follows the release of fan favorite ‘Bedroom Exile’ which has so far amassed well over 5 million streams on Spotify.
German indie rock outfit Giant Rooks’ uplifting new single “Somebody Like You” is out now via Mercury/Republic Records. You can watch the song’s official video below.
The band elaborated on the new song in a statement, saying “We wrote “Somebody Like You” in just a few hours in our rehearsal room. Playing and writing together as a band releases a special energy and we tried to capture that feeling on the record.
“Lyrically we wanted to explore a vignette form of songwriting, telling different stories of different characters in each verse. Something we‘ve never done before.”
On the track, bright guitars coast over a hypnotic beat punctuated by celestial chimes. The hook takes flight with an undeniable and unshakable confession, “I let my guard down for the moment. Wherever you go, I’ll be going too. I’ve been waiting for somebody like you.”
It stands out as another skyscraping arena-ready anthem from this fast-rising band.
“Somebody Like You” arrives in the wake of the fan favorite “Bedroom Exile.” Thus far, that song has amassed over 5.3 million Spotify streams and counting.
Throughout the summer, Giant Rooks will embark on a high-profile global festival run. Touching down on multiple continents.
